‘The Munsters’: Rob Zombie Introduces Herman, Lily, and the Count in Costume
The Munsters is an iconic American sitcom that continues to be referenced in current pop culture. Its success warranted a spinoff series and movies, although further revival attempts have failed. Musician and horror filmmaker Rob Zombie is trying his hand at bringing The Munsters back into the mainstream with a feature film of his own. He has been teasing sneak peeks on his Instagram, but has now given audiences a look at Herman, Lily, and the Count.
Rob Zombie is making ‘The Munsters’ his own
Zombie has directed many of his own music videos, but his film career truly launched with House of 1000 Corpses. The movie has generated a huge cult following that only increased with the sequel titled The Devil’s Rejects. He’s rather familiar with franchise revivals as he rebooted John Carpenter’s Halloween with two installments. Next, he’ll be tackling The Munsters.
Zombie is no stranger to the horror genre. Every aspect of his career lives in or flirts with the genre. However, The Munsters is a sitcom that just happens to be about a family of monsters. The set construction and the concept art that has been shown so far have fans excited for what’s to come next. Zombie is continuing to give his fans a look inside of what he has coming next.

The Munsters is currently set for a 2022 Fall release. It will be released day-and-date with its debut on the streaming service Peacock.

The Instagram posts have only offered hints at the atmosphere, but not how the story will be portrayed in the movie.
