If you recognize the famous Mockingbird Heights address, you probably grew up in the 1960s and never missed a chance to see the Munsters, the working stiffs (get it?) of ghouls. Now it’s time to rediscover Herman and Lily, Grandpa, Eddie, and Marilyn (the 'ugly one') in this entertaining, comprehensive look at the first family of fright. A complete episode guide makes The Munsters the must-have companion to watching the series on DVD or cable, while hundreds of rare photographs from the archives of Universal Studios plus interviews with cast and crew reveal the deepest, darkest secrets of the Munster family. This completely revised and updated edition of a hotly collected book lets all of us pay one more visit to a cult classic!

Rating: - A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane
The Munsters was one of the greatest shows on television. It brought together fans of both the old Universal Monsters and situational comedy. Why it only lasted two seasons is anyone's guess (even the author questions this perplexion).
This book brings together the history of The Munsters. From concept to filming to cancellation. It even features the continuing history such as the theatrical and TV movies, along with the reinvention of "The Munsters Today." It contains biographies ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderfully Detailed Tribute To Television's First Family Of Fright
Having recently acquired this wonderful book by author Stephen Cox titled "The Munsters: A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane", as well as the recently released Two Seasons of the classic series on DVD, I once again never fail to marvel at this brilliant and totally original series that ran from 1964-66.

Rating: - The Munsters A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane
This was a terrific book and provided detailed information about the show that took a lot of research. It was equally as entertaining. I would highly recommend that Munster fans (young and old). Illustrations are wonderful.
Rating: - A Book with Bite!!!
WOW, what an incredible book. This is just everything you need and want to know about the Munsters TV show. It has it all and doesn't skip a beat.

Let me also say what a fabulous job of how the book was designed. Color photos and behind the scene shots thru out the book. These are ... Read More
Rating:  - I Still Don't Believe Butch Patrick was Born in 1953
A TRIP DOWN MOCKINGBIRD LANE is exactly that: a compilation of recollections from cast and crew that more or less leave a good feeling about the show and is akin to an album a family might collect in time for a reunion. There are no major revelations in this publication; stories are repeated throughout and must be fan favorites that folks enjoy being told again and again.
There are hints about Patrick Lily (better known as Butch Patrick) and his behavior on the set. There is mention of ... Read More
