Big Changes Are Coming to The Munsters

While it has been reported that NBC’s new take on The Munsters is going to be very different from what we know and love, the extent of the upcoming series’ changes has never been revealed. But a recent report has pulled back the coffin lid, giving us an early peek at what’s to come in the Bryan Fuller-created show.

Bloody-Disgusting reports the pilot episode, directed by Bryan Singer, “will focus on 10-year-old Eddie Munster who is unaware that he’s a werewolf, and that his family is composed of terrifying creatures. The madness begins when a baby bear attacks a scouting trip, only it turns out that this “bear” is actually Eddie transformed into a werewolf. Eddie is unaware of his metamorphosis and it forces the family to move in order to protect the family secret. The coming of age story gets weirder as he fights against his family when he learns of a shocker: they’re a family of flesh-eaters! A few other random character notes: Lily Munster has an eating disorder and eats suicide victims. Grandpa Munster is a 600-year-old shapeshifter, and Marilyn Munster was adopted when her mother tried to eat her as a baby.”

Well, alrighty then! Clearly Fuller and Singer, who serves as an executive producer, are definitely modernizing the famous family that lives at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. And, as suspected, it’s catering towards a generation raised on The X-Files, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood and American Horror Story.
