Rob Zombie has made it clear throughout his career that he's a fan of the classic 1960s sitcom The Munsters, including a clip from the show in HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES and writing the song "Dragula" in tribute to a vehicle that was featured on the show. And yet I still never expected him to record a Munsters fan commentary.
Scream Factory has announced that they're bringing the theatrically released feature film MUNSTER, GO HOME! to Blu-ray, and among the bonus features on this disc will be an audio commentary featuring Zombie.
MUNSTER, GO HOME! has the following synopsis:
America's Funniest Family in their first full-length feature film!
Following the wildly popular Munsters TV series, original cast members Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster), Yvonne De Carlo (Lily Munster), Al Lewis (Grandpa) and Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) are reunited in this hilarious movie as you’ve never seen them before… in spooky color!
Herman inherits a mansion in England and moves the family into an estate full of ghosts and other surprises. Also starring Terry-Thomas (The Abominable Dr. Phibes), Hermione Gingold (Bell, Book And Candle), Richard Dawson (Hogan's Heroes), Bernard Fox (Arnold) and horror film legend John Carradine (The Howling), and directed by TV veteran Earl Bellamy who directed episodes of the original series, Munster, Go Home! is a spookily splendid return for the first family of fright!
The 1981 TV movie THE MUNSTERS' REVENGE will also be included on the disc as a bonus feature, that's very cool. Here's the full list of bonus features:
– Bonus Television Film – The Munsters’ Revenge (1981) – NEW 2K Scan (1.33:1)
– NEW Audio Commentary With Actor Butch Patrick And Musician/Filmmaker Rob Zombie
– Vintage Cast Radio Interviews

– Theatrical Trailer
