Rob Zombie has been teasing his take on The Munsters for over a year now.
Updates have been cryptic, at best, with Zombie pretending to be in production up until a few weeks ago and a trailer released just last week.
When the news of The Munsters originally leaked, it was confirmed to be a Universal Home Entertainment production with plans to release on the studio’s Peacock streaming service.
Bloody Disgusting exclusively reported back in May that the film had since been sold to Netflix and will premiere this coming fall.
Rob Zombie himself confirmed the news on IG, telling fans that they can head back to Mockingbird Lane this coming September on Netflix’s streaming service.
In the film…
“The strangest love story ever told: Herman and Lily’s crazy courtship takes The Munsters on a hauntingly hilarious trip from Transylvania to Hollywood in the all-new feature length film.”
Jeff Daniel Phillips is playing Herman Munster and Sheri Moon Zombie is playing Lily Munster with Daniel Roebuck co-starring as Grandpa Munster. Zombie has referred to the trio as his “Munster Squad”.
Richard Brake (31, 3 from Hell) is playing Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang. Catherine Schell (“Space: 1999,” The Return of the Pink Panther) is playing “Zoya Krupp the gypsy queen.”
Dee Wallace, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson and Jorge Garcia will also star, with original “The Munsters” actress Pat Priest also making an appearance in Zombie’s new movie.
If you want to revisit the original series, “The Munsters” is streaming on Peacock. That series ran for just two seasons between 1964 and 1966, spawning several feature films and a sequel television series titled “The Munsters Today” (1988 – 1991). Most recently, Bryan Fuller’s “Mockingbird Lane” reimagined the series for NBC, but never made it past a pilot episode.
