Rob Zombie is taking on the reboot movie of the classic The Munsters series, already giving glimpses into the adaptation with behind-the-scenes images and teases. After several attempted television reboots and movie sequels over the years, most recently being the 2012 dark reimagining Mockingbird Lane pilot starring Jerry O’Connell, The Munsters is finally coming back to the screen in a film adaptation by Halloween (2007) director Rob Zombie. The Munsters is currently in pre-production with little details of the upcoming picture that will reportedly be released through NCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service.

Although some have had their doubts of Rob Zombie helming the classic monster family, the several glimpses he’s given of his approach suggest he’ll be staying true to the original sentiment of the 1960s Munsters. Zombie’s take on The Munsters seems to be returning to the nostalgic magic of the original while implementing certain modern twists and personal Rob Zombie touches. So far, Zombie’s clues of his new adaptation seem to be capturing a similar sentimental modernization that Barry Sonnenfeld’s 1990s The Addams Family movies successfully encapsulated in adapting the 1960s series of the same name.

While the larger details of Zombie’s Munsters reboot such as the full cast (aside from his wife Sheri Moon Zombie already confirmed to play Lily Munster) and plot synopsis have been kept in the dark, his subtle reveals allow audiences to see the underlying evocative approach the Halloween director will take. Here are all of the images and teases that Rob Zombie has revealed for The Munsters reboot so far and what they mean for his adaptation.

Practical Effects Monsters

One of Rob Zombie’s best looks into The Munsters reboot is an image of the practical effects that will be used in crafting the actors into monsters. While this detail may seem minor, it’s truly evocative of the types of practices used for special effects back in the original series, meaning The Munsters will have a more classic horror feel. Most horror directors today choose to use CGI in crafting monsters, but Zombie is using the original, less enhanced form of transformation that will put audiences into the more natural mindset of the original series. Using CGI would likely be far too modern for trying to evoke the simplicity of the 1960s Munsters series, so going with practical effects is a step in the right direction for Rob Zombie’s adaptation.

Mockingbird Lane Set

One of Zombie’s earlier teases into The Munsters pre-production was the set design for Mockingbird Lane, which seems to be working its way up the spooky house of the original series. So far as Zombie has posted, the set is only wood planks and a paved street, but the sheer size of the property suggests the Munster family will be attracting attention from their populous community. It also appears the Munster family will be living in a similar suburban neighborhood to the original series, with Zombie’s Mockingbird Lane images appearing to show multiple homes being built on the street. The images of the Munsters living in another idyllic American suburb (although filmed in Budapest) also suggest the family will come into contact with some comically terrified neighbors, which would successfully emanate the happily outcasted sentiment of the original series.

Munster Family Costumes

So far, Rob Zombie has revealed a few costume designs that reflect the classic outfits of The Munsters’ original series. One such costume is Grandpa’s classic vampire cape, which is so perfectly designed that it appears to have just been taken out of the 1960s show’s wardrobe collection and given a deep clean. Zombie also shares a picture of a coat with a darker, metal skeletal bat that infuses his own style with the ‘60s design – letting audiences know that while staying true to the original show, this is still a Rob Zombie movie. Another subtle costume piece revealed is a spider-web mesh cardigan that will likely be a part of a Lily Munster ensemble costume. Similar to the Grandpa cape, Lily’s spider cardigan captures the simple macabre of the classic Munsters series while adapting to Zombie’s personal taste.

Grandpa’s Wig

With a captain suggesting the obvious character whose wig it could be, Rob Zombie gives a look at how the new hairdos for The Munsters are coming together. So far, Grandpa, whose real name is Sam Dracula, seems to be getting the same look as his 1960s counterpart, though with a little more volume than the original slick-back style. The gray on the side, black on the top style will evoke the Al Lewis Grandpa look, and audiences are eagerly awaiting the announcement of who will take on the lovable Grandpa role as the father to Sheri Moon Zombie’s Lily Munster. Similarly, Zombie shared a sneak peek of the Herman Munster flat-head caps that perfectly reflect the Frankenstein’s monster character design from the original series.

Mockingbird Lane House Blueprint

Although Rob Zombie hasn’t yet posted pictures of the fully built mansion, he has given a few peeks into the blueprints of the Munsters’ Mockingbird Lane home. Zombie’s design shows just how clearly the new movie will replicate the spooky house of the original, even calling it “the most perfect Munsters house since 1964.” The Munsters is absolutely a passion project for the horror director, so getting the feel of the original back is key to its success, and what better way to capture the basic original dynamic than the same house layout?

Herman and Lily’s Pajama Costumes

The nightgowns of Herman and Lily Munster bring audiences right back to a classic, simpler timeframe for the series. Rob Zombie’s version of The Munsters characters won’t be wearing extravagant silks or extra spooky pajamas, they’ll be sleeping in the same simple macabre gowns one would’ve expected to see in the original series. Herman will have a sleeping cap and classic Scrooge-like nightgown accentuated with skeleton buttons and accessories while wearing simple black platform slippers. Lily Munster will have an elegant all-black spiderweb embroidered robe with tattered edges and a purple underdress accentuated with a vampire bat design. If anything, Zombie’s glimpses of the costume design suggest he’ll be putting audiences back into a colorized, slightly metal version of the 1960s The Munsters series.
