Synopsis
Ghoulish laughs abound in this darkly comic gem. Based on the classic television show, Raul Julia and Angelica Huston star as the deliciously creepy Gomez and Morticia Addams, with Christina Ricci standing out as their daughter Wednesday. When Christopher Lloyd shows up, claiming to be the long-lost Uncle Fester, the family rejoices, but Wednesday and Thing begin to suspect something is amiss, and they uncover a plot to raid the fortune contained within the Addam's vault.
