While I would normally post this kind of a movie trailer post over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”, I decided to let it run on PiercingMetal based on the fact that its monster based, is a redo of a classic television show and oh yeah, it comes from the creative brain of one Rob Zombie. According to reports, the creeptastic performer was a huge fan of the original Horror Comedy and has added his revision of it to his box of films. Let’s take a look at the recently dropped trailer. I’ve also added a basic premise, some of the casting and some artwork. Enjoy.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: So this looks cute and is definitely done with a tongue in cheek model. I grew up on the reruns of the original show and remember loving it as a young kid. Since the program originally broadcast between 1964-1966, I would only have been one year old when it was in its final year. Trust me I made up for lost time since the reruns let us watch on a very consistent and regular basis. Well, that’s how I remember it at least. This redo seems a bit on the silly side but after the last couple of years in the world, perhaps a little silly is just what the doctor ordered. This will be premiering on Netflix in a couple of months and I am subscribing to that service so I’ll be able to watch it easily when time permits. Wrapping up I am curious as to what you out there in the readership think about it. You can chime in below in the comments to let me know what you have to say about it all. See you again soon.
