If you’ve ever wanted to see what a bloody, gory Munsters show looks like, this might be your opportunity. The musician and auteur has teamed up with NBCUniversal streaming service Peacock to reboot this spooky, charming classic. The remake is rumored to be hitting theaters and Peacock at the same time. No word just yet in a release date but we do know filming will start in May. According to Murphy’s Universe, “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. The cast of Zombie’s Munsters will also reportedly include Dan Roebuck, Jorge Garcia and Richard Brake. Not to mention, Cassandra Peterson, known to horror buffs as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, will also play a supporting role.”. Since many of Zombie’s films feature intense horror scenes it will definitely be interesting to see how he turns this family friendly TV series into something of his own. Can’t wait!
