The Addams Family is one of the most iconic gothic dark comedies of all time. The Addams, a wealthy family of misfits, is at the heart of the spooky season every year, with the central story being adapted a number of times, updating the family's tales for contemporary audiences. Most recently, Netflix's Wednesday series paired gorgeous cinematography with a distinctly modern tale of fighting discrimination and critiquing colonialism. Despite the Addams' supernatural abilities, the fictional family is based on a very real couple from New Jersey.
Cartoonist Charles Addams contributed cartoons loosely based on his own marriage to The New Yorker from 1938-1964. The cartoons depicted the fictional family attempting to do mundane activities like go to the beach or celebrate holidays, all the while humorously sticking out in their environment. Charles Addams' was inspired by a unique Victorian-era home that still stands in Westfield, New Jersey, which resembles the Addams Family mansion.
