The first presentation was 15 minutes long (later cut to just over 13 minutes) and was used to pitch the series to CBS and its affiliates. It was made in color, and though it never aired, it was re-shot and used as the basis for the episode, "My Fair Munster." The cast in order of appearance in the title sequence were: Joan Marshall as Phoebe (instead of Lily), Beverley Owen as Marilyn, Nate "Happy" Derman as Eddie, Al Lewis as Grandpa and Fred Gwynne as Herman. The same house (exterior) was used but before later changes were made to it to make it look more gothic and "spooky" (such as the addition of the tower deck and Marilyn's deck, a new coat of paint, and enlargement of the living room). Grandpa had the same dungeon. Herman did not have padding, and was broad but thin. The most noticeable difference was his somber expression, compared to his comical silliness during the series. Eddie was portrayed by Derman as a nasty brat. All characters, except Marilyn, had a blue/green tint to their skin. The title sequence had light happy music (picked up from the Doris Day movie, The Thrill of it All) instead of the more hip surf theme that was to come. This pilot is NOT a full episode, so after Grandpa's scenes in the lab, it just ends.[Movie]
