Another fresh update from Rob Zombie today gives us a sneak peek at his team’s recreation of the iconic Mockingbird Lane house from The Munsters, which is now nearly complete!
“1313 is looking good! Lots of work left to do, but it is getting there! Takes a lot of work to build an entire neighborhood,” Zombie writes, sharing six new images from the set.
Zombie’s team is indeed building not only the Munsters’ house but an entire stretch of Mockingbird Lane, suggesting Universal is happily going all out for this one.
We don’t yet know much about Zombie’s The Munsters, but it’s pretty clear at this point that he’s looking to faithfully bring the world of the classic television series back to life. Murphy’s Multiverse recently broke the news that Sheri Moon Zombie and Jeff Daniel Phillips will be playing Lily and Herman Munster in the Rob Zombie-penned film, with the cast also including Richard Brake, Dan Roebuck, Jorge Garcia and Cassandra (Elvira) Peterson. These details, however, have not been officially confirmed by Zombie at this time.
Zombie is directing the film for Universal Home Entertainment, and it’s possible that The Munsters may end up being a Peacock exclusive. Again, that 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.
