THE MUNSTERS: Full Trailer For Rob Zombie's Reboot Torn To Shreds On Social Media

The full trailer for Rob Zombie's family-friendly reboot of classic '60s TV series The Munsters is now online, and to say the footage has not gone down very well would be a grave understatement!

Rob Zombie has been teasing his upcoming feature adaptation of classic black-and-white TV series The Munsters on social media for months, and the notoriously extreme filmmaker finally debuted a full trailer for his uncharacteristically family-friendly reboot yesterday afternoon.

Unfortunately, the teaser was not very well-received... to say the least.

Revealing how Lily and Herman met and fell in love - much to the chagrin of Grandpa and the rest of her family - the trailer is clearly attempting to recapture the light-hearted, campy tone of the black-and-white show, but the performances and cheap production values (among other things) have come in for a lot of ridicule on social media.

Looking at Zombie's previous work, this is more than likely a creative choice, but either way, it really doesn't do this first look at the movie any favors!

Are people being too harsh? Check out the trailer for yourselves and let us know what you think in the comments.

"From Rob Zombie comes the greatest love story ever told as Herman and Lily’s crazy courtship takes The Munsters on a hauntingly hilarious trip from Transylvania to Hollywood."

Starring Sheri Moon Zombie as Lily, Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa, and Jeff Daniel Phillips As Herman, the cast also includes Richard Brake as Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang, Catherine Schell as Zoya Krupp the gypsy queen, Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson as Barbara Carr, and Jorge as a new character named Floop, who is described as “Dr. Wolfgang’s hunchback assistant and Herman Munster’s best buddy.”

The Munsters is reportedly set for release later this year.

It did look a bit throwback campy if that's what his was aiming for then he succeeded.

They gave Rob Zombie 40m to make a tik tok looking movie hahaha. [frick] this is cringe, and not in the good campy way. Also this makes me miss Sid, he was born to play Grandpa..

@bobevanz - my hope is this trailer is to lul us into a false sense of security, then at some point it devolves into a straight up horror movie with Herman ripping people apart and the Vampire members sucking people's blood, and the movie ends with Eddie Munster eating someone alive with blood and gore galore.

@IcePyke - thing is, i never thought it would look anything but stupid, but I will say you can see he put a lot o love into it. Hard to nail the 50’s corniness in an actual funny way tho. Like it wasn’t corny, people think it was corny and mock it. Nah. It was witty. That era had some true greats. Zombie, k smith, bunch o try hards, have no true wit. E for Effort.

That looked horrible. And not just it was kitschy. It was obviously meant to be. But it looked boring. Like the devils rejects doing a bit about the munsters. It has that same sheen his horror movies do which are helped by the realistic look. Camp should be kind of over the top on purpose but with his view it literally looks like I watched people in costume say some things to each other.

In good news they didn’t give him much money. I hated his Halloween movies. So I’d rather him not get a lot of money to platform anything lol

@pmackattack - reported budget of $30-$40M isn’t a lot of money?!?
