Monster mash like it’s the 1960s this fall on Netflix. Today director Rob Zombie announced on social media his upcoming feature The Munsters will stream on the platform.
Previously, it was unknown where and how Zombie’s take on the classic spooky sitcom would debut (theatrical or streaming). But the filmmaker’s Instagram post revealed the prequel/reimagining will premiere on Netflix. He paired The Munsters poster with one for the streamer’s upcoming Wednesday series, which follows the daughter in The Addams Family.
“This fall we are gonna spook-out like it’s 1964!,” reads Zombie’s post. “Yep, THE MUNSTERS and THE ADDAMS FAMILY are returning to the boob tube at the same time courtesy of @netflix It’s been 58 years since this clash of the titans first happened. Perfect entertainment for your pumpkin carving party.”
Zombie’s Munsters film stars Jeff Daniel Phillips, Sheri Moon Zombie, Daniel Roebuck, Richard Brake, and Catherine Schell. The feature recently released its first full trailer – to mixed critical and audience responses.
The Munsters doesn’t have a specific release date yet. However, given its spooky material, it seems likely the film will land on Netflix in September or October.
