''The Munsters'' is a comedy film written and directed by Music/RobZombie. The film is an adaptation of [[Series/TheMunsters the television series of the same name]].

Lily is just your typical 150-year-old, lovelorn vampire looking for the man of her nightmares . . . that is until she lays eyes on Herman, a seven-foot-tall, green experiment with a heart of gold. It's love at first shock as these two ghouls fall fangs over feet in this crazy Transylvanian romance. Unfortunately, it's not all smooth sailing in the cemetery as Lily's father The Count has other plans for his beloved daughter's future, and they don't involve her bumbling beau Herman.

The film came out on video and digital on September 27, 2022.
