Customer Reviews of Halloween with the Addams Family

The house is a bit different, set in a residential neighborhood in suburbia, rather than in a palacial mansion - more of a large house. Yet still, erstwhile crooks again attempt to leach from the Addams' wealth. This time, by crashing the Halloween party {a monster mash, really}, dressed & identified as the "Boston branch of the family" - one cross-dressing as Little Bo-Peep, another as John Quincy Addams, accompanied by two bodybuilders, who are extremely poor actors, who from time to time abduct Gomez, attempting to contain him tied up in various locations throughout the house, to which, by his ingenuity, releases himself with the help of Wednesday Sr., who herself has returned from conservatory, enchantingly developed both in talent & physique. They communicate in morse code, thus releasing Gomez from various predicaments, much to the chagrin & frustration of the so-called "John Quincy Addams". Along with them, Gomez & Morticia assimilates sneak into the house with no-one the wiser, as it is assumed they are the actual ones, as their clonage is assumed to be so great, which upon observation, is not the case.

Earler on, the spying crooks sent an agent posing as an inspector taxman who is eventually driven insane, unto a complete blubbering & blabbering idiot by the Addams' lifestyle, particularly Thing, & Uncle Fester's "Playroom", which includes The Rack {looks to be quite a stress-reliever}, & the noble & adorable lion "Kitty-cat", the family pet. A reminder of Togare is readily apparent.

Lurch takes a fancy to Little Bo-Peep, & dances the night away with the erzatz lady. He even shares his passion with her/it - terradaktyl-hunting, but instead, manages to net Mother Frump who was out for a night broom ride, until later in the film, when he realizes the true state, lets forth a moan of disappointment.

One by one, the interlopers are eliminated, by reasons of insanity &/or fear.

Eventually, as most of them are subjected to Fester's relaxation machines, & confess their intentions, & are finally apprehended by law-enforcement. Good riddance to such flotsam.

This obscure presentation provides for select family values - it could be described as an "after-school special", as it were, for Infernal Progeny. I found "The Legend of Cousin Shy" to be both useful & motivational, & as a matter of fact, inspired in part My own XXVII Nights of Halloween; The Addams Halloween Hymn "Merry, Shhh, Creepy Halloween" is an eternal memoriam, & an ode to various spooks of the subconcious; idealizations & archetypes we hold near & dear to Our Black Hearts.

One factor stands solid throughout The Addams Family lore - The Addams Family is a functional family characterization, very poignantly demonstrated in the warm, wholesome ending scene, where each member of the family grasps a black candle, & pace single-file up the stairs singing the Halloween Hymn, up to the attic, where Cousin Shy parts the cobwebs & carves the pumpkin atop the shoulders of the scarecrow, as they all look on in awe, then to open the presents wrapped in black & red, happily uncovering new possessions.

The element of tribalism is always present, loyal to one another, preserving the pack with etiquette, & surrounded in chosen fineries. An ideal of a family to emulate, which in many cases, has already been naturally in practice. Comparisons are inevitably drawn between the Satanic Family & the prorotypal Addams Family. Such a dynamic occurred with Dr. LaVey & Family. I believe this film, as well as all the others, including the original series, will humorously suppliment the overall Satanic Family. Hail Infernal Progeny! HAIL SATAN.
