"Halloween With The Addams Family". I am now picturing Michael Myers getting more than he bargained for when he tries to terrorize a kid Wendesday is babysitting (I am referencing the "Adult Wendesday Addams" series; the babysitting episode was my favourite).
Maybe he's a friend? I can just imagine all the horror icons coming over to the addams family for a chrismas holiday. I would be one wild party! Freddy kruger's picking a fight with jason and pennywise is sitting in the punch bowl.
This was the perfect oppruntitiy to name the second son Pubert, and to give the second daughter a cool name like Belladonna Thorn. And let's face it Wednesday would have a job as a spider breeder
Iron Vlogger My theory is "Wednesday Jr" and "Pugsley Jr" are just nicknames or even middle names for the young pair when Morticia and Gomez saw how much they're like their older siblings.
I actually like this cause I do love seeing the original Addams Family cast members back together in this special. Plus, it's John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Ted Cassidy & Jackie Coogan, Lisa Loring, and Ken Weathermax!! You can't hate them!!
In the original show, a home-wrecking therapist (who believed that a happy marriage is actually a terrible one) was trying to get with Morticia who made it known that she loves her husband and Gomez was trying to kill him. And HOLD IT!! They got Granny Frump but couldn't get Margaret Hamilton to reprise her role?!
How is Uncle Fester not been Gomez' brother a special continuity? They weren't brothers in the original show. But there were episodes where Fester got dates and also acted like Gomez when his date/penpal etc. was talking French. And furthermore: In one of the original Halloween episodes, where Pugsley and Wednesday are dressed like an accountant and a ballerina, Gomez and Morticia are scared too and mention that those costumes are too scary. Fester even suggested to say "Do not be alarmed, we are only little children" when they knock.
As you said, it would have been better if the special was about celebrating what Halloween actually meant and it fits the themes of the Adamms very well.
Ape-riham Lincoln AND Count Dracula?!? When does Orville Deaden-backer arrive? lol Happy Halloween to the two of you :D Thanks so much for the wonderful work you do.
I always found it a bit of a problem in cheap colour versions like this that the Addam's mansion should be in California. From their gloominess and the dreary-looking black and white in the original series (and the 1990s movies) I always thought they'd live somewhere in New England, where it's cold and rainy, not in California with sunshine and palm trees. That just doesn't fit.
There were actually two Halloween episodes in the original show. One with the burglars with the money for trick or treat and one where the neighbor tells Wednesday that witches aren't real.
It took Saban's "Addams Family Reunion" to make an Addams family show I disliked more than this. It didn't help that one of the writers had worked on the Munsters. Of course, I've never had the "pleasure" of seeing "Addams Family reunion" (1973) with Butch Patrick playing Pugsly, that may have been worse than Addams Family Reunion.
Its kind of interesting to see this version of the Addams Family in color, but this special is very disappointing especially with the extra kids. (Seriously? Pugsley Jr. and Wednesday Jr.?) I like the old show with John Astin, Carolyn Jones and the whole loveable cast. This is just sad.
Lady Fingers actually was in the original tv show in one episode. Thing fell in love with her, she had to go off to help royalty or something... it’s actually not a terrible nod to continuity. This short is still terrible though.
YES POOR MIKEY, HE DOES HAVE A FRAGILE MIND. I NOTICED YOU LEFT OUT Jerry Screamer Claws's ahem shall we say classic, BLUNDER. THAT SHOULD GO THROUGH THE BLENDER!
There was a wave of TV "reunions" in the late 70's-ealy 80's. Gilligan's Island had a couple, including one where they were FINALLY rescued. The Munsters had one. The Brady Bunch had a couple. The Beverly Hillbillies had one. It wasn't until the 90's that the started making theatrical movies as nostalgia cash-ins instead.
This is my head cannon that fixes this mess, Gomez and Morticia have 2 more kids, Pubert Addams and Belladonna Thorn Addams, Pugsley is still a witch doctor, but Wednesday is a world famous Black Widow spider breeder, making Black Widow's the new household pets. And the special is actually funny.
Iron Vlogger I don't know. I like the idea of Wednesday going into music. In the original she would be light on her feet and was even into ballet along with practicing the piano with Lurch. Though, she would often play somber or outright scary music (like "The Rite of Spring") while her normal classmates would play something more lighthearted. Though, Wednesday could become a spider breeder when she's older as a hobby or a side job.
@@ironvlogger9712 And they'll be werewolves like their father and will be named Edgar and Emily with Edgar being a feral, but friendly and Emily being morose but rather playful.
Great episode. I used to play these reviews in the background whenever I do my night chores, and sometimes when I do lottery. Because of these recent "Addams Family" themed videos, I've been getting into "Addams Family" again, I've bought the complete original TV series on DVD, as well as the two 90's movies on a 2 movie Blu-Ray pack. As for this special...yeah, really doesn't look like anything to write home about. Even with the original cast, the colorful setting here really takes away from the gothic atmosphere that the original series had. Also for a "Halloween Special", this special seems to have more to do with "Christmas" like "Howling 2:Your Sister is a Werewolf" has to do with "Vampires". Now to wrap up my first comment on one of these, I'm gonna say, you sir have earned a new subscriber. Hope you have great Halloween.
Just one time, I wanna see Ms. Fox interact with Tha-Bokks. He could be the Thing of the Fox-Sheaux family. Hey! That's what you should call your family: the Fox-Sheaux Family.
To be honest with Gomez and Morticia's relationship, it's a shock that they only had 2 kids in the original series. In speaking of relationships, shame on you, Lurch! You're supposed to be with Marilyn Munster!
Okay, commenting before I watch your reveiw. I saw the opening and first few minutes of an episode.... RIP IT TO SHREADS!!!! DEAR LORD and you thought Family Reunion was bad!?! Edit: @1:40 Dang it! I was so looking forward to that too.
I was hoping for you to review the '92 Animated series, but I suppose with how many bad versions of the Addams there are, you don't have the time to talk about the good ones.
... It's so weird to think that this movie exists... well... thing. I mean, the idea of "rebooting" a series with the same actors, I can't really think of how many times that has worked. But here it is I suppose.
8:29 Villian: Would you like the go in the Addams house Other Villian: Shoots himself in the head cut to the Addams ghous Gomez: Another ghost for our colection Morticia: Ghouls and Ghosts always end up here Other Villian: Do'h
I got some theories! Maybe Pugsley and Wednesday jr are the same Pugsley and Wednesday that we usually see after the live action movies but younger, that's why they their age differences and behavior was different from the original tv shows and cartoons. Pugsley and Wednesday that we see in the musical is also different kids which explains why Wednesday is much older than Pugsley. In total, Gomez and Morticia have 6 kids which they all named Wednesday and Pugsley, plus Pubert. Grandmama maybe also two distinct women who either lives at the same time in the mansion but rarely showed up together or only one of them lives in the mansion at a time. Due to their age, closeness and likeness, everyone and themselves mixes them up together and their children. However that's just a fun theory since it don't hold up with some of the original episode where they are explicitly distinct persons and all of the movies when it's confirmed that one of them are deceased. I have harder time figuring out if uncle Fester was two distinct people which one is Gomez's lost brother and one is Morticia's uncle since it would be easily acknowledged. I assume Morticia's uncle is older than Gomez brother if they are two similar individual. We did not see much of Morticia's uncle Fester after the live-action movies so I assume he died or move out. Maybe the Addams clan have unique genetic traits that makes people who are not-so-closely related seems similar. Uncle Fester maybe is a nickname to one of the Festers due to their similarity or trait or that it's common that the Addams family members shares the same name like the earlier Pugsley and Wednesday theories. Or maybe, its just a nonsensical show and I'm thinking too much!
SuperSwordman1 I’ll give them this, at least there isn’t a set continuity between versions as far as the original comic strips are concerned. Cause mama was Gomez’s mother in the show, but Morticia’s in the movies
the phrase I was allowed to use as a kid was putz... I'm not 100 percent sure what it means but it encompasses a lot and might even cover the c word you were concerned to say...
I know I might be complaining but i have to say this. You have not done any positive reviews for an Addams family movie i know bad reviews is very entertaining to me but I was hoping one positive review for Addams family like the orgianl Addams family. You been saying what theses adaption have been doing wrong but not show us why the first Addams family 1991 movie did it right. I liked this review. But I would like to hear you thoughts on the orgianl Addams family and why it's good or what made it work. Maybe you could tell me here.
Wolf Entertainment Trust me I would like to but your talking to an kid with no money but Bob said we have an choice to support or not. But to be honest I just think we should see an postive review some thing the Addams family deserves. Don't you agree.
I’ve seen the opening titles for this and all it took was me seeing them all brushing each other’s hair in a line for me To be like “nope”, and I adore the 60’s version, it’s my favorite. I love the cast and everything but this is cringeworthy.
...What's the point of having Gomez go away and have his brother stand in for him, if they're just going to have the brother look and act exactly like Gomez?
It shouldn’t have been shot on video like this, and then the dumb decision to emulate Astin with the brother character and then write two carbon copy Addams kids? 🧐The whole things rings tone deaf, aside from the undeniable and lovely Astin/Jones chemistry. And the subplot with the “wacky” interlopers? I remember first learning about this 14 years ago or so, and being super excited. And then I watched it. 😳
Oh, how I wish someone would unearth the pathetic attempt at an Addams Family variety show, so you may dump all over it. It was supposedly far more a trainwreck than this one could ever be considered. Too bad the only footage is a black and white photo on a wikipedia page.
Yes there was. addamsfamily.fandom.com/wiki/The_Addams_Family_Fun-House The reviews of this were particularly bad. On the plus side, Pugsley was played by Eddie Munster.

I second that. I also vote for Belladonna considering that its a dangerous plant which is fitting with Morticia and her plants.
@@storybeauty4517 that's why I picked the name. Belladonna Thorn Addams❤
@@ironvlogger9712 Perfect!
Iron Vlogger My theory is "Wednesday Jr" and "Pugsley Jr" are just nicknames or even middle names for the young pair when Morticia and Gomez saw how much they're like their older siblings.
Hell, a good name for another Addams girl is Willow.

This Bobsheauxween theme song is EPIC.
Oh look: it’s !ylimaF smaddA ehT My favorite theme song for the iconic gothic comedy series.
Well, in the TV Series, there WAS a lady-fingers, in an episode. Believe me, I've watched all 64 episodes many of times.
As you said, it would have been better if the special was about celebrating what Halloween actually meant and it fits the themes of the Adamms very well.
This Bobsheauxween sure is making me wanna see the Raul Julia movie again! Its been ages since i last saw it, but i remember it fondly.
How about a review of the new animated Addams Family movie , please ?
