In time for Halloween, Butch Patrick looked back at his time bringing 'The Munsters' to life.

Probably [makeup artist] Mike Westmore because he was the first guy you'd see in the morning. And, you know, I was very enamored with the whole makeup process. Plus he was a handsome young guy who was a bachelor and drove a Jaguar, so I looked up to him. But as far as the cast goes, I would say Al Lewis.

Al Lewis and Butch Patrick working on an engine together in a scene from the television series 'The Munsters', circa 1964.It’s hard to say because something fun was always happening. On Monday morning we would read our scripts casually without makeup and I would just laugh because you could just envision how the episode was going to be. And it was always really funny when we had to act it out. Honestly, those are the memories that really stick out to me.

American actor Butch Patrick as Eddie Munster in the TV comedy horror series 'The Munsters', circa 1965.You know, that’s just how Hollywood is. You get a script, you do a series and get to work with a cast that becomes a family unit. You all work closely for some time. And then it’s over. Everybody goes back to their lives. An acting career is a really unique situation. It’s basically a series of temporary jobs and you get used to it.

You go in, do your job, and when it’s over, you move on to the next job. You get used to the fact that you’re not going to be together for very long. But I will say that in this set, there was a very believable family unit beyond the makeup and special effects because it was genuine. And I think that’s what made the show so successful.Not immediately after. I was a 12-year-old kid and everybody went back to their adult lives. I went back to junior high school.

American actors Fred Gwynne as Herman Munster and Butch Patrick as Eddie Munster in the TV comedy horror series 'The Munsters', circa 1965.When it comes to classic TV shows about families, you have"Leave It to Beaver" and"Father Knows Best," just to name a few. Why do you think people resonated with"The Munsters," a completely different kind of family?For starters, we had good talent. We also had good scripts. But people were also very entertained.
