VIDEO The trailer for The Munsters hasn’t even come out yet, and fans of the original series are rushing to “get down” with Rob Zombie

The trailer for Rob Zombie’s The Munsters was recently released, and some fans of the classic series seem to be less than convinced that the upcoming series will be what it should be.

Scheduled for a September 2022 release, the film is intended to be a prequel of sorts, but also a revival of the 1960s TV series of the same name, which ran for two seasons.

Rob Zombie’s new series follows the origin story of Herman and Lily Munster, as well as their ongoing love story. In the reboot, Sheri Moon Zombie stars as Lily, while Jeff Daniel Phillips can be seen as Herman. What’s more, Daniel Roebuck stars as the grandfather.

Rob Zombie has already made a name for himself in the horror film world, most notably for the Firefly trilogy and the 2007 reboot of Halloween. Despite the fact that Zombie and his wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, are big fans of the original The Munsters TV series, fans immediately expressed concern when they heard about Rob’s new idea, since the director already has a few flops under his belt.

However, when Zombie officially released the trailer for The Munsters, fan reactions were quick to follow, many of them met with skepticism. Fans of the original series alike have expressed concern about the style and direction The Munsters reboot seems to be taking, stating that the film seems made “cheap and even a parody of the source material.

On the other hand, Zombie continues to maintain that The Munsters is one of his pet projects, insinuating that it would be one of his masterpieces.

Naturally, we’re about to find out who’s right, come September.
