When you think of "cash-in" records... you think of low budget labels, but this is a big boy doing the shill. Jack Marshall did The Munsters theme, but sans Jack Marshall on this LP; he was on Capitol. So what does Decca do? Get a group to sing horror pop novelty numbers, name them "The Munsters" and plaster a photo of The Munsters on the front of the record.
"Munster Creep" is probably the winner of the vocal cuts. The instrumental songs aren't too bad though... kinda a middle ground between a Hanna Barbera cartoon and those Power Frankie Stein & The Ghoul LP's. "Eerie Beach" is probably the winner of the instrumentals... with an exotica tinge, almost Martin Denny-esque "Quiet Village" vibe.
