Rob Zombie is keeping fans well-informed along his journey creating a new vision of The Munsters. Today he’s back on Instagram to share a BRAND NEW image from the film. This time the spooky photo in question reveals all new casting details!
According to the shock-rocker’s post, he has cast Sylvester McCoy, who is seen here in full character costume for Igor. Looks like Igor will be a Lurch-esque housekeeper in the updated Munsters universe, likely based on Cousin Igor. The legendary character actor gets an informative shout out in Rob Zombie’s status:
You may remember Sylvester as the 7th Doctor Who or perhaps as Radagast from Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. GET READY FOR IGOR!
Check out Rob Zombie’s post for The Munsters right here:
This isn’t the first time the franchise has been recalibrated for modern audiences. Back in the 1980s, they resurfaced as The Munsters Today—the longest-running series in the property’s history. In 2012 NBC gave a reboot a try with Bryan Fuller at the helm. While the pilot for Mockingbird Lane has its fans, it wasn’t enough for the network to push the iteration forward as a series.
A notorious Munsters fan, Zombie has been chasing this film adaptation for 20-some-odd years, according to the first Instagram post he shared on the subject. The new Rob Zombie film is likely to hit the streaming service Peacock sometime next year. We’re still unsure if the project will be seen theatrically. Keep an eye on Dread Central for more updates as they come in.
