From one classic TV house to another! On Saturday, you saw some fresh photos from Southfork Ranch, home of classic and even-not-so-classic "Dallas" TV action. Now, that same photog, author Brian Lombard, sends more photos of a TV variety, this time from an earlier decade. It's a recreated "Munsters" mansion, also located in Texas. You can learn more at the site's Facebook page. Looks like a whole lotta ghoulish fun ...
................
Waxahachie, Texas, just outside of Dallas, is home to a unique piece of pop culture history. The Munster Mansion, a meticulously re-created shrine to 1313 Mockingbird Lane, and the '60s TV series "The Munsters."
Created by mega-fan Sandy McKee and her husband Charles, the house revisits every room depicted on the series, which only ran for two seasons.
Unlike the recent "Brady Bunch" house renovation, which relied on actual Hollywood blueprints, the McKees created their dream house by simply watching the series, building the house from the ground up, and furnishing it to exacting standards.
A number of "Munsters" stars have visited the house since it was built more than 20 years ago, including "Grandpa" Al Lewis, Butch Patrick, and Marilyn #2, Pat Priest. The McKees hold regular charity events, which the stars have donated their time to.
For any "Munsters" fan, or fans of classic TV, it's well worth the detour on your next Texas road trip.
