Boo! The Munsters

Today we are going to highlight The Munsters.  The Munsters was a weekly television show that revolved around the home life of some friendly ‘monsters’ per say in every day situations.  The first show aired September 24, 1964 and the series ran until May 12, 1966.  It’s hard to believe but there was only 70 episodes produced. All of these shows were made in black and white and I truly believe that made them even spookier.

There were several movies based on the television series that were also produced.

In 1966, Munster, Go Home!  was released.  This was the first time that the Munsters were shown in color.  This is probably one of my favorites from the show.  The Munsters travel to England to claim Munster Hall after the death of an old relative.  And me being a guy, I fell in love with the DRAG-U-LA car.  Snorts – now that was a car that I would love to ride around in – even with them!

In 1981, The Munster’s Revenge was released.  Snorts – who would have ever believed the plot of this one!  The owner of a wax museum creates robots of Herman and Grandpa and uses them as part of a plot to rob a traveling Egyptian antiquities exhibit.  Really?!  Of all the people in the world, they create robots out of Herman and Grandpa?  Can you imagine the fun of this movie?  Can you imagine running into Herman and Grandpa – shivers.  That’s definitely what nightmares are made out of!

In 1995, Here Comes the Munsters was released.  This one I had to watch twice because the first time I had one hoof over my eyes in fear.  My fur was standing up on its own.  In this movie, the family search for Herman’s brother in law, Norman Hyde, only to find out that he has unknowingly turned himself into Brent Jekyll who is running for Congress.  See what I mean – congress – double shivers!

In 1996, The Munster’s Scary Little Christmas came out.  In this show, Grandpa has accidentally captured Santa Claus and two of his elves while Lily is trying to win the local neighborhood Christmas home decorating competition.  AND, Marilyn has invited family and friends from the old country to stay for Christmas.  I almost lost my religion watching this one.  This movie is by far the scariest of them all.  Can you imagine life without Santa Claus – I know!  That is frightening – shivers.

For the day and time, you might get some shivers of the spooky family that crawled up your spine and scared you – especially that hideous Marilyn.  Now that’s a scary monster – snort shivers.

31 Days of Spook – Day 1

Hello my frightful spooks, ghosts, goblins and creatures of the night.  (I snorted on that one just a bit)!  Count Baconula here –

Welcome to 31 Days of Spook on my blog.  Today is day #1 – how exciting, huh?  I’m going to highlight something eerie, something spooky, something that goes bump in the night every day of this wonderfully haunting month of October.  Everything will lead up to the big night – Halloween.  Are you ready for the trip?  Are you ready for the spooks.  I’ll start off easy with you.  I promise.

Today we are going to highlight The Munsters.  The Munsters was a weekly television show that revolved around the home life of some friendly ‘monsters’ per say in every day situations.  The first show aired September 24, 1964 and the series ran until May 12, 1966.  It’s hard to believe but there was only 70 episodes produced. All of these shows were made in black and white and I truly believe that made them even spookier.

Dear Bacon –

Dear Bacon,

I know Halloween has past but I had to share with you my costume.  My master was the most creative I believe.  Can you guess who I am?  Really, can you?  He dressed up like Herman and mom dressed up like Lily.  We were a hoot Halloween night.  Sorry I couldn’t make your cyber party.  Signed Barky Brewster

Dear Barky Brewster,

That is so original!  Kudo’s to your master for such a creative costume.  I love it!  That’s one of mom’s favorite shows and we watch it on the television in my room at times.  By all means, you win top dog!

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Hey Pig,

You talk about it being hard to maintain your good looks – don’t I know it.  It don’t come easy.  With beauty comes pain and trust me little man – I gotta lot of pain to keep these good looks!  Signed Mabel

Dear Mabel,

Um, well you are just absolutely darling.  There’s a lot of work in that beauty there.  I can see it… lots of it.  Bless your little heart for taking the time to go all out and be all you ewe can be.  Good job my lady friend.  Keep up the great work!

 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Dear Bacon,

What am I to do?  I’m a lab rat junky.  I can’t get enough of the sweets.  Look at my body.  I need help.  I need an intervention.  Call Richard Simmons – call the Biggest Loser – call someone!  OOHH, can you call me a pizza while you’re at it too?  Signed Tiny

Dear Tiny,

First of all, admission is the first step.  You need to be that candy and cookie down.  Then, turn away and wobble away from it.  You don’t need that junk food.  I myself prefer my fruits and vegetables.  I say find some veggies that you like and start munching on them.  You don’t need an intervention – you just need to learn to say no.  Good luck my furry friend.  P.S. If you come over to my house, I can help you.  Me and the purr cats can chase you up and down the hall.  That’ll help 🙂  All for a good cause my friend.  All for a good cause.

 
—————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Dear Bacon,

It just takes one smarty to dare you to do something before you do it and get in trouble.  It’s all laughter and taunting until someone gets stuck over a fence.  I can’t go forward.  I can’t go backwards.  Of course Henry is just standing in the back ground laughing his behinney off.  Don’t be me little man.  Don’t take the bait.  You would be worse off than I.  Signed Cows Can’t Jump

Dear Cows Can’t Jump,

That is quite the little dilema you have there.  At least Henry can do is push you from behind to help you over.  That’s gotta hurt.  Just remember my friend – payback is a you know what.  Insert evil snort 🙂
———————————————————————————————————————————————–

Dear Bacon,

WHHAAZZZ UUUPP?  I’ve been following you for a bit my little dude.  I think its time to cut the skirt tails of your momma and live at large.  Get you some bling and start getting out more.  Come visit me little dude.  I got it going on at my farm.  Signed Rebel ReKognize

Dear Rebel ReKognize,

OK.  I’m going out on a limb here.  You probably didn’t get a whole lot of loving from you mom growing up did you?  Did you miss something from your childhood?  You know you don’t have to have the pierced tongue, or the dark shades or the bling in your mouth to be cool.  Being cool doesn’t equate fitting in.  You can be your own horse and shine in your own way.  You don’t have to ‘fit’ in a group to be cool.  You can be cool just by being you.  Think about it my friend.  HUGS to you.
