Charles Addams’ (1912-1988) beloved darkly funny series of cartoons were adapted to this wonderful 1991 film.

Debuting in 1938, “The Addams Family” was a series of one-panel cartoons featured in The New Yorker magazine. It satirized the stereotypically idealized American family through the lens of a wealthy but macabre clan. The cartoon was the basis for a popular 1964 television series.

Raul Julia and Angelica Huston are terrific as Gomez and Morticia Addams, who joyfully welcome long-lost brother Fester (Christopher Lloyd) back home — unaware that he’s part of a scheme to steal the family’s fortune.

The film’s sets, costumes, props and even entire scenes were brought brilliantly to the film as inspired by both the cartoons and the TV show. This screening includes a family brunch, whose tickets must be purchased in advance.
