Halloween with the New Addams Family (1977)
The original series was 64-66. Eleven years later, the entire cast is reunited except for Grandma, who was ill and passed 3 months after the show aired.
It's disappointing. First and foremost, it's in color. That spoils so much of the mystique. It reuses so many hackneyed jokes from the series, but they are mostly played out in the 70s. The plot is akin to any of the plots in the original series but it just doesn't work.
Yet another disappointment from Hallowcovidween 2020.
The only revelation is Lisa Loring (Wednesday) grew up fine. She still kept the sense of her original character and needed more screen time. I looked up her story - she married 4 times, first time when she was 15, 3rd time to a hardcore porn star (she wrote porn and did make-up). Wiki's last entry for her says she's trying to get a 4th divorce, and is still alive.
No sword fights. Not DOOM recommended at all.
