Rob Zombie had recently announced that original “The Munsters” star Pat Priest is in his upcoming The Munsters movie, and another star from the original show is also on board.
Announced by Zombie today, Butch “Eddie Munster” Patrick is part of the upcoming movie’s cast, playing a character from the original television series named Tin Can Man!
“Get ready for some robot fun,” Zombie teases on Instagram, showing off a photo of Tin Can Man in the movie alongside an image of the character from the classic TV series.
“Tin Can Man” was the title of the show’s seventh episode back in 1964, which centered on a robot that Eddie and Grandpa Munster made together for a school science fair.

Jeff Daniel Phillips is playing Herman Munster and Sheri Moon Zombie is playing Lily Munster in Zombie’s movie, with Daniel Roebuck co-starring as Grandpa Munster.
Richard Brake (31, 3 from Hell) is playing Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang. Catherine Schell (“Space: 1999,” The Return of the Pink Panther) is playing “Zoya Krupp the gypsy queen.”
Dee Wallace, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson and Jorge Garcia will also star.
If you want to revisit the original series, “The Munsters” is streaming on Peacock. That series ran for just two seasons between 1964 and 1966, spawning several feature films and a sequel television series titled “The Munsters Today” (1988 – 1991). Most recently, Bryan Fuller’s “Mockingbird Lane” reimagined the series for NBC, but never made it past a pilot episode.
