The Munsters ‘DRAG-U-LA’ at Retro Con 2022!
It’s a tight fit, but DRAG-U-LA is coming to Retro Con!!
This is the actual SCREEN-USED car used in the classic 1960’s TV series ‘The Munsters’, built from an authentic ornate coffin! On the show, the car was invented by Grandpa Munster so he could win back the Munster Koach, which Herman lost in a drag race in the episode “Hot Rod Herman”. The car was also prominently featured in the 1966 ‘Munster, Go Home!’ feature film.
DRAG-U-LA will be in back of the hall, right next to Eddie Munster himself- Butch Patrick! It will be available for photo ops at the show.
Meet Butch Patrick at Retro Con 2022!
“Eddie, stop biting your nails!”
We’re super excited to add actor Butch Patrick to our guest list for Retro Con 2022!
Butch is best known for playing Eddie Munster, the lycanthrope child of Herman and Lily, on the 60’s sitcom The Munsters! Though the series only ran two seasons, reruns of the show catapulted it to classic tv status loved by each new generation that discovers it, elevating the character of Eddie Munster to pop culture icon!
Butch has also been in numerous other productions in his long career, including playing lead character Mark in the trippy Sid & Marty Krofft show ‘Lidsville’, as well as appearances in The Phantom Tollbooth, Adam-12, The Untouchables, Family Affair, The Monkees, Shazam!, My Three Sons, The Simpsons (voicing himself!), and many many more.
Butch has been a staple at events for years and is extremely friendly to fans. Be sure to stop by his table in the guest section to say hi. Will he have Woof-Woof with him? Come and see!
Butch Patrick’s appearance at Retro Con is being sponsored by Monkee Mania Radio! Celebrating the music of The Monkees and so much more. We thank Jodi Ritzen very much for her generosity in bringing Butch to Retro Con!
