Long before Rob Zombie got his hands on the property, Robert Ginty sat in the director’s chair for Here Come The Munsters, a TV movie that made its debut back in 1995.
One of many re-interpretations of the beloved characters that came along in the wake of the original 1960s TV series, Here Come The Munsters featured all new actors in the iconic roles, with Edward Herrmann (The Lost Boys) playing Herman Munster, Veronica Hamel (Cannonball) as Lily Munster, and Robert Morse (The Loved One) as Grandpa Munster.
Telling the tale of the family’s trip from Transylvania to the United States, Here Come The Munsters aired on FOX on Halloween night in 1995, and the film has long been unavailable to watch outside of low quality, unofficial rips on YouTube. But to our surprise, the official Munsters YouTube channel just uploaded the entire movie in HD for the very first time!
It’s not exactly one of the finest interpretations of the classic TV series you’ll find out there, but fans of “The Munsters” will nevertheless be pleased to see this one unearthed and finally presented in high quality. Here Come The Munsters has been released on DVD outside of the United States, but this brand new HD upload is the best the movie has ever looked.
Keep your eyes peeled for cameos from original “The Munsters” stars Yvonne de Carlo, Butch Patrick, Al Lewis and Pat Priest, who pop up for a short scene in an Italian restaurant!
Over on the franchise’s official YouTube channel you’ll also find clips from the classic black & white series, along with other gems including full movie The Munsters’ Revenge (1981).
