Weary nation can rest easy knowing Butch Patrick will appear in Rob Zombie's Munsters
The original Eddie is back as the Tin Can Man in Rob Zombie's reboot

Since Rob Zombie announced his Munsters movie last summer, the world’s 7.7 billion people have held their breath. Living through a near-constant onslaught of environmental, financial, sociological, and political setbacks, they waited for the final shoe to drop, worrying that maybe, just maybe, Butch Patrick wouldn’t appear in The Munsters movie. Would Zombie really forget about the original wolf boy in his much-anticipated reboot?
Thankfully, director Rob Zombie doesn’t want to torture his audience with his first foray into family-friendly filmmaking. Today on Instagram, Zombie addressed concerns about Patrick’s role in the film, confirming he would, in fact, make an appearance as the Tin Can Man.
“Where’s Eddie you ask? Well, I’ll tell you!,” Zombie wrote on Instagram. “My good buddy [Butch Patrick] is now in The Munsters as The Tin Can Man. I am thrilled to have another original Munster in my new film. Get ready for some robot fun!”
The Tin Can Man is a robot invented by Grandpa Munster (Al Lewis) on the original TV show as an entry into Eddie’s science fair.
