Rob Zombie announced today that Dee Wallace, who previously starred in Halloween, Lords of Salem, and 3 from Hell, is part of the cast of upcoming movie The Munsters!
Zombie writes, “Dee is the voice of GOOD MORNING TRANSYLVANIA! Transylvania’s 2nd favorite morning show… soon slipping to 3rd if they don’t update their format.”
Dee Wallace is of course a longtime icon in the horror genre, starring in 1980s classics including Cujo, The Howling, and Critters, not to mention Steven Spielberg’s E.T.
We still don’t yet have a release date but it’s clear that Zombie‘s The Munsters is coming very soon, with the MPA recently handing the film its official “PG” rating.
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.”
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.
