A new set photo from Rob Zombie's The Munsters reveals a Hot Rod Herman costume. Earlier this year, Zombie confirmed he was working on an adaptation of the classic TV show of the same name that ran from 1964 to 1966. While the director and heavy metal musician's latest project does not have a definite release date, it will release to theaters and the Peacock streaming service once it's finished.
Zombie, an avid fan of the original series, has been keeping his fans updated on the progress of the reboot every step of the way. Recently, he shared an Instagram post with images of a complete 1313 Mockingbird Lane exterior, which is the famous house the original Munsters lived in. Additionally, Zombie took to Instagram last month to celebrate the 57th anniversary of the exact date that The Munsters first premiered on CBS, along with the caption, "The greatest show ever premiered today September 24, 1964!" Now, Zombie has a new update on his project that is sure to delight fans.
Zombie posted to Instagram a set photo from his upcoming The Munsters that reveals a Hot Rod Herman costume. The image shows the back of Herman's jacket that reads "The Punk Rods" across the back and looks identical to the one the character wore in the original series. Zombie followed the image up with the caption, "A sneak peek at a piece of Herman’s wardrobe. I am sure you Munster maniacs will recognize." View Zombie's set photo of Hot Rod Herman's costume below:

In the 1965 episode of The Munsters, titled "Hot Rod Herman," Herman Munster loses the iconic Koach vehicle during a bet. This prompts Grandpa Munster to build his own roadster, which he dubs the Drag-u-la, in an effort to win back the Koach. Herman then dons the "Punk Rods" jacket during the episode. It's clear that the entire episode left a huge impact on Zombie, which he would later feature in various ways throughout his many works. For instance, the episode is played during Zombie's first movie House of 1000 Corpses as an Easter egg. Additionally, the heavy metal musician's hit song "Dragula" is directly inspired by the Drag-u-la vehicle built by Grandpa Munster.
Given Zombie's continuous updates on the project, it's clear he holds the original show close to his heart. Sneak peeks like the set photo above prove that Zombie's reboot will faithfully follow the original series. While no release date is currently attached to The Munsters, fans of both Zombie and the original show can look forward to more updates from the project along the way.
