BREAKING NEWS! UNIVERSAL TO RELEASE TWO MUNSTERS MOVIES! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced "The Munsters: Two-Movie Fright Fest," a single-disc release that contains "Munster, Go Home!" and "The Munsters' Revenge."

"Munster, Go Home!" (1966) was the theatrical movie created after the series ended, and featured most of the original cast; Debbie Watson took over the role of Marilyn Munster from Pat Priest. "The Munsters Revenge" aired on TV in 1981 with K.C. Martel playing Eddie Munster, and Jo McDonnell as Marilyn Munster.

Each movie will run for 96 mins, and the single-disc will be packaged in a snap case with a cardboard sleeve. The suggested retail price for the set is $19.98 when it's released on September 26. We'll post artwork whens it's available.

I can't wait for these two gems to be released onto DVD. Hopefully the '90s Munsters movies will follow.

Hmm ... I already have both on DVD. Professionally done, too ... I found em at Best Buy and Wal-Mart a few years back.

But good news anyway, I guess.

yeah, both were out a few years ago. I never got Revenge but I taped Munster Go Home off of AMC

Hopefully, the Universal transfer will be higher quality than the Good Times transfer of a few years ago.

My best,

... good news. I suppose that Universal did well with S2 to release these. Munsters in general is doing well... Image is releasing that FIRST FAMILY OF FRIGHT DVD after all these years in October, as well.

I never forgave them for replacing Pat Priest...and still don't. I hope the movie transfer is of a high quality.

I too have both movies already, hopefully they release the two other Munsters movies. Here Come The Munsters and The Munsters Scary Christmas. I still need to get The First Family of Fright.

I really want "Here Come the Munsters" as well. Weren't all of those movies made by Universal?

The two movie package will be widescreen!

The Amazon listing.

My best,

Excellent! It'll be great to see more of the 1313 set in color, since they sadly spend so little time there.

hmm not that I was expecting them, but I was hoping there would be trailers or something.

dirtprod · 07-14-2006, 06:48 PM

Look at the way they colored the MGH picture. I have that shot in color and Herman was NOT green. That would be my fear if they were to ever colorize the episodes. They'd be all wrong...

I have both on DVD, but will get it to see MGH in widescreen again!

My best,
Dirt

That would be a very nice design if it didn't have that big, plastic-like spider web on the front.
