I saw this film in the theater during its first run and continue to enjoy it on its occasional TV appearances. Often these are during the run-up to Halloween, when "Munster Go Home" acts as an antidote to the depressing run of horror films. Fred Gwynne never looked back after making this final appearance as Frankenstein's monster, so bitter was he at the lingering pain performing the role caused him.
In 1964 a live-action pilot titled "My Fair Munster" was filmed in color by MCA Television for CBS. Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis were the first to be cast early in February 1964. Beverly Owen was signed to play Marilyn; Joan Marshall was cast as Herman's wife, "Phoebe"; and "Happy" Nate Derman was cast as Eddie. A second pilot was ordered in April 1964 with Yvonne De Carlo replacing Marshall, and the character renamed "Lilly". For a third pilot, "Happy" Nate Derman was replaced by Butch Patrick.
Full Cast & Crew
The series entered syndication on local stations after its original run. In the 1990s it aired on Nick at Nite and on TV Land from 2000 to 2008. In October 2011, the series was picked up by Cartoon Network's sister channel Boomerang and ran through the entire month of October that year for Halloween alongside The Addams Family. The interiors of the Munsters' mansion were filmed on Stages 30 and 32 at Universal Studios. (When Lily "dusted" the house, her Electrolux emitted clouds of dust, which she applied to surfaces most people would clean).
Is a 1966 American film based on the hit 1960s family television sitcom The Munsters. It was directed by Earl Bellamy, who also directed a number of episodes in the series. The film was produced immediately after the television series completed filming for its original run, and included the original cast with the exception of Marilyn, who was played by Debbie Watson. This film offered audiences an opportunity to see the Munsters in Technicolor rather than the black-and-white format of the television series, but was not a commercial success upon its original theatrical release.

NBC ordered a pilot episode, and announced in January 2012 that it would be called Mockingbird Lane, a reference to the Munster's address. NBC ultimately canceled plans for Mockingbird Lane to be produced as a weekly series, but later announced the pilot episode would air in late October 2012 as a Halloween special. The series failed to be picked up by NBC due to disagreements on the dark nature and inconsistent tone. In the fourth episode ("Rock-A-Bye Munster"), Lily buys a hot-rod and a hearse from a used car dealership and has them customized into one car for Herman's birthday present.
The reason Pat Priest was not used in this film was that "Universal" wanted to build up the career of Debbie Watson. Priest was over 30 at the time though Marilyn was obviously college age. In the film, the character was made to be only 17, another reason they cast the younger Watson. This not only devastated Priest, it also angered most of the fans. In Chicago, temperatures are set to drop there to 23°F on Tuesday and the city could see a low of -1°F on Christmas Day. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said in a statement that the grid operator "expects sufficient generation to meet forecasted demand" in the state after working with the Public Utility Commission to "implement reforms."

They featured the "DRAG-U-LA" custom dragster designed by famous auto customizer George Barris. Atlanta is forecast to have its coldest day on Christmas Eve, when a low of 12°F is forecast. In Denver, Wednesday's high is forecast to be near 41°F, with a low of minus-12°F.
Cousin Grace and Cousin Freddie are furious that the American Munsters are getting the house, and that Herman will be Lord Munster instead of Freddie. Grace and Freddie, with the help of Lady Effigie try to get rid of the Munsters, so the estate can be theirs. The American Munster couple feels right at home when Herman's relatives try to scare them. Freddie disguises himself as a ghost, but screams and runs away when he encounters Herman. Grandpa sneak out of bed to find out the secret of Munster Hall. They find out a counterfeiting operation is at work in the basement.
Brought the beloved family back to the screen in vibrant Technicolor. Bonus features will include a brand new commentary track featuring star Butch Patrick and hardcore “The Munsters” fan Rob Zombie! Over the course of season one, the makeup for Herman, Lily, and Grandpa was adjusted. Lily's hair originally had a large white streak, which was reduced in later episodes. Her necklace featured a bat instead of a star, and her eyebrows were angled more.
However, this was not a problem at Gold Key, because Gold Key was not a member of the Comics Magazine Association of America and therefore did not have to conform to the Comics Code. In August 2017, it was announced that Seth Meyers was developing a modern-day interpretation of the series for NBC. The show would place the Munsters in Brooklyn, New York, where they try to fit in as an ordinary family.
Grandpa's make-up was exaggerated, including heavier eyebrows, and Herman's face was widened for a dopier and less human appearance. Gwynne also added a stutter whenever Herman was angry or wanted to make a point, and he frequently left his mouth open, adding to the effect of a goofy, less frightening, figure. This movie offers audiences an opportunity to see the Munsters in Technicolor rather than the black-and-white format of "Die Munsters ," but it was not a commercial success upon its theatrical release.
Lady Effigie is sent to Shroudshire's police station with her butler by Lily and Eddie . Herman and his family donate the land and Munster Hall to the city for historic preservation. Worth area is expected to see two to three days of temperatures below freezing, including Christmas Eve, with bitterly cold wind chills during the period. About 55 million people in the Lower 48 states are expected to see temperatures hit 0°F or below during the next seven days, per NWS forecasts. A reboot from Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller, was developed for NBC. The show was to be a reboot as a one-hour drama with "spectacular visuals".
