THE MUNSTERS (1964): 15 Weird Facts You Didn’t Know

We all remember the creaky gate of 1313 Mockingbird Lane and the infectious, high-pitched laugh of Herman Munster. For two years, the Munsters were America’s favorite "weird" neighbors, bringing a touch of Gothic charm to the suburban sitcom. But behind the heavy green makeup and the iconic Drag-U-La car, there was a world of hidden struggles, physical pain, and quiet sacrifices that the cameras never captured.

Tonight, we’re going beyond the trivia. We’re looking at the humans behind the monsters. This is the tragic, beautiful, and unsettling true story of The Munsters (1964).
