The Addams family exposed the tyrranny of normality and societal conformity and gives the oddity a breathing space. And the love between Morticia and Gomes is a couple goal everyone should strive for to have.
I mean, has she NEVER been bullied ever for being different? The most normal looking people are the WORST IRL. This isn't a new thing. Anyone who thinks evil people look evil hasn't yet lived.
Gomez and Morticia is the purest and best relationship there is. Also if I recall there was originally a plan to make a third movie in this series, but sadly the actor who played Gomez died after the second one.
An interesting note is that the Addams Family was designed to be the opposite of the stereotypical family, but part of that is a husband and wife who absolutely love and respect each other.
Ya way back when the regular comics like Andy Capp had he and his wife routinely exhibiting verbal and physical abuse the Addams Family were loving and kind, weird, but they truly loved each other. Same when in the 1960's The Addams Family TV program came out. At the time The Honeymooners was one of the most popular programs on TV with Ralph and Alice constantly verbally abusing and threatening one another. Then Mortica sashays in with Gomez worshipping her every step which turned that whole trope on its head.
Not quite; it's more that they *are* a normal family, but through the lens of the spooky and macabre. They're loving, supportive parents in a nuclear family -it just so happens that they're 'creepy and kooky' or whatever The whole 'a happy couple are the opposite of normal' thing is something I've only seen popularised since an interest post that's since been perpetuated. Would be cool if anyone could find a source for it; I have looked.
@@caitlin329 You can't really 'source' artistic interpretation. I do disagree that the Addams were the opposite of a stereotypical family. But you can't deny that at the time of the Addams inception the nuclear family had dominant husbands and more subservient housewives like Leave it to Beaver, Brady Bunch, etc. The familial dynamics of the Addams were much more equalized than the norm at the time. There were also episodes (the 60's series) when their kids would do 'normal' things which upset the parents but they were still supportive like when Pugsley joined the boy scouts (if I remember correctly). This also runs counter to the expectation of obedient children.
I’ve always seen the Addamses in contrast to another fictional monster family, The Munsters. The Munsters were desperate to assimilate, to fit in to modern American society. Despite being different, they want to belong. Every Addams, on the other hand, does not care about fitting in, they are simply themselves wherever they go. If you look past the creepy, kooky nature of them, they are a fantastic model for a family. Love each other, be there for one another, and be yourself.
This and the sequel are the quintessential Addams Family movies. Christina Ricci IS Wednesday Addams and her lines are even better in Addams Family Values. For better or for worse, I will always associate Addams Family with MC Hammer.
😨"Wait a minute!" 🤣🤣🤣 The man riding in the miniature train is director Barry Sonnenfeld 😉 Gomez wrecking model trains as stress relief is hilarious! I love that the kids know which trains he's playing with and what tracks he's running just by the way the house shakes.
This movie was a love letter to the source material of the Addams Family, aka the newspaper comic and the 60s TV sitcom. There are so many great little moments. For example, you looked confused when Morticia was cutting the roses off and keeping the stems. Every version of Morticia loves her flowers and working on her plants. However, in the TV sitcom, we're told that Gomez is allergic to roses. So she still grows them but only displays the thorny stem to protect Gomez. ❤ I also love the scene where Fester is unpacking and Morticia says to him. "Cyanide? As if we'd ever run out." This joke comes from a comic panel in which Morticia has gone to the neighbor's house to ask if she can borrow a cup of cyanide, much like one would to borrow a cup of sugar. 😅 When Gomez goes to collect the monthly expenses for Tully, you hear a lion roar, and Gomez says, "Down, Kitty!" In the TV sitcom the family has a pet lion named Kitty. 🦁 Speak of which, the book that opens the secret passageway to the vault is titled Greed, but below it also names JP Addams as the author. It is a subtle nod to JP Morgan, who was known as a ruthless banker during the guilded age. Fan sites, however, have given this Addams' ancestor his own lore and his gruesome demise. 💰 Any scene you see of the front porch of the Addams' mansion shows signs of where they dumped the tar from the opening scene. So yes, they really did tar those carolers.⚫️ This is my opinion but the scene where Morticia reads to the children and then makes them cry about the poor witch dying I think is akin to the first episode of the TV sitcom in which little Wednesday comes home from her first day of school absolutely heartbroken because her class was read a book in which a knight slayed a dragon. "That poor dragon." Aghast Morticia and Gomez confronted the principal about reading a book about promoting violence towards someone or something simply because they are different or scary. 🐉 It is a long-running gag in all versions of the Addams Family that Fester has a type of electric power or electric current running through him. He often did the light bulb trick on the TV show, and they also showed him using it on the newer Wednesday. 💡 This movie and its sequel also set the precedent that Wednesday is older than Pugsley. In the TV sitcom, Pugsley was the older brother and was a character quite known for being a mad scientist/crazy inventor. Wednesday, on the other hand, was a character that liked drama and theater and was very much into learning new things, which suits the Hamlet scene they perform in the movie and a play performed in the sequel.
When there was a pitch for a 3rd movie Angela Houston (Morticia) was approached. She said NOT without my Gomez. The actor Raul Julia had passed away. 💔😢
The whole point of the Addams family is that they're "ugly", weird and creepy on the outside, and beautiful on the inside, unlike "beautiful" people who are the exact opposite many times. They all love and support each other whatever happens in a way most "normal" families can only dream of.
If everyone's family was like the Adams Family, the world would be a better place. I see absolutely nothing wrong with any of the Adams. Well, the only issue I have is that food....lol.
1:35 The answer to your question is yes...they are a Supernatural mix of different IMMORTAL monsters. 'Mortisha' (The Mother) is the most powerful Witch that ever Existed and used her magic to make them ALL IMMORTAL and Eternal (They can never die or be injured). 'Gomez' (The Father) is a Vampire (Now Immortal even from Sun-Light), 'Wednesday' (The Daughter) is a Witch, 'Pugsley' (The Son) is a Werewolf, 'Fester' (The Uncle) is a Zombie, 'Thing' (The hand) is a GHOST that has been tethered to it's Zombie-Hand by magic, 'Lurch' (The Butler) is a "Frankenstein's Monster", Cousin 'IT'......(The Cousin) is a.........Hairy Goblin? (or something like that)...oh and the Grandmother (I forget her name) is a Witch too
@@LeChaunce Never got "Drunk", "High" or "Stoned" in my whole Life and never will...it's a shame you're weak and not as strong as me currently but don't give up it's never too late to change buddy. Don't do drugs
Charles Adams' description of Morticia Addams: "The real head of the family... low-voiced, incisive and subtle, smiles are rare... ruined beauty... contemptuous and original and with fierce family loyalty... even in disposition, muted, witty, sometimes deadly..." Oh, to find a woman like Morticia!
@@NiaMakiReacts After all, who wouldn't want to be an Addams? Cristina Ricci will forever be Wednesday Addams--no one else comes close. We're going to play a game called...is there a God? and...Are they made from real girl scouts? Priceless
Yeah the first one is the perfect Halloween movie and the second one a clear Thanksgiving movie. Shame we didn't get a third one, if the patterns hold it could've been a good Christmas themed movie.
A word of advice: when watching "The Addams Family", avoid logic. Our family, loved the series when it was on; and we were excited about this movie, if a little trepidatious. We loved it too. I remember a review and one of the comments was something like: "Morticia and Gomez, whispering sweet nothings to each other in a graveyard, are the last happily married couple in America." Fester is Christopher Lloyd. If you watched "Back to the Future", for sure you know him. Our generation delighted in his regular role as Reverend Jim in "Taxi", a burnout, eccentric and mind-dulled from addictions, but absolutely sweet. Here is one of his most famous scenes from that series: ua-cam.com/video/piPz1prPrzs/v-deo.html Angelica Huston, who played Morticia, is the daughter of legendary director John Huston, who was the son of legendary actor Walter Huston. When she was approached to play this role, she was a little nervous. "Who is our Gomez?" She asked, and when she heard that Raoul Julia was the choice, her eyes lit up. Julia was primarily a stage actor, but we're luck to have him on film so we can appreciate his enormous talent. He was already ill when they worked on the sequel to this movie, and his death stopped a third entry with this great cast. Always read the credits: you'll get to know the names and associate them with their work and their faces. You'll get to know the names of the people who designed the costumes, edited the final product, composed the music, so that as you watch more, the names will become familiar to you.
This and the sequel are two of the very few movies I'd call 'perfect'. There is no way to make them any better than they are. Even after 30 years, I watch them regularely.
0:59 Either they're warding invaders away from their home as in the old days, or they're inviting everyone to join into their own form of Christmas fun.
So like Gomez and Morticia are literally like the best parents. Are they creepy and cooky? Absolutely. But they are constantly supporting their children's endeavors, taking interest in their interests, going to their school plays, constantly praising and showing them affection.
A man of that age doing flips is not impossible at all. You ever hear of the kids show Lazy Town? the main guy of it, who also wrote the show, who played a super hero on it, even in his 40's is a better athlete then professional Olympic athletes half his age lol. While most men wouldn't be doing backflips in their 40's it's not impossible, some absolutely can.
My girlfriend once told me I reminded her of Gomez a few years back, which is a bit funny because she reminded me of a less goth Morticia for a while before that. We're getting married within the next few years when we feel it's the right time. I like watching these reaction videos because its nice to see these movies get the praise they deserve, and it's a nice bonus to see people reacting to a relationship not too dissimilar from my own and call it a dream scenario. Makes my day.
I have always believed that some marriage counselor should write a book discussing Morticia and Gomez's relationship and how to make your marriage more like theirs. Ive been married 18 yrs, i would ❤ for us to bemore like them 😍 To quote Deadpool "My crazy matches your crazy." 😍😍😍😍
The Bermuda Triangle still has mysterious disappearances and events happen all the time, but also tons of planes and ships pass through that area daily and have no problems. Goes back to pirates and even Christopher Columbus passing through the area and having weird stuff happen . But yes, The Bermuda Triangle isn't the boogyman it used to be.
Fun, quirky for October: "Death Becomes Her" (1993) directed by Robert Zemeckis "Shadow of the Vampire" (2000) "Sleepy Hollow" (1999) directed by Tim Burton "Tremors" (1990) "The Mummy" (1999) "Mary Reilly" (1996) "Hotel Transylvania" (2012) "So I Married An Ax Murderer" (1993) "Army of Darkness" (1992) "Tucker and Dale Vs Evil" (2010) "Scary Movie" (2000) "Sweeney Todd" (2008) directed by Tim Burton "Underworld" (2003) "Hellboy" (2004 version) directed by Guillermo Del Toro "Van Helsing" (2004)
Lloyd also played a Klingon in "Star Trek 3: the Search for Spock" and Judge Doom in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." And there was a short-lived TV series in 1995 (13 episodes) called "Deadly Games," about villains from a video game who came to life. Lloyd played the final boss, Sebastian Jackal.
@@Tempest_Elixir Honestly, not really. It was one of those "so bad it's good" shows. I liked it, but then, I've also seen "Plan Nine from Outer Space" 8 times. 😂 Although there was one episode where the villain of the week was played by a very hammy Brent Spiner, which is worth a watch.
One of my favourite movies since I was a little kid and I'll never get tired of rewatching again and again. I love how despite being so "different" and "weird" compared to the rest of the world, they love and support each other no matter what. Also, one small correction: they're actually goth, not emo 😅 lol
Whether or not they are supernatural is intentionally ill defined for the sake of jokes. Its implied that they do seem to survive things that would be fatal, but we never REALLY see these things happen... so... its up to you to decide ;p
The Addams family was based on a comic strip by an artist known as Adams. This movie captures most the the family elements introduced in the comic. Cousin Itt (the hairy guy) plays more of a role in the animated films following this one; & I vaguely recall him more in the 1960s that introduced the theme song, & the 70s Halloween special that followed a similar plot.. Talking about creepy family genetics, I've been thinking about The Munsters, a 60s TV show on a rival network. While the Addams looked (mostly) human, the Munsters looked like classic monsters. Herman Munster is the Frankenstein creature ripoff. His wife Lili is the vampiress who may or may not be granddaughter of Count Dracula. Their oldest, a teenaged girl, looks normal to us so is ugly to them! Their youngest, Eddie, is a werewolf. I've been thinking about, & suspect it comes down to Herman being made from parts. Maybe a certain male part came from a werewolf. It was human when the daughter was made; wolf when the son was?
I love how "We gladly feast on those who would subdue us" is so American. Yes, don't subdue people. That's a basic right. It's a common curtesy. It's quite an easy thing to not do. Subdue people. Live and let live. I have no plans to subdue anyone this year. It's just a rude thing to do. I'd get along GREAT with the Addams's.
If you like this humor you can look up the source, the cartoons of Charles (Chas) Addams. He covered many subjects, and frequently included an eccentric family. He drew individual cartoons so there is no continuity or consequences; hence he could kill someone in one cartoon and have them reappear in another.
One of my few regrets from my time working at Blockbuster from 1995 to 2000 was that I was not on shift when Christina Ricci came through our store to rent a video.
Christopher Lloyd is a FN genius. amazing at everything he does. The whole cast blows me away. This is the one of the most perfectly cast perfectly written, scored..ect. movies, ever.
They never really say they are supernatural. They’re just very weird and dark. Even though it seems like nothing will kill them and they can do amazing feats of physicality. They’re not supernatural in the way that they aren’t vampires or anything like that that. That’s the Munsters. Haha
The face looks familiar to you ?--Christopher Lloyd (who plays Fester in this movie), also played doc Braun in back to the future and many other characters over the years. Don't try to understand too much about this movie--just assume that everything in this manor is weird. There is not more to understand. And if you don't already know, there is Addams family 2, different storyline, but the same family, dark humor. Remember the girl selling girl scout cookies, you'll her in part 2, with a bigger role.
This movie and its source material described the goth scene before there were goths. Smart, honorable, lovable people with a sick sense of humor who enjoyed scaring the shallow-minded squares.
Hi Nia , Love your reactions in the Addam's family I hope you watch the second movie. I was really cool to tell you, don't be jealous but I actually met the Adam's family cast like 2 weeks ago At LA comic con , Yep I actually met them and it felt wonderful to meet every single one of them, Wednesday palmsley , lurch, uncle fester, mortis , They all look older and I told that I loved their Adam's family wish they could have done a third movie but the actor who plays Gomez he passed away. But it was So cool to beat the Addam's family and back to the future.
I love this movie, and the sequel. I highly recommend chexking out a short lived independent series on UA-cam, Adult Wednesday Addams. The small crew that produced it came up with a great premise and honored the source material.
Technically they are supernatural, in that it's hypothesised they're under a curse that prevents the death of family members at the hands of other family members. Meaning, if you're in the Addams family, you won't die if another Addams does something to you, but someone outside the family can kill you. Consequently, that's where they get their enjoyment. You don't need to know that to have fun watching them, though.
Great reaction. I love both of these movies and the original tv series. And the Wednesday netflix series. Looking forward to your Addams Family Values reaction. And, If you didn't notice, every time that Morticia speaks French, that's Gomez's romance trigger. He can't help himself.
@NiaMakiReacts She's Cordy's blond friend that's just as toxic. She was in 2 episodes in season 1, the harvest(the pilot) and episode 11 with the ivisable girl. Makes some random appearances in each season.
More good Christina Ricci for October: "Sleepy Hollow" (1999) - directed by Tim Burton, music by Danny Elfman "Cursed" (2005) "Addams Family Values" (1993) Good Christopher Lloyd movies: "Nobody" (2021) "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" (1984)
I don't think it has been confirmed anywhere, but the headcanon seems to be that no Addams can harm another Addams. No matter what they do. They can harm themselves, and other people are able to as well, though it seems to be somewhat difficult.

I have always believed that some marriage counselor should write a book discussing Morticia and Gomez's relationship and how to make your marriage more like theirs.
Ive been married 18 yrs, i would ❤ for us to bemore like them 😍
To quote Deadpool "My crazy matches your crazy." 😍😍😍😍
The Bermuda Triangle still has mysterious disappearances and events happen all the time, but also tons of planes and ships pass through that area daily and have no problems. Goes back to pirates and even Christopher Columbus passing through the area and having weird stuff happen . But yes, The Bermuda Triangle isn't the boogyman it used to be.

07:46 that's Doc Brown from Back To The Future but he's not normally menacing in most of his characters
I'm so ashamed I didn't realize that was him smh. Of course!
Lloyd also played a Klingon in "Star Trek 3: the Search for Spock" and Judge Doom in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."
And there was a short-lived TV series in 1995 (13 episodes) called "Deadly Games," about villains from a video game who came to life. Lloyd played the final boss, Sebastian Jackal.
@@bobbuethe1477 great point about Judge Doom!
I'll be honest I'm unfamiliar with Deadly Games the show.
Would you recommend checking it out?
@@Tempest_Elixir Honestly, not really. It was one of those "so bad it's good" shows. I liked it, but then, I've also seen "Plan Nine from Outer Space" 8 times. 😂 Although there was one episode where the villain of the week was played by a very hammy Brent Spiner, which is worth a watch.
One of my favourite movies since I was a little kid and I'll never get tired of rewatching again and again.
I love how despite being so "different" and "weird" compared to the rest of the world, they love and support each other no matter what.
Also, one small correction: they're actually goth, not emo 😅 lol
The Addams Family isn't supernatural or anything.
The Addams Family simply is.
Just accept it.
Whether or not they are supernatural is intentionally ill defined for the sake of jokes. Its implied that they do seem to survive things that would be fatal, but we never REALLY see these things happen... so... its up to you to decide ;p
The Addams family was based on a comic strip by an artist known as Adams. This movie captures most the the family elements introduced in the comic. Cousin Itt (the hairy guy) plays more of a role in the animated films following this one; & I vaguely recall him more in the 1960s that introduced the theme song, & the 70s Halloween special that followed a similar plot..
Talking about creepy family genetics, I've been thinking about The Munsters, a 60s TV show on a rival network. While the Addams looked (mostly) human, the Munsters looked like classic monsters. Herman Munster is the Frankenstein creature ripoff. His wife Lili is the vampiress who may or may not be granddaughter of Count Dracula. Their oldest, a teenaged girl, looks normal to us so is ugly to them! Their youngest, Eddie, is a werewolf.
I've been thinking about, & suspect it comes down to Herman being made from parts. Maybe a certain male part came from a werewolf. It was human when the daughter was made; wolf when the son was?
I love how "We gladly feast on those who would subdue us" is so American.
Yes, don't subdue people. That's a basic right. It's a common curtesy. It's quite an easy thing to not do. Subdue people.
Live and let live. I have no plans to subdue anyone this year. It's just a rude thing to do. I'd get along GREAT with the Addams's.
I grew up watching the old tv show but I love these 2 movies.
Did you miss the "Are they made from Real Girl Scouts?" Joke? The most crucial one liner in the film? NOOOOOOOO!
If you like this humor you can look up the source, the cartoons of Charles (Chas) Addams. He covered many subjects, and frequently included an eccentric family. He drew individual cartoons so there is no continuity or consequences; hence he could kill someone in one cartoon and have them reappear in another.
I think this is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time
I loved the Adam’s family so much as a kid.
**Customary comment about immediately reacting to the even greater, and cultural gagfest subsequent movie**
One of my few regrets from my time working at Blockbuster from 1995 to 2000 was that I was not on shift when Christina Ricci came through our store to rent a video.
No no no. The Addams are extremely wholesome.
Christopher Lloyd is a FN genius. amazing at everything he does. The whole cast blows me away. This is the one of the most perfectly cast perfectly written, scored..ect. movies, ever.
Fester was played by Christopher Lloyd and he was Doc in all 3 Back To The Future movies.
Morticia Addams is hot! I think I had a crush on all of her versions... Great themes on here. Love is weird!
yo she is just a vibe! Hawt indeed!! I wouldn't know what to do about her😂
@@NiaMakiReacts No one could compete for her affections against Gomez. They were meant for each other.
The later Years seems to have been rough...but no matter, Happiness & Innocence is all that matters
I love the love in these movies
They never really say they are supernatural. They’re just very weird and dark. Even though it seems like nothing will kill them and they can do amazing feats of physicality. They’re not supernatural in the way that they aren’t vampires or anything like that that. That’s the Munsters. Haha
What most people do not tend to realise.
If Tully has asked Gomez for a loan he would have likely happily have given him the money.
I love the way you interact with the camera
If your relationship isn't like Gomez & Morticia, you're doing it wrong!
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
The face looks familiar to you ?--Christopher Lloyd (who plays Fester in this movie), also played doc Braun in back to the future and many other characters over the years. Don't try to understand too much about this movie--just assume that everything in this manor is weird. There is not more to understand. And if you don't already know, there is Addams family 2, different storyline, but the same family, dark humor. Remember the girl selling girl scout cookies, you'll her in part 2, with a bigger role.
*Doc Brown
This movie and its source material described the goth scene before there were goths. Smart, honorable, lovable people with a sick sense of humor who enjoyed scaring the shallow-minded squares.
I guess that in order to fit with the spooky season, a ghost decided to haunt the editing computer!
One of my fav. childhood movies!!! Good reaction.
thank you!!! this was so fun!
Hi Nia , Love your reactions in the Addam's family I hope you watch the second movie.
I was really cool to tell you, don't be jealous but I actually met the Adam's family cast like 2 weeks ago At LA comic con , Yep I actually met them and it felt wonderful to meet every single one of them, Wednesday palmsley , lurch, uncle fester, mortis , They all look older and I told that I loved their Adam's family wish they could have done a third movie but the actor who plays Gomez he passed away.
But it was So cool to beat the Addam's family and back to the future.
I love this movie, and the sequel.
I highly recommend chexking out a short lived independent series on UA-cam, Adult Wednesday Addams. The small crew that produced it came up with a great premise and honored the source material.
Was fun
Did you recognise the girl scout? You've seen her in a series that you're watching on Patreon.
The Addams Family exist in a cartoon world. The characters are whimsical and exaggerated. They're as supernatural as Daffy Duck.
#goals indeed.. 🥺
The Addams Family Is The Best 💯 Period, Great Reaction Sweetheart ❤ & Please Do The Sequel
6:02 🤣
Gomez's was so suave and smooth
Yeah eight year old me fell madly in love with Christina Ricci when this film came out. Hasn't abated in thirty years.
You should watch the sequel Addams Family Values!
I can't wait for you to watch the next one
same!!! I think I will have it done within the next week or two
Blood and donuts,a steven Croninburg film😊
Glad you enjoyed this. Maybe you should watch the sequel Family Values ? xx
feather is the actor form back to the future and some other characters . doc brown. look at the face and voice
Cousin Rizz in full effect.
All I want to know is why you asked "Where?" when Gomez says, "Seeing you like this, my blood boils."
37:34 have you seen Richie Rich with Macaulay Culkin?
That's a fun family movie with an amusing Fencing scene!
Also 37:56 Naughty Nia is always funny!
Technically they are supernatural, in that it's hypothesised they're under a curse that prevents the death of family members at the hands of other family members.
Meaning, if you're in the Addams family, you won't die if another Addams does something to you, but someone outside the family can kill you.
Consequently, that's where they get their enjoyment.
You don't need to know that to have fun watching them, though.
I'm not sure questions are the way to go with this movie
No one could beat Angelica Houston's version of Morticia, period.
The movie I grew up watching
Great reaction. I love both of these movies and the original tv series. And the Wednesday netflix series. Looking forward to your Addams Family Values reaction. And, If you didn't notice, every time that Morticia speaks French, that's Gomez's romance trigger. He can't help himself.
Please watch the second one next🙏
TV series was black and white. Give it a look
It looks like your recorded video was re-encoded without proper de-interlacing.
They're not super natural.
They're Loony Tunes. They die the same way Daffy Duck dies when he gets a shotgun blast in the face.
34:48 Harmony from Buffy the vampire slayer, if youve seen the show.
I'm currently watching Buffy right now!! Not sure if I've seen her yet though
@NiaMakiReacts She's Cordy's blond friend that's just as toxic. She was in 2 episodes in season 1, the harvest(the pilot) and episode 11 with the ivisable girl. Makes some random appearances in each season.
I’m confused what you were trying to say you were confused about them coordinating. I assume he was outside and heard when to say to knock at the door
If you want even more sexy fencing from around the same time period, The Mask of Zorro is a must watch!
Yes this was very good though the sequel addams family values i thought was even better.
smacks my tv
No tubes to jiggle anymore. 😂
More good Christina Ricci for October:
"Sleepy Hollow" (1999) - directed by Tim Burton, music by Danny Elfman
"Cursed" (2005)
"Addams Family Values" (1993)
Good Christopher Lloyd movies:
"Nobody" (2021)
"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" (1984)
Also for Christopher Lloyd: The Back To The Future Trilogy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Clue, and Star Trek III: The Search For Spock.
The second movie is actually better.
Theres a version staring tim curry
Hello Nia
Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called STEPHEN KINGS THINNER.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don't think it has been confirmed anywhere, but the headcanon seems to be that no Addams can harm another Addams. No matter what they do. They can harm themselves, and other people are able to as well, though it seems to be somewhat difficult.
The great aunt who was killed by her children does mess with that theory, but I still enjoy it.
@@LordVolkovI was going to say maybe because of the great-aunt. 😂
Dozens of planes and ships have gone missing in The Berumda Triangle. Granted they did not have todays navigation.
