a.k.a The Addams Family Halloween Special (1978)
I never saw any of the original Addams Family show. Like most millennials, I grew up with the Christina Ricci movies and could’ve been happy with that forever. EXCEPT! In the family home video library, there was a blank tape. And on this blank tape, someone in my family, at some point before memory, had recorded Halloween with the New Addams Family. It’s creepy. It’s kooky. It’s positively spooky. The aliens tracking my development as a child have probably written several dissertations by now for Space University on how this show changed my brain chemistry. It’s free on Youtube and Tubi, so go check it out for relatively wholesome Halloween fun (minus that witch doctor bit. That, uh, that one did not age well. At all).
