Another potential way to do a successful Munsters reboot would be to model it after the two ’90s Brady Bunch films. Have the Munsters still acting like a cringy TV family from the ’60s while everyone else around them is full of good ol’ 2024 cynicism. Make the jokes about how old-fashioned the family is and not “Ahhhhh it’s monsters!”

Otherwise, The Munsters, as a “dark reimagining,” is doomed to fail like so many other reboots before it. When you lose sight of what makes the characters popular in the first place, you get something like Mockingbird Lane that no one wants.
