The Munsters’ Rob Zombie Will Never Make A Sequel, Says First Film Was Draining


Getting any movie made is always an uphill battle, and Zombie has fought hard to get his indie horror filmography in front of audiences for decades. After directing several of his own music videos, Zombie’s feature film debut, “House of 1000 Corpses” is somehow celebrating its 20th anniversary with a new Blu-ray and Best Buy exclusive SteelBook from Lionsgate. In short, he’s paid his dues as a filmmaker and it sounds like “The Munsters” may be his last film for the foreseeable future, telling EW:

“‘The Munsters’ was exhausting. That was an exhausting movie to make. It took almost five years of non-stop pushing. And then, being in a foreign country, during the height of COVID, was not as much fun as you would think! So the whole experience was very draining.”

The original TV series was filmed on the backlot of Universal Studios, but due to budget restraints, Zombie and crew traveled to Budapest, Hungary to shoot their version. After numerous attempts to get “The Munsters” made, Zombie had to go through a lot of adversity in order to get his vision in front of cameras, and it doesn’t sound like he has any intention right now to try and repeat that process all over again. 

With multiple films under his belt at this point, Zombie really doesn’t have much else to prove, and the loyal fanbase that he’s amassed over the years has plenty of his horror movies to revisit until he decides to take on directing again. His only real reason to make a sequel to “The Munsters” is to revisit the iconic characters again, a luxury he was able to enjoy with his Firefly family trilogy of “House of 1000 Corpses,” “The Devil’s Rejects,” and “3 From Hell.”
