The first pilot was about 13 minutes long and was used to pitch the idea to CBS. It was filmed in actual color but was never aired on television. The house above was used for only the exterior shots and the interior was shot on an actual soundstage. The Munster house is actually just a shell.
The originally idea for the show was made up by animator Bob Clampett and was suppose to be a cartoon. In the 1940's he sent the idea to the studios only to never get a reply back from them. It wasn't until 1964 when Universal came up with a script and started airing the show with actual actors and cartoon was ruled out. The show ran until 1966 airing 70 episodes. Below are some more pictures of the house and the actors.
