Butch Patrick turns 70 today, but he still exhibits the same youthful exuberance he brought to The Munsters as Eddie Munster from 1964 to 1966. From child actor to the classic series’ de facto delegate, I had the pleasure of speaking with Patrick about his unconventional career, The Munsters‘ legacy, and more at NorthEast Comic Con’s Collectibles Extravaganza.
Patrick stumbled into acting. While accompanying his little sister to a print modeling shoot, the photographer asked to take his photo as well. “He took some pictures of me afterward, and he put one in his window. About a month later, a producer and a director were walking by. They were casting a movie, and they still needed the youngest son of Eddie Albert and Jane Wyatt. I wound up getting the movie. It was a great little B-movie called The Two Little Bears.”
He continues, “I went for an interview and got hired,...

Beverley Owen, the actress best known for originating the character Marilyn on the sitcom The Munsters, died of ovarian cancer at her Vermont home on February 21 while surrounded by friends and family. The actress was reportedly diagnosed in January 2017, but did not disclose her illness to the public. She was 81.
Her co-star Butch Patrick, who played Eddie Munster on the beloved 1960s comedy, paid tribute to the late actress on Facebook.
"Beautiful Beverly (sic) Owen has left us. What a sweet soul," he wrote. "I had the biggest crush on her. Rip Bev and thanks for your 13 memorable Marilyn Munster episodes."
The Iowa native appeared on 13 episodes of The Munsters, which centered on a sweet family of lovable monsters, including versions of Frankenstein's monster, Dracula and the Wolfman — or, in that case, Wolfboy.

Exclusive: British actress Charity Wakefield is set to co-star opposite Eddie Izzard in NBC’s Munsters reboot Mockingbird Lane. The pilot, written by Bryan Fuller and to be directed by Bryan Singer, is described as a reinvention of the 1960s sitcom about a family of “monsters” – vampires, werewolves and Frankenstein and their “plain” cousin (Wakefield) — with striking visuals in the vein of Fuller’s ABC dramedy Pushing Daisies. Wakefield will play Marilyn, Lily’s beautiful niece and the only “normal” Munster (which makes her rather abnormal). Saved from being devoured by her own mother as an infant, she lives with the Munsters but has not inherited any of their special attributes. A college student who believes in good manners and congeniality toward the new neighbors, she regularly clashes with Grandpa (Izzard), but she gets along well with Aunt Lily and Uncle Herman, as well as with her young cousin Eddie.

An ooky childhood story:
One day while hanging out with my best friend looking for something interesting to film with my Super-8 camera, I’d decided it would be fun to take my Evel Knievel doll (excuse me, action figure) and record the results of setting him ablaze. Certain that just taking a match to him wouldn’t produce the desired conflagration, my friend and I conferred on just what sort of household ingredient we could add to make him more…well, combustible. We decided to tell my father about this project and we figured we were on safe ground if we asked to borrow a can of spray paint. Walking a little nervously down to the seclusion of his basement man cave, we made our request. At which point, he turned to us and deadpanned:

From the "just when you think you've heard it all" department comes word that NBC and Brian Fuller (Pushing Daisies) are considering remaking the creepy family from 1313 Mockingbird Lane -- The Munsters.
EW reports that the project is still in the early development stages but the peacock network has ordered a pilot. No further details are available other than the fact that the remake is being described as "Modern Family meets True Blood." (Wasn't that sort of the concept for ABC's The Gates?) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy) is supposedly eyeing a behind-the-scenes role. However you look at it, this doesn't sound much like the original series.
The Munsters first appeared on CBS in 1964 and revolves around a family of monsters who consider themselves an ordinary suburban family. It stars Fred Gwynne, Yvonne De Carlo, Al Lewis, Butch Patrick, Beverley Owen, and later,...
