Writer/director Rob Zombie has shared a couple more images related to his feature update of the classic sitcom The Munsters – but this isn’t just another article about the many images Zombie has shared on social media throughout filming and post-production on The Munsters. This time we have some news to share about the movie’s progress as well! Zombie has informed his fans and followers that “Tomorrow! The official Munsters teaser trailer is coming your way!”
So keep an eye out for the teaser trailer for The Munsters tomorrow (that’s Wednesday, June 8th). In the meantime, here’s an image of Zombie hanging out on set with Herman Munster (Jeff Daniel Phillips), Lily Munster (Sheri Moon Zombie), and The Count (Daniel Roebuck). Below that, at the bottom of this article, we see Lily interacting with some of the local kids on Mockingbird Lane.
The Munsters 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.
In addition to the actors pictured above, Zombie’s The Munsters stars Richard Brake as mad scientist Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang, Catherine Schell as a gypsy woman named Zoya Krupp, Jorge Garcia as Herman’s friend Floop, Tomas Boykin as Lily’s werewolf brother Lester, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson as realtor Barbara Carr, Dee Wallace as the voice of Good Morning Transylvania, Sylvester McCoy as Igor, the loyal servant to the Munsters, and original sitcom cast member Pat Priest – possibly reprising the role of Marilyn! Jeremy Wheeling, Roderick Hill, and Mark Griffith are also in there are Mr. Gateman, Mr. Goodbury, and Mr. Graves, the owners of the Gateman, Goodbury, and Graves Funeral Home.

He has shown off his director’s chair, 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, showed off a piece of furniture, some set interiors, posted a picture of the wig Roebuck will be wearing and of Roebuck being measured for Grandpa’s coffin, 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, showed the completed house, teased that Herman will be wearing the leather jacket he wears when racing in the Dragula roadster, revealed Sylvester McCoy‘s Igor look, given us a glimpse of Richard Brake as Dr. Wolfgang, Catherine Schell as Zoya Krupp, Jorge Garcia as Herman’s buddy Floop, Cassandra Peterson as Barbara Carr, a Munsters Christmas card, the three leads getting their makeup fixed, Lily on a monitor, a color image of Herman, Lily, and The Count, a shot of Lester, another image of Igor, Uncle Gilbert, and even more.
