Story Secrets - Why We’re Still Snapping for the Addams Family


Listen Later

🎵 Da-da-da-dum (snap, snap)... Admit it, you just snapped your fingers! That iconic tune is part of what makes the Addams Family unforgettable. This quirky, creepy, and mysteriously lovable family has been a staple of pop culture since the 1960s, and they’re still winning hearts today.

In my latest podcast episode, I explore the enduring appeal of the Addams Family. From the original TV series to Tim Burton’s Netflix hit Wednesday, this macabre clan has brought humor and heart to generations. But what makes them so timeless?

Why we love the Addams Family:

  • Relatable relationships: Gomez and Morticia might be spooky, but their love is solid #couplegoals.
  • Timeless humor: Their blend of old-school horror and laugh-out-loud comedy is irresistible.
  • Nostalgia + reinvention: Each generation gets its own take, from the classic series to Jenna Ortega’s viral Wednesday dance.
  • I also share a fun interview with an amazing cosplay group that brought the Addams Family to life at a recent fantasy festival. Want to see their costumes and hear their thoughts on cosplay? Head to my YouTube channel for the full video!

    🎧 Don’t miss this episode—it’s ooky, spooky fun! Listen now and let me know: which Addams Family character is your favorite?
