As the release of Rob Zombie’s “The Munsters” movie nears, details around the film’s release seem to be getting fuzzier.
Initially rumored to be released on NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock, Zombie announced earlier this week that the film would find a streaming home at Netflix and premiere later this fall. However, Universal Pictures has since announced that Zombie’s take on “The Munsters” will also be yours to own as a Collector’s Edition on Digital, Blu-ray™, and DVD on September 27, 2022.
Rob Zombie digs up the origin story of everyone’s favorite monster family in the brand-new movie, “The Munsters,” a hilarious and heartfelt comedy about Lily and Herman’s courtship that is sure to surprise and delight fans of all ages.
Packed with zany humor, larger-than-life characters, and a groovy 60’s vibe, “The Munsters” Collector’s Edition is filled with over an hour of exclusive content, including unseen behind-the-scenes footage with writer and director Rob Zombie and cast as well as a feature commentary with Rob Zombie, taking viewers deeper into this hauntingly sidesplitting adventure and the kooky undead family, just in time for Halloween.
Featuring an incredible cast of familiar horror genre icons, the film stars Sheri Moon Zombie (“The Devil’s Rejects”) as Lily, Jeff Daniel Phillips (“3 From Hell”) as Herman Munster, and Daniel Roebuck (“The Fugitive”) as The Count alongside a multi-talented supporting cast including Richard Brake (“Batman Begins”), Jorge Garcia (“Lost”), Sylvester McCoy (“The Hobbit” franchise), Catherine Schell (“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”), Cassandra Peterson (“Elvira: Mistress of the Dark”), and Tomas Boykin (“I AM”) as well as special guest appearances by original “The Munsters” cast members Butch Patrick and Pat Priest!
From writer/director Rob Zombie comes the strangest love story ever told. Lily is just your typical 150-year-old, lovelorn vampire looking for the man of her nightmares . . . that is until she lays eyes on Herman, a seven-foot-tall, green experiment with a heart of gold. It’s love at first shock as these two ghouls fall fangs over feet in this crazy Transylvanian romance. Unfortunately, it’s not all smooth sailing in the cemetery as Lily’s father, The Count has other plans for his beloved daughter’s future, and they don’t involve her bumbling beau, Herman. You’ll laugh, cry, and howl at the moon as The Munsters make their way to Mockingbird Lane!
The Blu-ray edition of the film is available for pre-order now from Amazon.
