If Zombie’s The Munsters reboot truly is a prequel, Eddie and Marilyn’s absence could be explained by the former not having been born yet and the latter not having moved in with them. At the end of The Munsters movie’s teaser trailer, Lily, Herman, and Grandpa sit down on a couch in their 1313 Mockingbird Lane house looking lost, with Daniel Roebuck’s Grandpa asking, “ Well, now what?” Nearly every piece of furniture in The Munsters trailer has a tag on it as well, suggesting the family has just sent over these belongings as they officially move from Transylvania to America. While the absence of Eddie and Marilyn Munster suggests a completely new angle for tackling The Munsters characters, Zombie’s teaser trailer hints that his movie may actually be a prequel to the original series. The extent of Priest’s role and how exactly Patrick will be involved are unclear, but at least the nostalgic spirit of the iconic Eddie and Marilyn will be present in The Munsters film, even if they’re not actually portraying their original characters. However, the original Eddie Munster actor Butch Patrick and second Marilyn Munster actress Pat Priest from the 1960s sitcom are both confirmed to be involved in Zombie’s 2022 movie. Put another way, Scott could just as easily have been bitten by a radioactive spider and hopping around in spandex.There have oddly been unsubstantiated rumors of Evan Rachel Wood playing Marilyn and Jacob Tremblay playing Eddie in The Munsters reboot movie, but neither Zombie nor Universal has confirmed any such casting. Tellingly, not only does the CW intend to build on its undead franchise come fall, but ABC Family’s “The Nine Lives of Chloe King” premieres later this month, adhering to a similar template about a teen undergoing big changes, mirroring the sense of discovery mixed with confusion here. Woof Woof wears his suite, dress shirt and real shoes. This replica of Eddie Munster’s favorite werewolf doll, Woof Woof, stands over 2 feet tall and is hand painted with a fur body. This was seen on one of the most popular TV shows in history The Munsters debuted in 1964 and has never been forgotten even though it ran just three years. (MTV will repeat the pilot Monday, along with a new episode.) Eddie Munsters Teddy Bear, Woof Woof, Doll. Fortunately, that reference will likely be lost on most of those apt to tune in, who will get an episodic taste of what’s made “The Vampire Diaries” a modest success. Written by Jeff Davis and directed by Russell Mulcahy, the series generally gets the mood right but proves miserly in the details, from fleeting glimpses of the werewolf to Scott’s eventual moon dance, which leaves him looking too much like Eddie Munster. It’s only too bad their big first date happens to coincide with a full moon. Soon enough, changes begin to manifest themselves, from new-found prowess on the lacrosse field to what amounts to super-hearing – which is convenient, since there’s a hot new girl (Crystal Reed) upon whose calls Scott can eavesdrop. Lured by Stiles, “Stand by Me”-like, to go look for a dead body in the woods, he’s attacked and bitten by … something shadowy and furry. Scott McCall ( Tyler Posey) is the standard ordinary kid with one goofy friend, Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) a dream of making the starting lacrosse team (an odd choice given how the movie dealt with basketball, but whatever) and an inhaler. Granted, in the case of that series, the protagonist’s metamorphosis tends to be a bit more, er, localized. The fantasy hook notwithstanding, “Teen Wolf” is really just the flip side of MTV’s earlier scripted foray “ The Hard Times of RJ Berger,” addressing pangs of adolescence in an exaggerated way.
