Rob Zombie is once again on Instagram with a brand new image from his adaptation of The Munsters! Today Zombie excitedly announces the casting of Catherine Schell (Space: 1999) in the role of the witchy Zoya Krupp.
Here’s what the director’s Instagram post had to say:
MUNSTERS CASTING NEWS! I am thrilled to bring you the first photo from the set of CATHERINE SCHELL as Zoya Krupp. I am sure you all remember Catherine as Maya from Space: 1999 or perhaps from Roy Ward Baker’s Moon Zero Two… or On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, the Dr. Who episode City of Death or her films with Peter Sellers The Return of the Pink Panther and The Prisoner of Zenda. Catherine retired from acting in the 90’s , but now she is back and we are so happy to have her join us on THE MUNSTERS!
This casting new comes a few months after we learned of the main casting for the reboot, and no surprises were made. Sheri Moon Zombie (The Devil’s Rejects) is playing matriarch Lily Munster. Jeff Daniel Philips (The Lords of Salem) is taking on Herman Munster, whose clay-sculpted headpiece had been previously shared via Rob Zombie’s Instagram. And finally, we’ve got Daniel Roebuck (3 From Hell) as Count/Grandpa Munster.
Subsequently, the original cast of The Munsters featured Fred Gwynne, Yvonne de Carlo, Beverly Owen, Butch Patrick, and Al Lewis as Grandpa Munster. Together the group played the average nuclear American family… except for the fact that they were literal monsters.
