A blast from the past paid a special visit to the Hudson Valley on Thursday.

Child sitcom star and actor Butch Patrick visited the "Rock Fantasy" record and pinball arcade in Middletown to meet local residents, sign autographs and hand out memorabilia.

Patrick is best known for playing Eddie Munster on the hit TV show "The Munsters” in the mid-1960s.

"I worked for 14 years in the business. ‘The Munsters’ was perhaps my most identifiable part. And Eddie Munster is a great character. He brings a lot of joy to a lot of people. The show is very popular today. I am happy to have been a part of such an iconic show," Patrick, 70, says.

Patrick later went to a local bowling alley to kick off the Halloween season. He calls it "Summerween."
