Rob Zombie has again taken to social media for a brand new character reveal from The Munsters, this week introducing the werewolf named Lester, Lily Munster’s brother!
Lester is being played by 3 from Hell actor Tomas Boykin. Zombie writes over on Instagram today, “Get ready for Lester. He’s gonna make you howl with laughter.”
Meet Lester below! The character of Lester Dracula was played by Irwin Charone in the original “Munsters” TV series, an “entrepreneurial wolfman with a history of bad investments.”
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.
