THE ADDAMS FAMILY

Being October the Halloween dominated month, I'm posting a few of my favorite Halloween-themed things!
First off, here's a big Trick-or-Treat type of entertainment: Charles Addams' comic creation: THE ADDAMS FAMILY, which has undergone many versions, reboots and transformations.









                                                                                                                                                                               





My favorite, (after the original series published in the pages of the NEW YORKER magazine, from 1938 to 1988, the year of Charles Addams' death), is the 1964 TV series starring Carolyn Jones and John Astin which featured Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester and Ted Cassidy as Lurch.




There were several other versions, including an animated series in 1973 and a computer-animated film in 2019...but none of those could capture the zaniness and surreal humor of the original series.

Anyway, here we have some memories from the many Addams Families!

 

THE ADDAMS FAMILY THEME SONG
Vic Mizzy

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're altogether ooky,
The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum
When people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.

[snap twice]
(Neat)
[snap twice]
(Sweet)
[snap twice]
(Petite)

So get a witch's shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family.
