Cameras are officially rolling on Rob Zombie’s The Munsters, and we know this for sure because the musician/filmmaker shared an image from the set that shows his director’s chair sitting in front of the monitors during production. Is that the interior of the Munster mansion at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in the background and on the monitors? We can’t be sure, because Zombie didn’t specify.
This is the latest in a long line of behind-the-scenes Munsters images that have been shared by Zombie. He has previously shown the blueprint for an exact replica of the Munsters’ house, given us a look at costume designs for Herman and Lily Munster’s sleepwear, confirmed that horror host character Zombo will be in the movie, posted a picture of the wig the actor who plays Grandpa will be wearing, given an early look at the crafting of Herman’s head, shown off some of the wardrobe, shared pictures of some creature effects, showed the houses being built on Mockingbird Lane, updated on the construction of the Munsters Mansion, teased that Herman will be wearing the leather jacket he wears when racing in the Dragula roadster, give us a look at the actors in costume, and more.

This film is an update of the classic sitcom The Munsters, which ran for two seasons, from September 1964 to May 1966, and consisted of 70 episodes. (You can buy the complete series at THIS LINK.) The show
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.
This time around, Jeff Daniel Phillips is playing Herman Munster, Sheri Moon Zombie is Lily, and Daniel Roebuck is Grandpa / The Count.
Also believed to be in the cast are Jorge Garcia, Richard Brake, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson, and Sylvester McCoy.
A release date for The Munsters has not yet been announced, but it is expected to end up on the Peacock streaming service.
