EXCLUSIVE: Rob Zombie Set to Helm THE MUNSTERS Film for Universal
by Charles Murphy
March 10, 2021

Rock icon and horror director Rob Zombie has been tapped to bring the classic sitcom family, "The Munsters", to the big screen. Zombie, who has directed over a half dozen horror films over the past 15 years or so, including a pair of Halloween films and his Firefly series, also wrote the screenplay for Universal.

Zombie has professed his love for the original series many times over the years, claiming to have seen each episode “at least 17 times.” In fact, he recently joined "The Munsters" star Butch Patrick for a commentary track on the film Munster, Go Home!, released on Blu-ray by Shout! Factory last year.

Production on the film is currently set to begin in Budapest in early May.

Two of Zombie’s usual suspects have been cast as leads in the comedy with Jeff Daniel Phillips set as Herman Munster and Zombie’s wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, set as Lily Munster. Dan Roebuck, Jorge Garcia and Richard Brake have also joined the cast in major roles and Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, has also joined on in a supporting role.

No release date has been set at this time.

Couldn't be worse than the last version (Mockingbird Lane) -- but then again...

Hope Butch is used as a consultant.
