It's time for one last hurrah with (most of) the original Munsters cast! We'll go to a creepy wax museum full of crime robots, meet the dreadfully annoying Cousin Phantom of the Opera, revel in the absolute joy of Herman destroying an entire police station, and hit on the mysteriously caked-up waitress that look suspiciously like a familiar 8-foot-tall Frankenstein that we all know and love.

It's Munsters Month part 3, and we're moving on to the most modern version of the Munsters we've seen so far. And the least familiar. Herman's not exactly a Frankenstein, Grandpa is sometimes a weird bat monster, and Marilyn is actually kind of terrifying. And EVERYONE is very sexy. Join us as we cleverly use lycanthropy and puberty as metaphors for each other, play with our food, and turn Crypt Keeper John Kassir into our blood slave. Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.
