"Wacky monster fans unite!" Rob Zombie has announced that his movie reboot of The Munsters will premiere on Netflix this September.
The Munsters will be released by Universal 1440 Entertainment, which is the direct-to-video entertainment label of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, but rather than debuting on Universal's streaming service Peacock, Zombie has confirmed that the mansion at Mockingbird Lane will open its doors to Netflix subscribers this September.
"This fall we are gonna spook-out like it's 1964!" Zombie declared on his most recent Instagram 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 reboot is debuting alongside Tim Burton's creepy and altogether kooky Addams Family spin-off Wednesday, which stars Jenna Ortega in the title role. This series was first announced in February last year, but Netflix has said very little since outside of the slow but sure revealings of cast members and a 30-second character teaser.
Meanwhile, The Munsters received its first full-length trailer last week. It arrived only a few days after the teaser and gave viewers the best look yet at Zombie's upcoming movie, which follows Sheri Moon Zombie's Lily, Jeff Daniel Phillips' Herman, and Daniel Roebuck's The Count on a "hauntingly hilarious trip from Transylvania to Hollywood."
They will be joined by Richard Brake as Transylvania's most popular Mad Scientist, Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang, Jorge Garcia as Floop, Sylvester McCoy as Igor, Catherine Schell as Zoya Krupp, and Cassandra Peterson as Barbara Carr, a pink plaid suit-wearing real estate agent who appears to be quite a contrast to her signature Elvira persona.
Rumors of The Munsters reboot were floating around for a while before confirmation arrived last year that Zombie would be making a modern adaptation of the TV classic. Ever since then, he has been sharing behind-the-scenes photos on social media, including costume concept designs for the main characters and a snap of the Mockingbird Lane mansion.
