Episode: “Munster
Masquerade”, in which the ultimate Halloween clan attends a masquerade party
and all of the party-goers believe The Munsters’ ghoulish visages are part of
their costumes. The series’ very first outing is quintessential Munsters, with
a bunch of boring straights getting freaked out by the family’s delightful
uniqueness and more comedic misunderstandings than a month of Three’s
Companies. Am I a weirdo for wishing I could live in that Munster mansion?
It’s luxuriously huge, full of ravens and dragons, and it’s always autumn
outside, with gusts sweeping dead leaves into the place every time someone
opens the front door. Sigh. Too
dreamy.
