Butch Patrick is just like us–waiting until the week of to wrap up our holiday-related errands.
The 71-year-old TV icon, best known for his role as loveable werewolf Eddie Munster in over 70 episodes of the classic sitcom from the ’60s, was spotted by paparazzi in Los Angeles, Calif., earlier this week while apparently getting in some last-minute holiday shopping.

The new images, which were first obtained by the Daily Mail on Thursday, Dec. 26, show The Munsters alum rocking a black vest over a black graphic t-shirt, dark wash denim, some green slip-on Vans sneakers, and a pair of black shades as he shopped with an unidentified companion on Monday.

His last public photo-op before this most recent sighting appears to have been two months ago while promoting the horror film Terrifer 3.
Patrick–who got his start in Hollywood as a child and starred in popular programs like General Hospital and The Real McCoys before assuming the iconic role on the supernatural comedy alongside Fred Gwynne and Yvonne De Carlo–told Parade almost a decade ago that Halloween is his “busy season,” but simply glancing at his credits suggests he’s been fairly occupied regardless of what time of year it is.
Following the success of The Munsters, Patrick starred in several TV series and movies–Munster, Go Home!, Lidsville, My Three Sons, and Scary Movie to name a few–and made appearances in even more major titles, including I Dream of Jeannie, Gunsmoke, The Monkees, Shazam! and even The Simpsons.
Though he has scaled back his public appearances in recent years, he worked to produce two films in 2023 and has several upcoming projects in the works, per IMDb. Patrick also battled cancer and struggled with alcohol, both of which he’s discussed at length during different points in his career.
