Recently, and sort of oddly, it was announced NBC would be bringing THE MUNSTERS back, as PUSHING DAISIES creator Bryan Fuller is shepherding a visually striking and apparently much more dramatic take on the iconic 1960s comedy. Now, another Bryan has hopped to helm the pilot. 

Deadline reports that X-MEN and USUAL SUSPECTS director Bryan Singer with direct and produce the pilot of THE MUNSTERS, which sees "Grandpa Sam Dracula is essentially Dracula who assembled Herman because no man was good enough for his daughter Lily, a sexy vamp. Lily’s niece, Marilyn the freak, is actually normal and Lily and Herman’s only child, Eddie, has his werewolf tendencies surface in puberty, forcing the family to relocate to their famous 1313 Mockingbird Lane address."

Singer, I'm sure, can handle the material, but I'm still struck by how it seems they're attempting to nighttime soap THE MUNSTERS up. Are any of you excited? Dumbfounded?
