But when I think of Morticia Addams, I think of the statuesque Anjelica Huston in The Addams Family and Addams Family Values. This time around, Gomez Addams (Raul Julia) and his wife, Morticia (Anjelica Huston), are celebrating the arrival of a baby boy. Other notable appearances have been in the black-and-white 1960s TV show (in which Tish is played by the doll-like Carolyn Jones), an animated series (a Saturday morning must-watch), and at least one baller pinball game. 63 76 1993 93 min PG-13 Fantasy, Comedy Feature Film The members of the odd Addams Family are up to more macabre antics in this sequel. Morticia and the clan have had many incarnations, beginning with Charles Addams' original illustrations in the New Yorker, starting in 1938. Instead, it's her impenetrable spirit, her social graces, her sultry charm, her smooth intellect, and her progressive values that make her a role model. She is the Chanel of girl ghouls: timeless and classic. With that long black hair, the blood-red talons, and those ghoulishly captivating eyes, Morticia has a timeless look - one that's since been co-opted by the likes of Vampira, Elvira, and, to a lesser extent, Lily Munster. To begin with, Morticia is drop-dead gorgeous.

It's the fully-actualized matriarch, Morticia, who reigns as queen.

But she's merely the princess of the Addams clan. In fact, children of the '90s tend to worship Wednesday and her deadpan wit. For decades, they've been an iconic bunch of creepy/kooky/mysterious/etc. Halloween tends to inspire me to revisit my favorite gang of lovable monsters: The Addams Family (snap, snap).
