Is a 1966 American film based on the hit 1960s family television sitcom The Munsters. It was directed by Earl Bellamy, who also directed a number of episodes in the series. The film was produced immediately after the television series completed filming for its original run, and included the original cast with the exception of Marilyn, who was played by Debbie Watson. This film offered audiences an opportunity to see the Munsters in Technicolor rather than the black-and-white format of the television series, but was not a commercial success upon its original theatrical release.

A close-up of a bounced check in episode 44 reveals the family address and city, but no state. In 1990, Atari Corporation released Midnight Mutants for the Atari 7800, featuring Al Lewis' likeness in his Grampa Munster character on the box art and label art. However, since Atari did not sign an agreement with Universal, they could not call him "Grampa Munster"; he was simply called "Grampa". Between 2004 and 2008, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released the entire series on DVD in Regions 1 & 2.
A television film titled Here Come the Munsters aired in 1995, and The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas was released in 1996. A feature film titled The Munsters released on September 22, 2022. The show was produced by Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, who were already known for creating the Leave It to Beaver television series.

All the original cast except one make it much better than it should be, the story is OK, basic, and the look is alright, again, not as cool as the series. It should have been done better really, a missed chance, needed more ghouls and spookyness and preferably in the Munster house. Later, Herman enters a race, driving Grandpa's custom dragster, the "DRAG-U-LA". Grace and Freddie plot to kill Herman to stop him from winning the race; thanks to the Gryphon posing as Roger, but with Lily's help, he wins. The British Munsters and their butler, Cruikshank including his daughter, Millie the barmaid revealed to be the Gryphon, are all exposed and apprehended by the police authorities.
The film was produced immediately after the television series completed filming its original run; it included the original cast with the exception of Marilyn, who was played by Debbie Watson replacing Pat Priest from the series. The pilot title sequence had light, happy music borrowed from the Doris Day movie The Thrill of It All instead of the instrumental rock theme. It was also decided that Joan Marshall looked too much like Morticia Addams and that Happy Derman was too nasty as Eddie, so both were replaced. On the basis of the first presentation, the new series, still not completely cast, was announced by CBS on February 18, 1964.
Critic Reviews for Munster, Go Home
CBS liked both De Carlo and Patrick, but ordered a fourth pilot where Eddie was less spoiled. Produced by the creators of Leave It to Beaver, the series was a satire of American suburban life, the wholesome TV family fare of the era, and traditional monster movies. It achieved higher Nielsen ratings than the similarly macabre-themed The Addams Family, which aired concurrently on ABC. Munster, Go Home is a 1966 Universal film based on the TV show The Munsters. Unlike the black and white Munsters TV show, Munster Go Home was in color. Released shortly after “The Munsters” aired its final episode, the 1966 feature film Munster, Go Home!
Cousin Grace and Cousin Freddie are furious that the American Munsters are getting the house, and that Herman will be Lord Munster instead of Freddie. Grace and Freddie, with the help of Lady Effigie try to get rid of the Munsters, so the estate can be theirs. The American Munster couple feels right at home when Herman's relatives try to scare them. Freddie disguises himself as a ghost, but screams and runs away when he encounters Herman. Grandpa sneak out of bed to find out the secret of Munster Hall. They find out a counterfeiting operation is at work in the basement.
Lady Effigie is sent to Shroudshire's police station with her butler by Lily and Eddie . Herman and his family donate the land and Munster Hall to the city for historic preservation. Worth area is expected to see two to three days of temperatures below freezing, including Christmas Eve, with bitterly cold wind chills during the period. About 55 million people in the Lower 48 states are expected to see temperatures hit 0°F or below during the next seven days, per NWS forecasts. A reboot from Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller, was developed for NBC. The show was to be a reboot as a one-hour drama with "spectacular visuals".
It's a shame, because he was never better than in this lightweight role of goofy old Herman. This film appeared at the height of the Swinging London movement of the mid-Sixties, when even Batman made a televised visit to Britain. A cross section of British funnymen came aboard to welcome America's improbably sweet family of ghouls to the old country. (And never mind that the name "Munster" is Irish and not English).
Brought the beloved family back to the screen in vibrant Technicolor. Bonus features will include a brand new commentary track featuring star Butch Patrick and hardcore “The Munsters” fan Rob Zombie! Over the course of season one, the makeup for Herman, Lily, and Grandpa was adjusted. Lily's hair originally had a large white streak, which was reduced in later episodes. Her necklace featured a bat instead of a star, and her eyebrows were angled more.
They featured the "DRAG-U-LA" custom dragster designed by famous auto customizer George Barris. Atlanta is forecast to have its coldest day on Christmas Eve, when a low of 12°F is forecast. In Denver, Wednesday's high is forecast to be near 41°F, with a low of minus-12°F.
I saw this film in the theater during its first run and continue to enjoy it on its occasional TV appearances. Often these are during the run-up to Halloween, when "Munster Go Home" acts as an antidote to the depressing run of horror films. Fred Gwynne never looked back after making this final appearance as Frankenstein's monster, so bitter was he at the lingering pain performing the role caused him.
The series entered syndication on local stations after its original run. In the 1990s it aired on Nick at Nite and on TV Land from 2000 to 2008. In October 2011, the series was picked up by Cartoon Network's sister channel Boomerang and ran through the entire month of October that year for Halloween alongside The Addams Family. The interiors of the Munsters' mansion were filmed on Stages 30 and 32 at Universal Studios. (When Lily "dusted" the house, her Electrolux emitted clouds of dust, which she applied to surfaces most people would clean).
The reason Pat Priest was not used in this film was that "Universal" wanted to build up the career of Debbie Watson. Priest was over 30 at the time though Marilyn was obviously college age. In the film, the character was made to be only 17, another reason they cast the younger Watson. This not only devastated Priest, it also angered most of the fans. In Chicago, temperatures are set to drop there to 23°F on Tuesday and the city could see a low of -1°F on Christmas Day. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said in a statement that the grid operator "expects sufficient generation to meet forecasted demand" in the state after working with the Public Utility Commission to "implement reforms."
Some 33 million people are under winter storm watches and another 27 million others under wind chill alerts ahead of an Arctic outbreak and a related major storm sweeping the country this week.
