While we continue waiting for a release date, Rob Zombie continues to tease his new movie The Munsters, of course based on the classic television series. Zombie has once again taken to Instagram to give us a first-look sneak peek at the upcoming movie, with today’s teaser putting the spotlight on “Lost” actor Jorge Garcia‘s character in the film.
Garcia is playing a character named Floop, described by Zombie as being “Dr. Wolfgang’s hunchback assistant and Herman Munster’s best buddy.” The film’s Ygor, essentially.
Floop looks to be a brand new character for Rob Zombie’s vision of The Munsters, never seen in previous Munsters projects. You can meet Floop via the Instagram photo below.
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.”
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.
