Butch Patrick Just Cosplayed Eddie Munster 50 Years Later
This makes us sad and happy. Mostly happy.
Spanning just two years and only two seasons, “The Munsters” may have been a short-lived series, but it proved that a show need not last very long for it to become an icon in the arena of popular culture. The titular characters, despite their spooky appearances, are some of the most beloved in television history; and who the hell was cuter than little werewolf boy Eddie?!
Eddie Munster was of course played by Butch Patrick, who is now 63 years old. And believe it or not, Patrick just reprised the iconic role over 50 years after the last episode of “The Munsters” aired, at a convention in South Carolina. The Mad Monster Party con took place in the town of Rock Hill over the weekend, and Patrick met fans and signed autographs in character as Eddie!
Unfortunately, none of us were on hand to hang out with Eddie Munster, but we did track down some fun photos from the event over on Instagram. Check ’em out below, “Munsters” fans.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
