When Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne) and wife Lily (Yvonne De Carlo) discover that they have inherited a grand property known as Munster Hall in Shroudshire, England there is nothing to it but take the family on a cruise liner half-way across the world to investigate. But with Grandpa (Al Lewis) accidently turning into a wolf along the way it is no mean feat that they manage to clear customs at all. Arriving in England and ready to conquer Europe with their particular kooky charm the Munsters are faced with opposition from Cousin Grace (Jeanne Arnold) and Freddie (the ever-charismatic Terry-Thomas, Make Mine Mink) who are aghast that the American Munsters are in line to inherit the house and gain the title Lord Munster. With the help of Lady Effigie (Hermione Gingold,Gigi) it’s going to take every trick in their book to spook the Munsters away from this golden opportunity. (Umbrella Entertainment)

Munster, Go Home! is a beautiful end to the first era of The Munsters. The Technicolor film is directly related to the black and white series and the perspective is worth it. To my liking, they could have stayed in America, but when it came to traveling, the spooky family handled it with their own grace. They are all beautifully green and well stocked, just right to be entertained by the English countryside. New to the cast is Debbie Watson, who transformed Marilyn from a blonde to a redhead. The film is full of period trends, tackling the feature-length format in a similarly creative way to The Man Called Flintstone, an animated film released the same year. The only problem is that the wait for the next film was too long and by 1981 it was too late for anything better.
