Iā€™m afraid to even think of what it might be like. And I love Rob.

I donā€™t particularly like Rob, but this is going to be so unbelievably fucked up that Iā€™ll probably have to watch it.

This makes about as much sense as Quentin Tarantino directing a Star Wars flick so maybe thatā€™ll happen in this crazy mixed up world we live in, too.

Some part of me knew one of Rob Zombieā€™s influences from when he was younger was The Munsters. I think he talked about it in an old interview, and he specifically mentioned the Munster Koach car, and Grandpa Munsterā€™s hot rod, were inspirations for Dragula. I just assumed that was as far as it went, but I guess he really loves The Munsters.

Edit: Now I just have images in my head of Rob Zombie excitedly using The Munsters DLC in Planet Coaster to make goofy rides.

I think heā€™ll be respectful. Unfortunately his movie track record isnā€™t great. Weā€™ll see!

I loved Hellbilly Deluxe but all of his movies seemed like basic splattercore to me, though I never watched them. Can he actually make a real movie-movie?

Now that Iā€™ve given it a bit of thought though, itā€™s a shame Sid Haig has passed. He would have made a hell of a Grandpa Munster.

Mel Brooks is still alive!

Sigh. Meet your new Munsters.

Of course, Sheri Moon Zombie is Lily.

Grandpa Munster looks like a blobfish.

haha, he does.

Original Season 2 intro:

So heā€™s doing a comedy film? Oh dear. I was hoping for a horror version of Munsters, and this is PG.

Yikes. This looks pathetic.

Just saw the actual trailer and came here to say it seemed like especially terrible. Almost couldnā€™t make it through the entire 2:30.

Wow that was really bad.

Why does it sound like the dialog was recorded in someoneā€™s bedroom?

Whoever the new actor playing Herman is , he is not filling the big shoes of Fred Gwynne at all.

That looks really, really, bad
