Now that Rob Zombie has shouldered the responsibility of creating a reboot for The Munsters, he’s immersed himself in replicas and cast decisions. Recently, he also shared blueprints for 1313 Mockingbird Lane, the better to rebuild the original Munster house.
Heavy metal rockstar Zombie has been a self-proclaimed fan of the series, which ran for two seasons starting in 1964. Unlike The Addams Family, it could freely draw from Universal’s vault of iconic theatrical monsters for character inspiration.

The Munsters lived in a famously zany house with teetering towers and a clock straight out of an Edgar Allen Poe poem. Some features were made via special effects, but the overall layout can be replicated – and is being replicated by Zombie.
