It took 15 years to make a sequel to the first MUNSTERS movie(MUNSTER GO HOME) and this time they just get a made-for-TV deal which feels like an overly long episode of the show except in color. We get a new Marilyn(Jo McDonnell) and Eddie(K.C. Martel) which is very strange since everyone else is obviously older. Not particularly good but we do get to meet some of their extended family including cousin PHANTOM OF THE OPERA(Bob Hastings) and aunt Elvira The Witch(Anita Dangler)(which I think predates that other more famous baddie Elvira by a few months). The CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON shows up with a bunch of other monsters(including Tor Johnson!) but only in robot form to assist Sid Caesar as the evil Egyptian criminal mastermind trying to rob his brother, who's a mummy, of his ancient pendant. You'd be better off just going back and watching a few episodes of the original show for a few chuckles.
