Watch: The cast of The Munsters movie is unveiled

Director Rob Zombie has shared an update to his upcoming movie remake of the classic 1960s sitcom The Munsters.

Taking to his Instagram on Monday, Zombie revealed three of the cast members in front of the iconic Munster mansion.

"Since Halloween is rapidly approaching I thought it was the perfect time to MEET THE MUNSTERS!" he wrote in the post's caption.

"Direct from the set in good old Hungary I present Herman, Lily and The Count sitting in front of the newly completed 1313 Mockingbird Lane."

Alongside the wide shot of the cast and set, Zombie also included three close-ups of Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman Munster, Sheri Moon Zombie as Lily Munster and Dan Roebuck as Grandpa Munster.

Zombie first announced the project in June, on which he also serves as a writer.

Like the series on which it is based, the upcoming film will focus on a family of friendly monsters as they move from Transylvania and learn to adjust to life in the American suburbs.

The director has been keeping his fans in the loop with regular updates on the set construction over the past few months, from blueprints and an empty lot to the finished neighbourhood at the end of last month.

He also shared insight into the costume designs, props and hair as well as prostheses.

Zombie's fans have been getting excited over this film with one writing: "I can't wait to take my son to see the movie in theaters! He is going to LOVE IT!"

Another person wrote: "I am so excited for this". A third added: "I haven’t been this ready for a movie to come out in A LONG time. Can’t wait for this."

The Munsters was already revived twice before to limited success. In the late-'80s and early-'90s, a revival series titled The Munsters Today aired for three seasons while in 2012 NBC aired the pilot for a show called Mockingbird Lane that was never picked up for a series order.
