Released in 2006 (but only surfacing online now) is the mini documentary titled ‘You Rang, Mr. Addams?‘ which tells the fascinating tale of Charles Addams, the twisted creator behind the creepy and wildly loved Addams Family characters.
It tells the story of the dilapidated houses that littered his walk home from school and which served as the inspiration for the iconic Addams Family house, through to rather strange penchant for having picnics in the cemetery with his wife.
In short, it’s an illuminating insight into the man so few us truly know about, but who’s work and mischief-making has enchanted and captured the imagination of millions around the world.
