It was back in July when I decided to share the Official Trailer for the reboot of “The Munsters” television series which is now a comedy film by the one and only Rob Zombie. If you didn’t see that trailer post just click the hyperlinked text to launch that one quick and easy. The film will be available for streaming on the Netflix service at the time of this post being published and to keep these posts a bit more comprehensive I’ve included the Official poster, premise and casting for good measure.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Now I remember pointing out that I thought the trailer looked cute and fun, albeit a little bit too slapstick at times but maybe that was what the original series was all about as well. Truth be told I’ve not watched an episode of “The Munsters” for years and I don’t think its available on any of the streaming networks that I currently subscribe to. That being said, I do hold that series in high-esteem so will be a tad more critical as opposed to just sitting down and letting the silly overwhelm me. While it is premiering on Netflix I have a boatload of to do agenda items to keep up with and follow through on so will not be committing to watching this early in its premiere time or even right away.
