There aren't many funny, pre-Pufnstuf era monster movies suitable for the family, until one remembers the Munsters, who beyond their two-season television stint, made two feature films, albeit fifteen years apart. Both filmed in Technicolor, the vibrance of the Munsters' spooky lifestyle is most apparent in Munsters, Go Home (1966), far superior to the cornier Munsters' Revenge. A true '60s relic, Munsters, Go Home begins when Herman's deceased relative bestows him with Lord status, necessitating the Munsters' trip to England to claim his title. There, he meets other Munsters, Lady Effigy and Freddie Munster, whose jealousy results in frightening antics that only thrill Herman, Grandpa, Lily, Eddie, and Marilyn (with Pat Priest replaced by Debbie Watson). As the plot thickens, Herman faces other threats to the family honor with his classic innocent bravado. In Munsters' Revenge, a wax museum criminal circuit sends Munsters' imposters out to commit crimes, so it's up to the real family to solve the mystery. Different Eddies and Marilyns slightly spoil the family reunion's ambience, though ample physical comedy--for example when Herman's bee sting causes him to destroy the police precinct where he's being held as a criminal suspect--makes the film authentic to its original characters. Moreover, watching this double feature is an inspiring reminder of what props used to look like, like George Barris's Munster Koach, not to mention those that grace the entire Munster Mansion. --Trinie Dalton

I really liked it........2007-05-14

I was pleased that the sender took the time to make sure the DVD was seated properly. If you seat the DVD down right no amount of shaking it around is going to dislodge the DVD. Which is the excuse some use when I receive one that is flopping around in its cover and getting scratched. I would order from this sender again. Sincerely Wanda Dixon

Corn and horror?.......2007-02-17

Nostalgia can sum up the two movies here. You either enjoyed the Munsters or you did not. If you grew up with "them" you will appreciate the first movie. The second has less of Lily and Eddie is not the same character, ( Butch was in his 20's at this time if I am correct). All in all not a bad regrouping of the actors and characters. Take the trip down memory lane.

Munsters fan from Oz.......2007-01-03

I just love the Munsters. I am glad they have released these two flicks on DVD. Corny but adorable. I wish they had more seasons but it seems to be that way with cult series'. They seem to become very popular years later. Can't beat them I say.

Great set.......2007-01-03

This DVD package is a two movie set that gives us the final bow of the original cast of the Munsters. In the first film "Munsters Go Home", we see a movie that was released right after the final season of the original show. Although it has a few funny scenes, it is not even close to as funny as the original TV series. But the whole cast is there except for Pat Priest who played Marilyn in the TV series.
The second movie was made a number of years later. It is the last time we get to see Fred Gwynn play Herman Munster. Although the movie itself is not very funny, it is nice to see the original Herman, Lily, and Grampa. It's obvious that all of the original cast has gotten older, particuarly Lily. But all in all, it's a nice way to finish the TV set if you are a true Munsters fan.

Very Good Re Release.......2006-10-03

I have both movies Munsters, Go Home (1966)(full screen) and Munsters' Revenge on DVD. but Munsters Go Home the new release is in 1:85 widescreen and both movies look much better on the new Munsters - Two Movie Fright Fest.
It was well worth buying this movie collection! Also the book Munsters: A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane came out Sunday Oct 1, 2006. It is a Munster fan must have.

a great munster movie!.......2006-04-23

This movie is fantastic and I don't think a movie based on a television series could get any better than this although universal and goodtimes could put more effort to make a better realease and re-realease it. This film includes the original cast except for pat priest she is replaced by debbie watson. It also includes british comedians terry-thomas and hermione gingold. Overall this movie is great!

Great movie featuring the Munster gang!.......2005-10-15

This is the 1966 color movie made directly after The Munsters was cancelled. This movie recieved moderate attention at the box office, but it was new to see the family in England, and in color for the first time!

Great - A 60's Classic.......2005-03-20

The Munsters go to England, and of course end up in a car race. Grandpa builds a race car from a spare coffin, Herman drives it to a win. The race car was a variation of the George Barris "Drag-U-La" classic. Of course it was absurd to think Herman could win a race with the drag tires front and rear, but then the Munsters is all about suspension of disbelief. I have fond memories here, the Munsters was about the coolest show you could watch back in those days and George Barris was everywhere! I've got it on DVD; but unfortunately there is not a "making of" or retrospectives by the surviving cast.
