'''Here Come the Munsters''' is a 1995 MadeForTVMovie and ContinuityReboot of ''Series/TheMunsters'', set in the then present day. It stars Creator/EdwardHerrmann as Herman, Veronica Hamel as Lily, Creator/RobertMorse as Grandpa, Creator/ChristineTaylor as Marilyn, and Matthew Botuchis as Eddie.
When the local villagers’ nightly assault on their castle home goes a little too far, the Munster clan decides it’s time to find a new place to live. After finding a mostly-burned letter from Herman’s niece Marilyn during their escape, they take the small amount of information they can make out as an invitation to come live in Mockingbird Heights, California.
Unfortunately, something is rotten in Mockingbird Heights. Marilyn’s father has gone missing, her mother is catatonic, and a mysterious local congressional candidate is pledging to make things ''very'' hard for immigrants. With their sponsors out of commission and their stay on American soil in jeopardy, the Munsters have to fit in the best they can while they try to uncover what happened to Norman Hyde.

'''Here Come the Munsters''' is a 1995 MadeForTVMovie and ContinuityReboot of ''Series/TheMunsters'', set in the then present day. It stars Creator/EdwardHerrmann as Herman, Veronica Hamel as Lily, Creator/RobertMorse as Grandpa, Creator/ChristineTaylor as Marilyn, and Matthew Botuchis as Eddie.
When the local villagers’ nightly assault on their castle home goes a little too far, the Munster clan decides it’s time to find a new place to live. After finding a mostly-burned letter from Herman’s niece Marilyn during their escape, they take the small amount of information they can make out as an invitation to come live in Mockingbird Heights, California.
Unfortunately, something is rotten in Mockingbird Heights. Marilyn’s father has gone missing, her mother is catatonic, and a mysterious local congressional candidate is pledging to make things ''very'' hard for immigrants. With their sponsors out of commission and their stay on American soil in jeopardy, the Munsters have to fit in the best they can while they try to uncover what happened to Norman Hyde.
----
!!Tropes:
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Norman had shades of this. In his video journal, after making a formula he intends to give Marilyn to fix her appearance, he decides to stop for a coffee break…and immediately downs the formula he just made.
* AdaptationalNonsapience: The clock raven this time around is just a mechanical bird that pops out and squawks “Nevermore” to mark the hour, showing none of the original series raven’s snide and snarky personality.
* AshFace: Happens to the xenophobic man at the airport when he gets a little too nosy about the crate Spot was shipped to the States in.
* BlankSlate: Jekyll is one, which his campaign manager believes makes him the ultimate politician, as he'll say whatever he's told to and has no past that could come back to derail his career.
* BloodierAndGorier: Not by much and it‘s PlayedForLaughs, but the scene of Grandpa taking the top of Elsa’s head off to check on her brain is probably the most innards ever seen in the franchise to date. Also, Grandpa is shown actually drinking blood onscreen for the first time.
* BookcasePassage: The Munsters escape the mob through a fireplace variant, which is activated by pulling on the jaw of the mantelpiece gargoyle.
* ChekhovsGun: The business card Ralph gives Herman after giving the family a lift eventually inspires an elsewhere unsuccessful Herman to seek employment at the funeral parlor.
* CorruptPolitician: Jekyll, who is mainly a puppet for his even more corrupt campaign manager.
* DirtyCop: Detective Warshowski, who has deliberately stalled the investigation into Norman’s disappearance because he knows exactly where Norman is and is in on the plan to get Brent Jekyll elected to Congress, with the goal of one day being head of the FBI.
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Herman tells Lily he doesn’t see any reason to leave Transylvania, right before being met with a missile through the window courtesy of the mob outside.
---> '''Herman''': On the other hand, I don’t see the harm in seeking a new home.
* ImpactSilhouette: Herman’s perfectly fine after he gets hit by a car, but the car has a head-shaped dent in the grille.
* JekyllAndHyde: Norman is an interesting variation as Hyde is the original identity and Jekyll is the formula-induced persona.
* MadScientist: Norman Hyde, and he has the EinsteinHair and secret lab to prove it.
* MadeOfIron: Herman, per the norm.
* MonochromeToColor: The film starts off in black and white to match the scenes from ''Film/Frankenstein1931'', before switching to color shortly after showing Herman’s face for the first time.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: The immigration official at the airport states this after Grandpa gives the old “I just flew in…” line. Grandpa’s a little offended because he was being quite literal.
* NightmareFetishist: Mrs. Hersby. After a few drinks, she’s slipping her arms into the restraints on Grandpa’s electric chair with a steamy look on her face and flirting with Herman.
* NosyNeighbor: Mrs. Dimwitty. She’s introduced doing yard work with her Neighborhood Watch armbands on and a pair of binoculars around her neck. The second the Munsters show up, she’s in their yard, peering through the windows, and starts snooping around their house the second she’s invited in.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: As opposed to the original series, where it was close to an InformedAttribute, Eddie actually transforms into a [[WolfMan Wolf Boy]] who seems to operate on ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangface}}'' rules, as his transformations are triggered by both a projector slide of a full moon and a moon-print beach ball.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Detective Warshowski and Mr. Walker, who both hate all immigrants with a vengeance and plan to eventually take Brent Jekyll all the way to the White House on an anti-immigration platform.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Detective Cartwell, who sees the Munsters for the mostly harmless, loving family they truly are and tries to help the best he can, despite his parter's best efforts.
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: In the original series, Marilyn is stated more than once to be the daughter of an unnamed sister of Lily’s. Here, she’s the daughter of Herman’s sister, Elsa.
* RemakeCameo: Yvonne De Carlo, Al Lewis, Pat Priest and Butch Patrick appear as a family having lunch at the restaurant where Herman has his first job as a waiter. They even order things that call back to their roles on the original show.
