Filmmaker and musician Rob Zombie has been sharing plans for his upcoming release, the big-screen adaptation of “The Munsters.”

Since announcing the news via his Instagram page on June 7 that he would be writing and helming the film based on the ’60s sitcom about a family of friendly monsters, Zombie has revealed that he will be constructing all of Mockingbird Lane.

Earlier, he posted the blueprint for the Munster Mansion and the construction plan, complete with measurements and stylistic notes. He wrote, “The blueprints are done! Time to start the construction. Get ready for the most perfect Munsters house since 1964. I want this thing exact.”

His most recent insight showed a dirt road in Budapest, Hungary where the production is being filmed. The original Munsters house used in the 1964-66 series, located at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, was an exterior set at Universal Studios.
