Very seldom does a sequel outshine the original, yet 1993’s Addams Family Values achieves this rare feat. As anticipation builds for the new season of Wednesday, set to premiere later this year, it’s the perfect moment to revisit and celebrate what many consider the pinnacle of The Addams Family franchise. Addams Family Values, helmed by director Barry Sonnenfeld, brought back the iconic cast including Raul Julia as the charismatic Gomez, Anjelica Huston as the elegant Morticia, Christopher Lloyd as the eccentric Uncle Fester, and Christina Ricci as the morbidly delightful Wednesday. The film also introduced Carol Kane as Grandma Addams, adding another layer of comedic brilliance. Picking up where the first movie left off, Addams Family Values plunges the belovedly bizarre family into new chaos with a new baby, a darkly comedic gold-digging bride, and the hilariously horrifying setting of summer camp.
