Plot

Here Come the Munsters movie scenes Here Come The Munsters

The Munster family is tired of being persecuted back in Transylvania, and on finding part of a letter from cousin Marilyn in California, decides to head to the United States. On arrival they find that Marilyns father, Normann Hyde, is missing, and her Mother (Hermans sister) Elsa Hyde is in a coma. Marilyn details this in the letter but Spot burned the mail (and the letter carrier) so this comes as a surprise to the Munsters.

It turns out that Norman was trying to find a way to make his "peaches and cream" daughter, Marilyn, look a little more like the rest of the clan, but somehow the experiment backfired and Norman Hyde became Brent Jekyll. This is a take on The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Brent Jekyll is running for Congress and as part of his campaign is trying to get foreigners out of America (this includes the Munsters). There is a more sinister part of the story as it seems that Hyde was sabotaged and transformed into Jekyll purposely, to bring forward a politician without a past who people would listen to.

As the story unfolds, the family tries to save the day. With Herman arrested and placed in jail, Grandpa creates a replica of him from spare parts and uses it to help him escape. They flee from the scene in the Munster Koach.

  • In the film, Marilyns last name is Hyde, and she is the daughter of Hermans sister, not Lilys, as in the original series and in The Munsters Today. Also, In this film Marilyn is the same age as the series, however Marilyn has said in the original Series that Herman and Lily have raised her since she was a baby.
  • Grandpa uses a spell on a hearse to turn it into The Munster Koach. This is in contradiction to the original series, and The Munsters Today, where Lily buys it as a gift for Herman.
  • Grandpas lab is shown to be under the stairs (where "Spot" lived) instead of under a trap door in the living room as in the original series and in The Munsters Today.
  • The ownership of the family house also changed. In the original series and The Munsters Today the Munsters owned the house but in this version theyre just house-sitting for Hermans sister.
