An Addams Halloween

October 24th, 2009 by John Wolfe

I’ve always been a huge fan of The Addams Family, admittedly, more so where the old cartoon strips and movies are concerned than the television series, but I still enjoy all things Addams. Yet, I’ve never posted anything Addams Family related at SOS (until today) because I know how highly protective the Charles Addams estate/foundation is with regards to his work, and rightfully so.

That’s why I was thrilled to see Hulu now has permission to carry The Addams Family episodes from the series. In this particular installment, “Halloween, Addams Style,” the family does their best to soothe Wednesday’s fears concerning the (lack of) existence of witches. A seance is organized to bring the family witch (Aunt Singe) back from the grave to show Wednesday that witches are indeed real.

Found this awesome, animated “Cauldron Creep” prop, created by DevilsChariot, while doing my YouTube Halloween digging this morning. The first video shows the prop in action and the second one gives a quick rundown on the prop’s moving parts and attachments.
