You know, combined with the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark article I wrote a short while ago, for whatever reason this latest nugget of news makes me borderline homicidal. I’m not even sure why. Read on for details.

According to TVLine, as if to further drive home the point that its “imaginative reinvention” of “The Munsters” will bear little resemblance to the classic 1960s version, NBC is giving the reboot a new moniker.

“Pushing Daisies” creator Bryan Fuller and X-Men auteur Bryan Singer have changed the title from “The Munsters” to “Mockingbird Lane”.

The new handle is, of course, a nod to the family’s iconic Victorian abode, which is situated at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, and the project is currently in the casting stage.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to beat a brick wall with my fists. Be back soon.
