Honestly, old friend of mine on Twitter pointed this out:
It looks like Zombie wanted it to be a black and white film, but studio mandate forced it to be in color.

Someone on Twitter said this looked like a porn parody of The Munsters and that's a dead-on description.

If he knew it was ultimately going to be in color and shot it like it was black and white anyways, that seems like a real "cutting off your nose to spite your face" situation.

I guess I will be nice and say that Dan Roebuck seems to nail Grandpa Munster. That's one thing it looks like they got right.

Wow, that was bad. I want to give Rob the benefit of the doubt given his love of the Munsters, but yikes. It looks so cheap. Maybe he should stick to horror. The 90s Addams family films are the gold standard for what can be done. Stick to horror? You really can't win. P.S. props for using a retro Universal logo. Only that one predates the 60s by a few decades! I'll defend the Devil's Rejects, but the rest..... yeah, you got me there.

I have no context or reference for the Munsters (don't think it really appeared in the UK), but this was not a great trailer. It looked like a low-rent Addams Family without the charm.

I really like the visual look of the film so far, but that guy's Herman just kills it for me.
Grandpa is surprisingly good, but I hope they at least get rid of the mustache.

The Munsters WERE a low-rent Addams Family without the charm. I really don't get the backlash. It's a cheesy, cheap-looking movie based on a cheesy, cheap-looking TV series. What were people expecting? *shrugs*

That trailer was legitimately tough to sit through and look at

I have no context or reference for the Munsters (don't think it really appeared in the UK) BBC used to show The Munsters on Saturday afternoons I think but very irregularly. The Addams Family was on Saturday evenings when the first film came out but Munsters was like how they used to put Looney Tunes on when they had ten minutes spare to air. ITV had Munsters Today around the same time too.

So Rob Zombie decided to have Nostalgia Critic produce this Munsters show? That’s what this looks like.

... the way the Black and White section looks right I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to do this fully in black and white and was told no later... But that might solve some of the background issue it wouldn't fix the costuming issues with Herman's shoulders looking inflatable. Also I will say I do love that the "Witch" in the trailer is Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson. So Rob Zombie decided to have Nostalgia Critic produce this Munsters show? That’s what this looks like.

This movie feels like it was made out of spite.

Sheri is the worst part of any of Robs projects Its telling that the only roles she gets are in RZ's movies. She's especially bad in this trailer.
