However, the low ratings have not stopped some people from defending the Rob Zombie-directed passion project. A “rotten” critical score of 29 percent, based on 14 reviews, is the current score for The Munsters on RT while its audience score, based on more than 50…

And just when you thought the anticipation for the family-friendly extravaganza was flatlining, perhaps this could actually spark some intrigue back into the upcoming adaptation. We certainly won’t hold our breath, though. Over on his official Twitter account, Jeff Daniels Phillips — who…

Image via Universal 1440 Entertainment On the heels of Rob Zombie unveiling the official trailer for The Munsters last week — which folks unapologetically trashed on social media — the gore-fester director has announced that his upcoming film adaptation will be landing directly on Netflix — which, if you ask most people, is actually unwanted at this point. Sorry, Rob. Earlier today, the House of 1000 Corpses director took to his official Instagram to announce that his family-friendly movie will make its debut…

For some reason there’s this cloud of uncertainty around Rob Zombie’s upcoming film The Munsters. When it was first announced, it almost sounded like a joke.

Image via Universal/CBS Some folks are still understandably perplexed that Rob Zombie, of all people, is leading the family-friendly reboot of The Munsters. But the House of 1000 Corpses director has vowed to remain true to the original ‘60s sitcom — so much so that Zombie has been devoted to bringing back several memorable characters from the show’s OG run. As production has progressed over the last few months, Zombie has religiously shared photos to his official Instagram showcasing the ins and outs of the…

Now, I’m not sure why a lot of people assumed based off his body of work he’d make a controversial version of the beloved monster family but the most shocking thing is that he’s making it in color. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly,…

Rob Zombie has a reputation for deranged, blood-soaked terror. His skills were on full display in the ‘Firefly trilogy,’ comprising House of 1000 Corpses, The Devils Rejects, and 3 From Hell, but he’s also turned out the Halloween reboots and secret gem 31.
