The official trailer for Rob Zombie's cinematic re-imagination of The Munsters has arrived! Zombie's take on the cult classic TV sitcom looks to replicate the kind of PG rated spooky fun that made the 1964 original so damn memorable. The first trailer takes us back to 1313 Mockingbird Lane in vivid style, giving us our first glimpse at the "strangest love story ever told", highlighting the romance between Jeff Daniel Phillips (Lords Of Salem, 3 From Hell) Herman Munster and Sheri Moon Zombie's as Lily Munster. The bright campy vibe might come as a bit of a surprise to fans of Rob Zombie's prior cineamtic works, but it appears to do exactly what he promised it would, bring The Munsters OG stylings to the big screen.
The Munsters will also star Dan Roebuck (The Fugitive, Final Destination) as Grandpa and feature some cameos from original cast members. The original TV sitcom version of The Munsters ran for two seasons in the mid-'60s but has established an incredibly strong cult following amongst later generations, with telemovie sequels, The Munsters Today TV series and a plethora of film and TV adaptations have been attempted since with ultimately none seeing public release (the closest to coming to fruition was Bryan Fuller's Mockingbird Lane pilot for NBC). Now finally it appears Rob Zombie was the man with the plan and the clout to finally make it happen as The Munsters will premiere on Peacock in September!
