That's not a misspelling - TV's way-out family, "The Munsters" help escort Santa Claus to New York to usher in the Christmas season. They drive down Broadway in their $20,000 "Munstermobile" hot rod racer that groans on all six-cylinders, but gets only three miles to the ghoulin. Featuring Fred Gwyne and Al Lewis (both in Munsters makeup). High school marching girls. People in the crowd, a little child sitting on the shoulders of a parent. Clowns. Little boy on the shoulders of a parent. Float from Radio City Music Hall. Kids sitting on the sidewalk. The Big Bad Wolf marching in the parade. Donald Duck inflated huge balloon. Humpty Dumpy. Town car of the "Munsters" The motor of the car and the hood ornament, a spider web and spider in the car window. The Munster Family Crest on the door of the car. Fred Gwyne and Al Lewis in makeup. The parade crowd with balloons held by strings. Santa Clause and his house, Santa waving to all the people.
