“The Addams Family” Gets Creepy and Kooky Debut Trailer

In 1991 the iconic Addams family took over American culture with a huge boom.

Okay, that might be an exaggeration - but for those who love and adore the unusual, The Addams Family and its immediate sequel two years later Adams Family Values were an iconic part of our upbringing. Finally, after over twenty-five years of absolute silence, we fans are getting an update - by way of animation.

MGM has just released the first trailer for their animated update for the dark and humorous family, and boy are fans in for a treat. Complete with hilarious one-liners, slapstick situations, and dark and dreary lighting, the film, based on a first look, is just what we’ve been waiting for.

Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Finna Wolfhard, Bette Midler, and Allison Janney lend their voice to the highly anticipated project, which will hit theaters October 11, just in time for Halloween.

About Stephen Davis

I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
