Zombie, the director behind “House of 1000 Corpses” and “The Devil’s Rejects” will deliver a family- friendly film which he confirmed will be rated PG. His version will be in color, as the teaser trailer revealed last week.

The costumes are designed by Tóth András Dániel and Godena-Juhász Attila. Zombie revealed photos of Daniel’s and Attila’s designs when he shared sketches of what Lily and Herman Munster wear to bed. The detailed look included a description of Herman’s nightgown, complete with skull buttons, while spiderweb embroidery finishes Lily’s floor-length robe.
