Rob Zombie recently confirmed that he will be writing and directing The Munsters, a new film based on the beloved 1960s sitcom (buy it HERE), and since then Munsters-related posts have dominated his Instagram feed. He went for a ride in the Munster family's Koach with Butch Patrick, who played little Eddie on the show, he went to Budapest to scout locations, he visited the house on the Universal backlot that served as the Munster Mansion way back then – and he revealed the blueprints for an exact replica of Munster Mansion that is going to be built for the film. When we see Zombie's version of the Munsters on the screen, they'll be living in the same house we saw in the original show.
Here's the blueprint. More of Zombie's Munsters posts can be seen below.
The original iteration of The Munsters ran from two seasons, from September 1964 to May 1966, and consisted of 70 episodes. The series
starred Fred Gwynne as Frankenstein's monster and head-of-the-household Herman Munster; Yvonne De Carlo as his wife Lily Munster; Al Lewis as Lily's father, Grandpa, the somewhat over-the-hill vampire Count Dracula who longs for the "good old days" in Transylvania; Beverley Owen (later replaced by Pat Priest) as their teenage niece Marilyn Munster, who was attractive by conventional standards but the "ugly duckling" of the family; and Butch Patrick as their werewolfish son Eddie Munster.
The cast for Zombie's film has not yet been confirmed, but the rumor is that Jeff Daniel Phillips and Sheri Moon Zombie will be playing Herman and Lily Munster, and they'll be joined in the cast by Daniel Roebuck, Jorge Garcia, Richard Brake, Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson, and Sylvester McCoy.
Zombie has confirmed that the character of TV horror host Zombo will be appearing in his The Munsters. He shared a look at pieces of the character's wardrobe, and revealed his Zombo tattoo.
