If you’re a fan ofRob Zombie,The Munsters, and decent with photoshop or an image editing program, you’re probably going to send me an email. That’s because Collider is partnering up with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment for aThe Munstersthemed fan art contest to celebrate the release of Zombie’sThe Munstersmovie on September 27th. And it’s being judged by the original Eddie Munster himself,Butch Patrick!
If for some reason you’re not familiar withThe Munsters, the characters first appeared on television screens in 1964 and it followed the home life of a family of monsters. While it only lasted two seasons, the series grew in popularity thanks to syndication, which led to severalMunstersmovies and even a sequel series,The Munsters Today, which aired from 1988-1991.
So, you’re probably asking yourself what kind of art do I need to create to win the contest? It can be a drawing ofThe Munsters, the house, or even one character on their own. Literally anything you want can be submitted, as long as it’s an image or a poster. But I’d wager the winner of the contest will be the one who comes up with something cool or unexpected that gets Butch Patrick’s attention.

“From writer/director Rob Zombie comes the strangest love story ever told. Lily is just your typical 150-year-old, lovelorn vampire looking for the man of her nightmares . . . that is until she lays eyes on Herman, a seven-foot-tall, green experiment with a heart of gold. It’s love at first shock as these two ghouls fall fangs over feet in this crazy Transylvanian romance. Unfortunately, it’s not all smooth sailing in the cemetery as Lily’s father The Count has other plans for his beloved daughter’s future, and they don’t involve her bumbling beau, Herman. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll howl at the moon as The Munsters make their way to Mockingbird Lane!”
