What is The Addams Family About, Exactly?

when is the addams family movie on tv

The Addams Family revolves around Gomez Addams who wallows in the sorrow that his brother, Fester, has been absent since their falling out two years prior. A friend of Gomez, Tully Alford, attends a séance at the Addam’s residence to conjure Fester’s spirit. Tully is a con artist who owes a great deal of money to a woman named Abigail, whose son Gordon happens to look identical to Fester. Secretly—Gordon poses to be Fester to infiltrate the Addam’s household in order to steal their riches, so Tully can pay Abigail back.

With the return of ‘’Fester’’, Gomez is thrilled, and quickly brings him back into the family. Together again, the family spends ample amounts of time together, and “Fester” becomes very close to the Addams family. The family arranges an extravagant party to celebrate Fester’s return. The stress over stealing the family’s riches leads to fallout in the con artists relationships and their plans, causing backstabbing and death! Through this comedy horror film, the audience will see just how strong the Addams family is, and how hard it is to fool them out of their riches.

This movie from 1991 is not to be confused with Paramount’s upcoming animated Addams Family movie, which was announced back in 2010 via Deadline.

Addams Family Cast

The Addams Family movie cast was a huge hit for this movie, and a lot of the cast members are now very well-known for the roles they played in this film. To name a few: Anjelica Houston played Morticia Addams, the late Raul Julia played Gomez Addams, Christopher Lloyd (my personal favorite) played Uncle Fester Addams, and Christina Ricci played Wednesday Addams.

More About The Addams Family

The movie was filmed in 1991, and is based on the characters from the cartoon created by Charles Addams as well as the 1964 tv series produced by David Levy. The film was originally being produced by Orion Pictures, but while in production, the company had a financial decline and Paramount Pictures bought The Addams Family while still in production.

The main reason for the new production company was that the film went over budget due to being rewritten so many times during filming. While there were many obstacles during filming and during the release both domestically and internationally, The Addams Family did really well at the box office. It brought in around $200,000,000, making a huge profit.

This film became a cult-classic rather quickly and won many awards in the process. It was awarded the best horror film in 1991 by the Horror Hall of Fame. It even had a pinball machine created based on the movie, and it is the best-selling pinball machine ever.
