Production is underway on Rob Zombie‘s The Munsters, a brand new movie that’s based on the classic television series. Many actors who frequently appear in Zombie’s movies will make up the cast, including 31 and 3 from Hell star Richard Brake as a brand new character.
Brake is playing Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang in Rob Zombie’s The Munsters, who Zombie describes as being “Transylvania’s most popular Mad Scientist.” Meet the good doctor below!
Brake himself tweets today, “I’ve hung out with Stormtroopers, killed Batman’s parents and popped into the Marvel Universe. But this! This is a childhood dream come true. The Munsters!!! So excited to be a part of it.”
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.
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.
