'Mockingbird Lane': Welcome Home, Herman Munster

HuffPost TV has another exclusive sneak peek at Bryan Fuller's "Munsters" reboot, "Mockingbird Lane," and this one gives us a very close look at Jerry O'Connell's version of Herman Munster.

In the exclusive sneak peek above, you'll see some tips of the hat to the original series, all made even glossier with Fuller's signature style. When Herman, Eddie (Mason Cook) and Marilyn (Charity Wakefield) arrive at their new Mockingbird Lane home, there's a grand entrance and a nice surprise for them waiting under the staircase. Naturally.

"Mockingbird Lane" will air a special Halloween movie on Fri., Oct. 26, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, with the option for the pilot to become a series.

Here's NBC's description of the Halloween special:

Buying a house these days is a nightmare, so Herman and Lily are shocked that no one scooped up the rambling Victorian mansion at 1313 Mockingbird Lane that was the site of a series of grisly hobo murders. Settling into their new place, they’re quickly onto the mission at hand: to gently ease Eddie into the reality of his werewolf adolescence. But it’s not always so easy to accept that your child is a little “different” from the rest of the kids. Meanwhile, Herman, who works as a funeral director, is suffering from a heart condition. Since he’s made up mostly of spare parts, he knew his makeshift heart would eventually give out. No worries though, because Grandpa, who is pretty good at procuring body parts, is on the case. All Herman cares about is finding a new heart with the same capacity to love Lily as much as he has for so many decades.
