Rob Zombie Reveals The Munsters Logo In New Movie Set Image
Rob Zombie’s set image reveals the spooky logo for his new movie version of The Munsters. The classic-horror-inspired TV show The Munsters debuted on CBS in 1964 and ran for just two seasons.
The Munsters may have only produced 70 episodes in its original run but those episodes went on to be re-run over-and-over, allowing whole new generations of young horror fans to fall in love with the titular Munsters family, including Frankensteinian Herman (Fred Gwynne), vampire Lily (Yvonne De Carlo), aging Dracula Grandpa (Al Lewis) and werewolf son Eddie (Butch Patrick). And as it happened one of those young fans turned out to be future music star and film director Zombie, who will now resurrect the Munsters for a movie set to run theatrically and on Peacock. Jeff Daniel Phillips plays Herman in Zombie’s take, Sheri Moon Zombie is Lily and Dan Roebuck plays Grandpa.
Zombie’s latest dispatch from the set of The Munsters doesn’t fill in any information about other cast members or afford new glimpses of the actors already revealed. But it does give fans their first look at the movie’s logo as emblazoned across the back of Zombie’s director’s chair. See the image in the space below:

In addition to this new image, Zombie previously gave fans several updates on a key Munsters set, namely the family’s haunted residence on 1313 Mockingbird Lane. All of Zombie’s previous set photos were indeed in black-and-white, leading to speculation that the movie itself might eschew color – in keeping with classic Munsters and also the 1930s Universal horror films that inspired it. It would of course be a very gutsy move to do The Munsters in black-and-white, but if anyone has the love of old horror aesthetic necessary to pull that off, it’s Zombie. The director of course previously rebooted the Halloween franchise (to John Carpenter’s dismay) and also crafted his own original horror works like House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects and 3 From Hell.
Indeed it’s Zombie’s prior horror filmography that has many folks thinking he’s the right person to make a movie version of The Munsters, not just because of his feel for the spooky and weird, but because of his interest in exploring unconventional families. The Munsters are of course the original unconventional TV family, and in fact contrasting them against the “normal” people in the show’s universe was a big part of the series’ point. Zombie surely appreciates the juxtaposition of weird and normal that made for pointed comedy in the 1960s The Munsters show. And that same contrast will no doubt play a huge part in his movie take on the characters he loves. With possibly more edge.
