The Addams Family is a 1991 American supernatural comedy directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, based on Charles Addams's iconic New Yorker cartoon characters. Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia star as Morticia and Gomez Addams, the passionate, death-obsessed couple who head a family of cheerfully macabre aristocrats — including their murderous children Wednesday and Pugsley, the disembodied hand Thing, the massive butler Lurch, and the light-bulb-headed Uncle Fester. When a con artist poses as the long-lost Fester to infiltrate the family and steal their fortune, the Addams clan's unshakable devotion to each other and their enthusiastic embrace of the grotesque prove more than a match for conventional villainy.

Raul Julia's Gomez was a revelation of romantic, swashbuckling energy, and Anjelica Huston's Morticia was elegantly morbid. The Addams Family earned $191 million worldwide on a $30 million budget.
