![]() As she quips to Gomez in Values, she’s just like any modern woman trying to have it all: “A loving husband, a family”. The Addams Family, and especially Values, forces us to consider: what is weird? Is it unusual for two parents to be madly in love and want to shag and kiss and complement each other all the time? Sure, but does that mean it’s wrong? As obsessed with maintaining her appearance as any housewife, Morticia is always pictured as a tall, glamorous, put-together woman in her signature floor-length dress. Gomez and Morticia’s love is still enviable. While The Addams Family were created the better part of a century ago, it still sadly rings true. By the inversion logic, we can understand that this makes him the opposite to a “normal” husband. Meanwhile, the kids are at summer camp, where they scheme to rescue their uncle.ĭevilishly handsome (an “acquitted lady killer”), Gomez is not just devoted to Morticia, but to his entire family. When they employ a nanny, Debbie (Joan Cusack), Fester falls madly in love with her – but all isn’t as it seems, as she wants to steal his fortune, separate him from his family, and murder him. The family are welcoming (or in the children’s case, rejecting) a new baby boy. Ī sequel to The Addams Family with the same star-studded cast, including Anjelica Huston as Morticia and Raul Julia as Gomez, Values took the framework of the 1991 live-action movie to new heights. Now, with Halloween here, it’s the perfect time to revisit one of, if not the, all-time greatest Addams Family movie of all time: 1993’s Addams Family Values. Their impact has been widespread, even influencing goth culture at large. Originally a one-panel cartoon running in the New Yorker, the Addams Family has been hugely influential – spawning TV series, films, books, and video games. A wealthy clan living in a big, dark, gothic house, they are obsessed with all things macabre. ![]() When cartoonist Charles Addams created the fictional family in 1938, he dreamed them up as a “satirical inversion” of the ideal American household.
