The Munsters!

Rob Zombie does The Munsters.

*edit to add* Holy heck, I just noticed they even have Pat Priest in the cast!

You missed Cassandra Peterson, aka Elvira?  (How old ARE both of these ladies today, anyway?)

There was a made-for-TV Munsters remake several years ago, but the family was actually murderous (rather than just hinting it at as in the original TV series) since they just outright killed someone to get a spare part for Herman.

Let me guess, Herman will have woman parts in this and it really gets woke when you find out which parts  :O

I was never one much for the Munsters, especially when compared to the Addams Family, but I think I'll see that. Probably not in the theater, but at least on HBO or streaming.

Pat Priest was an original cast member, the second iteration of Marilyn Munster. I think she and Butch Patrick are the only two still alive. IMDB doesn't show Patrick as a cast member but his Wiki list this installment among his credits.

Elvira is 70 years old and had been a muff-diver for the last 19 but she kept it under wraps so as not to harm her "image".

I really don't care what people do as long as they keep it out of my face, and they don't demand my approval for whatever their perversion. (I have my own sins, and I don't expect everyone's affirmation of them.)  So props to her for being discrete.  Seriously, good for her.

And sorry, no one can replace Fred Gwynne

Yeah I know.
I was born in the same year the Musters came out. Hard to imagine anyone else playing that character.
And heck add Al Lewis (Grandpa) to that as well.

You must have had an apoplexy the first time you saw Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester...

Most of the movie cast did pretty good IMHO.

Oh, he was perfectly appropriate as Uncle Fester.

The movie cast knocked it out of the park it was so good.

Raul Julia as Gomez? Holy crap that was inspired casting!

Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester did a better job than Jackie Coogan did.
