Occasionally, episodes would feature other relatives such as Cousin Itt (Felix Silla), Morticia's older sister Ophelia (also portrayed by Carolyn Jones), or Grandma Frump, Morticia's mother (Margaret Hamilton). Along with their daughter Wednesday (Lisa Loring), their son Pugsley (Ken Weatherwax), Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan), and Grandma (Blossom Rock), they reside at 0001 Cemetery Lane in an ornate, gloomy, Second Empire-style mansion, attended by their servants: Lurch (Ted Cassidy), the towering butler, and Thing (billed as "Itself" but actually portrayed by Cassidy and occasionally by Jack Voglin when Lurch and Thing appear in the same scene), a disembodied hand that usually appears out of a small wooden box. The very wealthy, endlessly enthusiastic Gomez Addams (John Astin) is madly in love with his refined wife, Morticia, née Frump (Carolyn Jones). Addams Family Values (1993) - Wednesday, Pugsley And Pubert. No explanation for their powers is explicitly given in the series. The addams family 2 official trailer mgm video MP4 & 3gp hd download, movie the addams. Suffice it to say that this movie is well worth your time.The Addamses are a close-knit extended family with decidedly macabre interests and supernatural abilities. I could go on and on, but I'm running out of superlatives. That dance number! Morticia's ever-present shaft of light! Christina Ricci as the sublime Wednesday! Joan Cusack, unhinged! A split-second cameo by Charles Busch! Oh, rapture. Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston are particularly marvelous as one of the most genuinely loving, passionate couples you've seen in ages. Paul Rudnick's screenplay is masterful-you'll be quoting from it for weeks.
Instead, the characters get more of a chance to develop as they glide blithely through a fuller, more cohesive story.

As odd as it may seem, this sequel is in many ways superior to its predecessor. Paul Rudnick clearly had a field day writing this screenplay.
