We got our first look at writer-director Rob Zombie’s cinematic take on The Munsters and so far so good. Leaning heavily on nostalgia, the teaser mimics the opening of the classic television show right down to the black and white photography and a playful parade of loveable monsters. Jeff Daniel Phillips first comes on screen as Herman Munster, followed by Sheri Moon Zombie as Lillian Munster. Last but not least is Grandpa Munster played by Daniel Roebuck.
