Rob Zombie has continued to keep fans updated on the progress of his reboot of “The Munsters.” Recently, the original Eddie Munster, Butch Patrick, also shared new details on the movie’s length in an interview with the 20TIMinutes podcast. “This movie is going to kill in a really good way. It’s a very long movie, it’s like 2 hours and 38 minutes … but I’ve seen footage and I’ve seen where he’s going with it and it’s going to be great, it really is.”
The PG-rated film appears to be winding down production and is on target for a fall release. Earlier this week, Zombie revealed a detailed look at Herman Munster, played by Jeff Daniel Phillips. In an Instagram post with multiple slides, Zombie wrote: “Many of you have been commenting on Herman’s excellent makeup and asking how can I do this for my next cosplay? Well, here are the true Hollywood secrets! Now you can be a real deal Herman!” Zombie included what fans would need to make their own “Herman” look for a cosplay or Halloween costume. The list reads:
– 1 brown paper bag that fits snugly over your head
– Scissors
– Roll of masking tape
– Cotton batting
– Paper towels
– Cardboard
– White glue like Elmer’s
– Inexpensive paint brushes
– Black crepe hair or yarn
– 2 small “L”-shaped metal brackets
– Your choice of painted scars
– Crayon or marking pencil
– Green or gray non-toxic washable poster (tempera) paint
Artistic renderings are included offering steps to create the look before the final reveal of Herman Munster in the upcoming film. Phillips commented on the post saying: “Man oh man I spent days up to my elbows in paper mache trying to recreate this headpiece as a kid-luckily we had an amazingly talented fx team making the magic on this film.” Zombie also posted behind the scenes footage including the makeup team tending to Lily and Herman Munster between takes. Zombie also posted a look at Mr. Goodbury, played by Roderick Hill and Mr. Graves, played by Mark Griffith. “Well, you can’t expect Mr. Gateman to run the funeral parlor by himself,” Zombie wrote. “I give you his partners in the business of death… MR. GOODBURY played by Roderick Hill and MR. GRAVES played by Mark Griffith.”
Earlier this year, Zombie announced that legendary horror actress Cassandra Peterson, best known as “Elvira Mistress of the Dark,” had been cast in the film as real estate agent Barbara Carr. He also announced that Jorge Garcia, most well known for playing Hugo Reyes in the ABC drama series, “Lost,” would star as Floop, Dr. Wolfgang’s assistant and Herman Munster’s best friend. Dee Wallace is also part of the cast starring as the host of “Good Morning Transylvania.” Zombie announced earlier this week that Pat Priest will star as Marilyn Munster. Priest portrayed Marilyn on the 1960s series after original actress, Beverley Owen, left after 13 episodes. “So many of you have been asking…. “What about Marilyn?” Well, here she is! PAT PRIEST is now officially part of the new MUNSTERS movie. For once the rumors are true.”
