was the brains behind the awesome, yet short-lived, Pushing Daisies.
NBC reportedly put about $10 million into this production.
But once I saw some pictures, I was disappointed.
Sometimes, change just for the sake of change is not good.
However, the day after I wrote the above,
NBC released this trailer/promo for the one-shot special:
Well.
I think I would have liked seeing what this new take on
The Munsters would have been like.
Funny how 30 odd seconds can intrigue you!
Ah, well...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But, I love The Munsters,
so let's see what I can find to share with you here!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you know The Munsters theme song had lyrics?
When you are walking the street at night, And behind you there's no-one in view. But you hear mysterious feet at night, Then the Munsters are following you.
If you should meet this strange family, Just forget what some people have said. The Munsters may shake your hand clammily, But they're not necessarily dead.
Behind their house you mustn't be afraid To see a figure digging with a spade, Perhaps someone didn't quite make the grade With the Munsters, with the Munsters.
If when you're sleeping you dream a lot, Ghoulish nightmares parade thru your head. And then you wake up and scream a lot Oh, the Munsters are under your bed.
At midnight if creatures should prowl about, And if vampires and vultures swoop down, And werewolves and fiends shriek and howl about, Well, the Munsters are out on the town.
One night I dared peek thru their window screen. My hair turned white at such a crazy scene Because every evening is Halloween, At the Munsters, at the Munsters.
I like it!

Here's a Hollywood Backstage visit on the set of Munster, Go Home!,
My all-time favorite movie, of any genre, is John Carpenter's Halloween from 1978.
Just love this film, never fails to entertain me, to unnerve me, to impress me.
Instead of writing more on it, I just wanted to share some interesting art I have come across over the years, pieces based on the film, the characters or scenes.
