Story added by camisade on July 11, 2017

They're creepy and they're kooky, Mysterious and spooky, They're altogether ooky... The Addams Family were created by cartoonist Charles Addams in 1938. Intended as a humorous inversion of an ideal 20th century family, they are a clan of wealthy, aristocratic eccentrics who delight in the macabre and are either blissfully unaware or do not care that mainstream society finds them unusual or frightening. The main cast consists of patriarch Gomez, his wife Morticia, their children Wednesday and Pugsley, Uncle Fester and Grandmama, their butler Lurch, the disembodied hand Thing, and Gomez's hirsute Cousin Itt.read more

Fan Casting Uncle Fester

Description of Uncle Fester:

Completely hairless, hunched, and barrel-shaped man with dark, sunken eyes and often a deranged smile. He always wears a heavy, full-length fur coat. Fester has a strange ability to generate electricity, an ability he often demonstrates by putting a light bulb in his mouth, which illuminates, accompanied by a loud crackling noise. Has as severe migraines, which he relieves by placing his head in a large screw press and tightening it to levels that normal people would not be able to withstand. At times, Fester uses the screw press on his head simply for enjoyment. Despite his menacing look and bizarre behavior, he is gentle and caring to everyone.
