If you’re a fan of horror movies, you should definitely be aware of the latest news concerning the Munsters. In fact, if you’re in the US, you can already stream the movie from Netflix, and now there are reports that the Munsters are set to make a return.
Sheri Moon Zombie has been cast as Lily Munster
The Munsters is a 2022 American horror comedy film written and directed by Rob Zombie. It’s a reboot of the 1960s family sitcom. It’s also a prequel to the series.
The new film centers on the origins of the spooky family. The movie will release in theaters and on VOD in September. In the new version, a werewolf called Lester is introduced to the Munsters. Then, the family goes to live TV to see “Good Morning Transylvania.”
While it’s not an exact re-telling of the original show, it’s a love letter to it. In fact, the new film features some of the original cast members.
The cast includes Catherine Schell as Zoya Krupp, the gypsy queen. She plays a character similar to the Dracula’s Daughter from the original series. Other cast members include Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman Munster, Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa Munster, and Cassandra Peterson as Elvira, the mistress of the dark.
The movie will also feature Dee Wallace as the voice of Good Morning Transylvania. In addition to being an actor, Wallace played a character named Bill Moseley in the Firefly trilogy.
Rob Zombie is co-headlining US tour with Mudvayne
The mighty Mudvayne will be making their first live appearances in more than a decade on a tour with Rob Zombie, Static-X and the mighty Powerman 5000. The band is kicking off the Freaks on Parade tour in Maryland Heights, Missouri and it will continue through The Woodlands, Texas.
The tour will make 21 stops across the U.S., including stops in California, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. The tour will also have a few other surprises. This is one of the first tours that Mudvayne has done since reuniting with vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist John 5.
The tour will also have the aforementioned foxy feces and booze, as well as a bunch of the other usual suspects. The tour is a collaboration between Live Nation, Rob Zombie’s management company and his label, Monster Records. The tour will also feature Rob Zombie’s other projects like The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy and The Munsters, as well as a few other surprise guest performances.
Here Come the Munsters was first bonafide horror
Rob Zombie’s latest film is a reboot of the 1960s family sitcom of the same name. It is also a spinoff of the “Halloween” juggernaut, and features a plethora of the dead.
In a nutshell, it’s a reimagining of the classic series, albeit with a bit of a revamped production design and a bit more cash. At the center of it all is the one and only Herman Munster, played by Jeff Daniel Phillips. The rest of the cast includes Dee Wallace, Richard Brake, and the ubiquitous Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa.
The biggest kudos goes to Rob Zombie, who produced and wrote the film. In addition to a revolving door of stars, the cast includes a number of notable names in the horror genre, namely Sylvester McCoy, Cassandra Petersen, and Daniel Roebuck. And it’s all for a price: The Munsters is a $30 million, two-hour affair, according to Variety. It will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on September 27, 2022. It may also find a home on the streaming service Peacock next year.
