Milton DeLugg & Orch(Epic 24125)-"Music For Monsters,Munsters,Mummies & Other TV Fiends"-LP. This vintage novelty LP features a Jack Davis art cover of The Munster Family.Tracks include The Munsters Theme,Theme For Dracula,Theme For Mummy,Outer Limits,Addams Family Theme,Theme For Creature From Under Sea,Theme For Thing,Bewitched,Ghost Meets Ghoul,King Kong Theme,Alfred Hitchcock Theme.One of two "monster spoof" sitcoms debuting during the 1964-1965 season, CBS's The Munsters premiered September 24, 1964, one day before ABC's The Addams Family, and was canceled after two seasons on September 1, 1966 -- one day before The Addams Family. Filmed at Universal, The Munsters took advantage of that studio's stable of copyright horror movie "stars," reconfiguring them in a farcical fashion. A crumbly old mansion at 1313 Mockingbird Lane was the home of Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne), a seven-foot-tall dead ringer for the Frankenstein monster, right down to the flat head and bolts in the neck. Herman's spouse, Lily (Yvonne de Carlo, top-billed because of her stellar film career), was a cross between Elsa Lanchester's Bride of Frankenstein (note that white streak in her black tresses) and TV horror-show hostess Vampira (note the garish makeup, chalk-white face, and flowing, tattered gowns). Lily's grandfather Grandpa Munster (Al Lewis), a 350-year-old vampire who looked like a desiccated Count Dracula (and who, true to his batlike heritage, slept upside down, hanging by his heels) was a genially mad scientist -- he had "built" Herman centuries before -- whose various laboratory concoctions tended to blow up in his face. Rounding out the Munster clan was Herman and Lily's son, Eddie, a ten-year-old werewolf (but a nice one), and their gorgeous niece Marilyn, the only normal-looking member of the family -- who conversely regarded herself as abnormal and blamed herself whenever her potential boyfriends fled in terror after meeting the rest of the Munsters. Though the family spent most of their time around the house, tending to such family pets as their dragon, Spot, Herman had to make a living, so he worked as general labor at the Gateman, Goodbury & Graves funeral home. Despite his fearsome appearance, Herman was a gentle, timid, childlike soul; similarly, the rest of the Munsters were basically good-natured and goodhearted, though their personal habits and tastes were macabre to say the least.The LP has been autographed on the front cover by Fred Gwynne in green,Al Lewis in black,Butch Patrick in pink,Yvonne DeCarlo in blue and Pat Priest in red.................CONDITION OF VINYL,COVER AND AUTOGRAPHS IS VG PLUS...........................
