A Munsters TV show has been in development for a long time. It is finally due to begin filming next February and Bryan Singer is directing the pilot.
For those of you wondering how an updated version of the original TV show would fit in today’s schedule have no fear. This is not the remake you thought it would be.
Bloody Disgusting had the following news about the serie.
The show will focus on 10-year-old Eddie Munster who is unaware that he’s a werewolf, and that his family is composed of terrifying creatures. The madness begins when a baby bear attacks a scouting trip, only it turns out that this “bear” is actually Eddie transformed into a werewolf. Eddie is unaware of his metamorphosis and it forces the family to move in order to protect the family secret. The coming of age story gets weirder as he fights against his family when he learns of a shocker: they’re a family of flesh-eaters!
A few other random character notes: Lily Munster has an eating disorder and eats suicide victims. Grandpa Munster is a 600-year-old shapeshifter, and Marilyn Munster was adopted when her mother tried to eat her as a baby.
That is either the coolest or cheesiest idea for a TV show I have ever heard. I do like the fact Eddie Munster will be 10 years old and for some reason I am reminded of Eerie Indiana.
I will at least give the pilot a watch when it is completed.
How do you feel about the new Munsters?
