Director and screenwriter Rob Zombie is best known for his R-rated hardcore horror films, including House of 1000 corpses and The Devil’s Rejects. That’s why it’s so surprising that Zombie’s next movie is a PG-rated remake The Munsters, the classic 1964 TV sitcom created by Allan Burns and Chris Hayward. The original series was partially inspired by Universal’s monsters, with a family headed by Herman Munster (a Frankenstein’s Monster riff) and his wife Lily, a female vampire. However, in the new trailer below, Zombie sets the film before the events of the TV show. And fans will finally find out how Herman met Lily.
The Munsters | Official trailer | STACK
Since this is a prequel, there is no sign of Marilyn Munster, the only human and normal member of the family. Also absent is Eddie Munster, Herman and Lily’s werewolf son. The show never offered an explanation for Eddie’s wolf heritage. Lily seems to be too in love with Herman to have an affair, so maybe Herman is made of werewolf parts.
Speaking of which, the trailer introduces viewers to Herman’s creators while also establishing the fact that Lily’s father, the count/grandfather, was more than willing to make her a husband in his lab. But Herman and Lily only have eyes for each other. The trailer also features some very bad special effects, which seems like a deliberate move by Zombie.
