Profile of The Munsters
The Munsters can be described as offbeat, humorous, and witty. The plot revolves around vampires, hidden identities, and an eccentric family. The main genres are comedy, horror, and family. In approach, The Munsters is not serious and fantastical. It is set, at least in part, in the suburbs. It takes place in the 1960s.
Summary of The Munsters
Bursting onto screens in the early 1960s, The Munsters offered a skewed, yet hilarious, visualization of a less than wholesome family unit. The pale and deathly-looking set of characters were loosely based on a number of popular figures from horror films, and included head of the family, Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne); His demure wife, Lily (Yvonne DeCarlo); Grandpa (Al Lewis); Herman and Lily's son, Eddie (Butch Patrick), and their niece, Marilyn (Beverley Owen). Plenty of laughs were provided as the group of misfits attempted to assimilate themselves into society, although most of the chuckles were to be found at the gag-fuelled ghouls' highly gothic-looking residence, 1313 Mockingbird Lane.
