Can you guess who this is? It’s Cassandra Peterson, AKA Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark. Her surprise appearance in the upcoming Munsters flick became even more surprising when we found out she’ll play the part of a normal person – a real estate agent! Peterson recently told Variety:

“Here, I am playing this character that’s so so different from what I normally do, I’m playing a super straight character. Barbara is a normal woman, this real estate agent. It was exciting and terrifying, but it was really cool.”

Rob Zombie says The Munsters reboot will be rated PG. March 10, 2022

It’s a bit of a surprise to use but certainly not a disappointment – according to Rob Zombie, the Munsters reboot will be rated PG. The rating makes sense given that “The Munsters” is based on the family-oriented sitcom. Still, many fans speculated the “Munsters” reboot would have a darker tone given the involvement of Zombie. When announcing the PG rating, Zombie said:

“For those of you speculating, wondering and assuming that ‘The Munsters’ would be dirty, violent and nasty…well, you are wrong. It’s all good down on Mockingbird Lane.”

New Munsters special effects hint movie may be darker than we thought. August 17, 2021

Rob Zombie posted new pictures on Instagram today showing some of the special effects prosthetics and masks that will be used in the upcoming Munsters movie. We have to say, these are a lot scarier than we thought and hint that The Munsters may have a true horror element to it.

Rob Zombie leaked a few more looks at costumes and prosthetics via Instagram today with this message:

“Things are really heating up in the wardrobe department here in Budapest. Here are a few quick glimpses.”

The spiderweb design looks like something Lily would wear and the ruffled cape on the hanger looks close to previously released design sketches for Lily. The cape of course, looks vampirish (aka Grandpa Munster). And finally, we get a first look at Herman Munster’s head appliance, fresh out of the mold and ready to be painted.

Zombie writes,

“The blueprints are done! Time to start the construction. Get ready for the most perfect Munsters house since 1964. I want this thing exact.”

The Munsters house used in the 1964-66 series, located at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, is an exterior set at Universal Studios, but has since been remodeled several times for use in other productions, including “Murder, She Wrote,” “Desperate Housewives” and “Everybody Loves Raymond.”

Zombie dropped what we must assume is a first look at The Munsters project. The picture is of the Munster’s mansion on the Universal lot. The house has been remodeled several times for other movies and has lost much of its original “scary” charm.
