Straszne małe święta Munsterów

Unlike Here Come the Munsters (1995), a prequel and the first Munster film of the 1990s, which I really enjoyed, I have to say that the immediate follow-up The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas (1996) is weak. Instead of the filmmakers building on the success of the new cast and repositioning the phenomenon into a new decade, everything good that was done was destroyed in this debacle and they started from scratch again. The reasons for this move may have been varied, but they did the Munsters no favors, as evidenced by another 16 years of silence during which no one showed any interest in the brand. This is a huge shame, because the Munster concept is absolutely ideal, but each generation has to figure it out for itself. In this Christmas nonsense, perhaps the only pleasing thing is the final party, which was attended by every conceivable classic movie monster, including Rosemary and her baby. Otherwise, it's a generic Christmas mistake, of which dozens are made every year. (01.04.2022)
