Lockout Theater: Munster Go Home (1966)

In Technicolor - no black and white - the family inherits Munster Hall, an olde  British manor, which is actually the secret headquarters of a counterfeiting gang. Hermione Gingold, Terry-Thomas and John Carradine take turns trying to scare the Munsters into leaving, but it only makes them feel at home. With Richard Dawson, Cliff Norton and Robert (CHiPs) Pine. (Controversy Note: The part of Marilyn is played by Debbie Watson, rather than Pat Priest.) 

Herman wins a drag race and eventually subdues the bad guys by ring-tossing them with tires. Here's the trailer.

  1. And breaking news!! Apparently, your New York Yankees are looking to solve their shortstop woes by pursuing Isiah Kiner-Falefa of Texas.

    Hey, what's not to like? Eine Kleinehausmusik here is a former Gold Glove winner (at third base), and has hit 16 homers—in 392 major-league games.

    So, faced with a choice of signing one of the top stars in the game for only HAL's money, it looks like the Yanks...are going to deal prospects for a guy with all the power of Luis Aparicio. Hey, what would you do? If you were HAL?

    Of course it will work out. Look at how much Rougned Odor and Joey Gallo did for us last season; that Texas GM doesn't know what he's doing.

    And added bonus: Iwanna Kindafalafel is a righty!

    This off-season just gets better and better.

  2. Read it as "Munson, Go Home" and was really worried for a second.

  3. NYC Football Club is poised to bring a championship to the Bronx. If they can hold their 1-0 lead over Portland for roughly 30 minutes (penalty time so who knows?), Hal Steinbrenber's favorite team will win the MLS Cup. Let's Fuckin' Gooooooo....!!!

  4. Mind boggling choke by NYCFC. Blew it in penalty time. Tie game. Couldn't close it. Chapman was in goal, obviously.

  6. The NY soccer championship drought is over! Leaving only the baseball, hockey, football, basketball, and college basketball droughts!

  7. Oh, what a thriller! The lads will be careening drunkenly up and down Broadway all night tonight, or at least until the massive car parade out to the airport, to welcome our new champions home. It's a pity they don't have a nickname yet, but that's so very European, you know!

    Looks like ticker tape for Christmas! And you know the city is going to go mad for that celebration!

  8. Actually, it was a pretty exciting game. Save for the idiotic tiebreaker system.

  14. Well, for soccer. I mean, it was raining and there was a last-second goal and the fans seemed really exciting.

    I know. Not a Yankees World Series. But at least we have a title back in the Bronx!!
