Creepy, Kooky, Spooky The Addams Family Toys and Collectibles

Remember the theme song? We'll bet you do! "They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're altogether ooky, the Addams family…" Sorry, but anyone who hasn't watched The Addams Family really missed something, and you have our sympathy. Created by cartoonist Charles Addams, the Addams family originally appeared in a series of 150 cartoons over a 50-year period beginning in 1938. They were later adapted to TV, movies, comic books, video games, books, soundtracks, and even a Broadway musical. They're also seen as an inspiration for Goth subculture and fashion. Most folks know them from the 1964 ABC The Addams Family TV series starring Carolyn Jones as Morticia, John Astin as Gomez, Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester, Ted Cassidy in the role of Lurch, Blossom Rock as Grandma, Lisa Loring as Wednesday, Ken Weatherwax playing Pugsley, and Thing as, well, Thing. The Addams family is an inverted version of the ideal 20th-century American family - an odd wealthy aristocratic clan that delights in the macabre and seems to be unaware (or unconcerned) that other people find them bizarre or frightening. And that is where the fun begins and all these clever, kooky, and spooky The Addams Family Pop! and other vinyl figures, statues, holiday décor items, and more got their start. Don't miss a single one, and for Pete's sake, watch the reruns!
