WorldwideWWAbout this title
Storyline
This is supposed to be the exact same Munster family as in the '60s series "The Munsters". One of Grandpa's experiments went awry and put the Munsters into suspended animation for 20 years. Upon awakening in the '80s, they experience the same comic situations, since they don't realize that they aren't "normal". Dad Herman resembles the Frankenstein monster, Mom Lily and Grandpa are vampires, son Eddie is a werewolf, and only beautiful Marilyn looks like a human.
