The first trailer is out:



Sherri Moon. Still would.

I'm looking forward to it.... Apprehensively
I'm one of the people that haven't really liked his films. But I grew up on Munsters reruns as kid and have fond memories.

I have similarly not enjoyed his films but this just be virtue of being PG inherently precludes a lot of the stuff that I found so obnoxious.

looking forward to checking it out, anyway.

This is either going to be amazing, or the reason Rob Zombie gets capital punishment.

Huge horror fan, but I’m not too keen on his films. I’ll give it a try. EDIT oh goody his wife, again.

 

[ArtDecade]

I like Rob's movies. They are cut from the mold of the 70s and 80s late night slasher flicks that I've always dug growing up. I am stoked to see what he will do with The Munsters especially giving the rating.

Herman's goofy post-door-smash face is a little *too* goofy. Herman was more a quasi-expressionist, not an over-the-top dude at all. Grandpa's mustache annoys the fuck out of me for some reason. And Rob's wife annoys me by her mere presence.

Yup. Looks like a Hollywood modern day remake of a classic.

I'll watch it. I mean, I'm sure there's enough edibles in the world somewhere to make it tolerable.

On the bright side, every time I hear any version of that theme I remember Believer busting it out mid-song while I was in the pit, so, ya know, nostalgia pangs.

I loved the Munsters as a kid. I've enjoyed a few of Zombie's films. From the look of it, I'm probably going to end up loathing this if I watch it. I hope I'm either wrong or never find out.

Cassandra Petersen as not-Elvira does get my attention, though. But seeing anyone other than Fred Gwynne as Herman is probably going to just piss me off. He was so iconic in all four of the roles for which I remember him: Officer Muldoon, Herman Munster, Judge Haller, and Jud from Pet Cemetery. Literally some pretty big shoes to fill.

good point

Trailer is out, this looks cringey as fuck

 

[nightflameauto]

The various trailers I've seen past the teaser all look like shitfests. The Munsters were funny because they played most things so straight. This is cartoon-cringe at its worst.

I didn't have high expectations considering who's in charge, but I expected something better than this. If you can't even get a trailer that doesn't suck the life out of the room? Fail.

Yep that's pretty corny looking, too bad. The original was always super entertaining, I loved watching reruns of that and the Addams Family as a kid.

 

[ArtDecade]

Was this entire movie filmed against a green screen?

 

[Dumple Stilzkin]

Looks like shit, and the Herman is not a good choice. But I’ll still watch an episode before I make up my mind.

 

[spudmunkey]

Why does Herman Munster sound like Ed Grimley?

This is what I hate about movies these days is that it’s all green screens… and it just put you in this I’ve been here before situation where your like I have already seen this. So I just can’t do movies anymore the only movies I watch her stuff from the 90s
