favorite episodes

Well, since we're starting from scratch here, I'll rehash an old subject.

One of my most favorite episodes was where Herman was "disfigured" only to end up looking like Fred Gwynne. It was incredible to see him playing the character out of makeup, very surreal to see what went on underneath all the prosthetics and greasepaint. It would have been fun to done similar things with DeCarlo and Lewis, maybe not an entire episode, but to have them cameo as themselves in some way.

I also loved the episode where Lily gets a job a a fashion model, particularly watching the actress who plays Grandpa as a girl...she was AMAZING, he must've acted out the part, and she proably mimicked him because she had his mannerisms down so well, it was almost believable to imagine Grandpa had been transformed into a girl.

Lilystailor,

I have to agree on both your choices. Those were two of my favorites as well. I remember watching the actress playing 'grandpa' and thought to myself how well she mimicked his mannerisims. It was uncanny. It was like Al Lewis was pulling the strings on a life sized marionette.

I also enjoyed watching Fred Gwynne play Herman, and actually watch just how much emotion and expression he put into playing the part which was hidden by his forehead prosthetic. He had to over dramatise his face just for it to show up under all that make-up. It was truly one of the most memorable episodes.

they re-made that episode for the new series in 1988 which delighted a lot of Munster fans here in the UK, it was really funny!

The reference to John Schuck (Herman) looking like Homer Simpson was hilarious lol.

Welcome to the Munster Mansion site. If you go on ebay.com you can find any Munster item you are looking for. I promise that is where I buy all my Munster items.

I really love the new 1/18th scale Koach and Dragula. The best they had that I can remember as a kid were the smaller 1/25 scale AMT Kits.
