When Chuck and Sandra McKee imagined their dream home in Waxahachie, Texas (pop. 21,246), they pictured a living room with an electric chair, a revolving suit of armor leading to a secret room, and a pet dragon named Spot living under the staircase. The two made that dream a reality in 2001 when they built a replica of the Munster Mansion, the home featured on their favorite TV showThe Munsters.
Each year since, the couple has added furnishings and details to ensure each room looks just as it did on the 1960s sitcom that showcased the home life of a family of monsters.
My daughter thinks we go a little overboard, says Sandra, 51, but if youre going to do it, you might as well do it all the way.
Of course, the McKees dont just keep their tribute to the classic TV show to themselves. In years past, theyve opened up their 5,825-square-foot home to fans and cast members of the show to share their passion and raise money for various charities.

Lost In Space. Figure it’d make a nifty landmark, and there always seemed to be plenty of room downstairs...

No mention of that. By the way, the Munsters did have a pet named spot, but he wasnt a dog.

Stringfellow Hawke's cabin.
Or Jim Rockford's trailer, if I can have the gold Firebird to go with it.
Wonder if the family's working on a Munster Mobile.

True. But I just want to know if they have pets. If so, They are little too fanatic. OTOH, they are great to get burglers out of your house.

I live near this house. It looks really cool from the outside.
But the show The Munsters? Did anybody think that show was funny? I never laughed once.

IMO, it was one of the top 10 all-time best sitcoms.

The Munster House is still with us, at its actual location on Desperate Housewives’ Wisteria Lane. Several doors down from the Beaver’s home and Doc Welby’s old digs, Alfrie Woodward kept her homicidal son locked in its basement that season.
