Herman discovers he's the new lord of Munster Hall in England. The family sails to Britain, where they receive a tepid welcome from Lady Effigy and Freddie Munster, who throws tantrums because he wasn't named Lord Munster. An on-board romance had blossomed between Marilyn and Roger, but on land Marilyn discovers Roger's family holds a longstanding grudge against the Munsters. Herman upholds the family honor in an auto race; he and Grandpa also unlock "the secret of Munster Hall."

Pop up some popcorn and gather the family around for this highly requested classic. TV's first family of fright head to England. And no groans from the kids this one is in Color!

This movie is also when we are introduced to Grandpa's Drag-U-La Hotrod. Cue the Rob Zombie music! A little slow at first but this movie is sure to please.



Released in the US in mid-summer 1966, this film was frequently double-billed with the similarly-themed The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.  Also "Munsters, Go Home" is Debbie Watson  first and only appearance as Marilyn Munster. And keep your ears open at the end when Herman and Grandpa are shouting for help.
Herman says, "Call Batman," then adds, "Car 54, where are you?" of course Car 54, Where Are You? was the title of a 1961 comedy series that featured both Gwynne and Lewis.
