Barry Sonnenfeld's 1991 big screen adaptation of The Addams Family ranks among the most popular and highly regarded TV-to-film adaptations, and has long endured as a frightful favourite among generations of viewers. Ahead of Halloween, we're peeking behind the veil of the ooky, spooky classic and sharing some cooky costume shots of its wickedly glamorous cast.
When long-lost Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) reappears after 25 years in the Bermuda Triangle, Gomez (Raúl Juliá) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) plan an extended Addams family celebration. But Wednesday (Christina Ricci) becomes increasingly suspicious of Fester's uncommonly "normal" behaviour and suspects a fraud. Is this Fester out to raid the Addams fortune - or is the family finally complete again?
With a perfectly-cast ensemble wrapped in a delightfully macabre aesthetic, it's easy to feel at home with The Addams Family. The gallery below contains a number of costume shots featuring Raúl Juliá, Anjelica Huston, Christina Ricci, and the extended Addams clan.
