The premise

America's First Family of Fright awaken after an accidental 22-year nap and must adjust to life in the 1980s.

Horror Vault's take

Herman, Lily, and the rest of the Munster clan pick up right where the original series left off — except decades have passed and the world outside their creaky mansion has changed dramatically. This revival series drops its lovably monstrous family into the neon-soaked 1980s, mining laughs from the collision between their old-world oddities and modern American life. Equal parts affectionate homage and standalone sitcom, it keeps the spirit of the beloved classic alive for a new generation.
