Munster, Go Home!

Theatrical farewell to Herman, Lily, Grandpa and the gang features many of the same talents behind the popular 1960s television show "The Munsters", but this misadventure seems a little bereft of imagination--perhaps a laugh-track might have helped? The ghoulish clan inherits a British estate, and Herman gets involved in a slapstick auto race. Debbie Watson is the one newcomer to the cast (taking over for Pat Priest as niece Marilyn), but not even a jovial Fred Gwynne or the glinty-eyed Al Lewis can raise this script from the crypt. Maybe filming the family in color was a technical error--it takes the edge off the Universal/monster movie satire which the TV show nailed without effort. This one strains for laughs, and ends on a whimper. *1/2 from ****

I love this movie even though the original cast wasn't complete.It had its most funniest moments.As always Fred Gwynne,Yvonne DeCarlo,and Al Lewis shines as Herman,Lily,& Grandpa.I wonder why they didn't get Pat Priest back in the role as Marilyn instead of casting Debbie Watson.Still this movie is/was great.The movie has been released on DVD thru Universal and its a double feature disk.Munster Go Home & The Munsters Revenge together on the same DVD! WAY TO GO UNIVERSAL! If you are a die hard fan of the TV series THE MUNSTSERS then get this DVD.I bought it at Wal-mart for around $15.00.The quality of both movies is excellent and great Techicolor on the Munster Go Home movie.Its great to see our favorite characters in color instead of the old black and white format!

I just recently seen this good film a couple days ago and I think its a funny film.The Munsters are Hilarious especially Herman and Grandpa and Lily is something else! What a woman Yvonne De Carlo is! I really like Maria Lennard as Millie the bar tender/maid. She is a very pretty and different woman and she reminds of the beautiful Rachel Weiz. This is a good film for all monster,horror,comedy,and Universal Monsters fans!

Apr 2021 Munster go home, which can now be bought on blu ray, and you finally get to see the family of fright in colour. This is set in England and if like the series you cannot go wrong here. Good family fun. 9 out of 10.

I was 7 years old when "Munster, Go Home!" was released in 1966. Had I seen it then, I would have been disappointed because Pat Priest wasn't in it. But this is 2020, and overall this is a fun watch. This especially makes a great watch during Halloween. As for the film itself, it takes elements from the series and uses them here (such as Grandpa turning into a wolf, first explored in Season 1). Seeing them in color for the first time is also fun as well. As per Marilyn: Universal was trying to build up Debbie Watson's career. When this film debuted, her 1965-1966 series "Tammy" was winding down. Sad part was, it went nowhere. Debbie Watson gives a fine effort, though. Overall, a fun watch.

The Munsters read a will from their late English relative. Herman is named the new Lord of Munster Hall and inherits a vast estate. The family is off to England but their distant relatives have dire plans for them. I've never seen the TV show but it's not that complicated. They're a lovely bunch. It's a little silly. It's light. It's nothing outrageously funny but it's cute enough. It's cute enough.
