He has since watched and discussed the film many times – to the point where he is not sure what he remembers and what he just thinks he remembers.

You will hear a similar story from Miko Hughes, who was just two when he played the knife-wielding undead toddler Gage Creed in the 1989 horror movie Pet Sematary. I am absolutely OK with always being him.”
EDDIE MUNSTER WOLFIE DOLL TV
Like, of all the thousands of TV shows on the airwaves, this show meant so much to so many people – and you get to be the recipient of their fondness and happiness on a daily basis.” Over the phone, Patrick’s practised answers to my questions are clipped and concise: after all, wouldn’t you tire of still being associated with a fictional child-werewolf you played 60 years ago? But Patrick doesn’t mind. And then they come and meet you and you get to share that memory with them. They have fond memories of watching TV with their loved ones. “I get to be part of so many people’s lives, in a good way. It is an unusual life, but one he is glad of. “I can’t believe how well that little werewolf teddy bear is remembered! I say he’s at home and well, but doesn’t like to travel, so I don’t bring him along.” “They always ask me where Woof Woof is,” says Patrick.
This is how Patrick makes a living: hawking autographs and gamely answering questions from the show’s army of ageing fans. When we speak, Patrick is driving to collect the trailer, which he affectionately calls the Munster Coach, before taking it to a meet-and-greet in St Clair Shores, Michigan. One of Patrick’s costumes sold for $1,880 (£1,300) in 2001, thus demonstrating the enduring appeal of the show. “I’ve found an interesting niche!” exclaims Patrick, 67, defanged and, to my great disappointment, no longer wearing a purple Little Lord Fauntleroy-style suit. Pay $13 for entry and audio recordings of Grandpa and Herman (the family’s Frankenstein’s monster patriarch) will guide you through the experience. Inside, it is rigged up to look like the inside of the family’s home, as well as Grandpa Munster’s laboratory. Patrick has converted a trailer into a Munsters-themed escape room. When you have been a spooky child on film or TV, where do you go? For the former child star Butch Patrick, best known for playing the baby-faced werewolf Eddie Munster in the 60s sitcom The Munsters, it is cross-country.
