Rob Zombie has taken to social media today to confirm that one of the original Munsters is back for his upcoming movie, with Pat Priest joining the cast of Zombie’s The Munsters.

Pat Priest played Marilyn Munster in the original black & white television series, replacing Beverly Owen as Marilyn Munster from episodes 14 through 70 of the classic show.

“For once the rumors are true,” Zombie notes on Facebook this week.

Jeff Daniel Phillips is playing Herman Munster and Sheri Moon Zombie is playing Lily Munster in Zombie’s movie, with Daniel Roebuck co-starring as Grandpa Munster.

Richard Brake (31, 3 from Hell) is playing Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang. Catherine Schell (“Space: 1999,” The Return of the Pink Panther) is playing “Zoya Krupp the gypsy queen.”

Dee Wallace, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson and Jorge Garcia will also star.

Zombie is directing the film for Universal Home Entertainment, and it’s possible that The Munsters may end up being a Peacock exclusive. That last bit has not been confirmed.

If you want to revisit the original series, “The Munsters” is streaming on Peacock. That series ran for just two seasons between 1964 and 1966, spawning several feature films and a sequel television series titled “The Munsters Today” (1988 – 1991). Most recently, Bryan Fuller’s “Mockingbird Lane” reimagined the series for NBC, but never made it past a pilot episode.

Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
