Munster, Go Home! Munster, Go Home! Munster, Go Home! is a 1966 American comedy horror film based on the hit 1960s family television sitcom "The Munsters". It was directed by Earl Bellamy, who also directed a number of episodes in the series. The film was produced immediately after the television series completed filming for its original run, and included the original cast with the exception of Marilyn, who was played by Debbie Watson replacing Pat Priest from the series. Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne) and his wife, Lily (Yvonne De Carlo) learn from Cavanaugh Munster's will that they have inherited an English manor known
The Munsters Eddie was portrayed by Derman as a nasty brat. The title sequence had light, happy music (picked up from the Doris Day movie "The Thrill of It All") instead of the more hip surf theme that was to come. The episode is available on the complete first season of "The Munsters" DVDs. It was also decided that Joan Marshall looked too much like Morticia Addams and that Happy Derman was too nasty as Eddie, so both were replaced. On the basis of the first presentation, the new series, still not completely cast, was announced by CBS on February 18, 1964.
