Siblings Wednesday and Pugsley Addams will stop at nothing to get rid of Pubert, the new baby boy adored by parents Gomez and Morticia. Things go from bad to worse when the new "black widow" nanny, Debbie Jellinsky, launches her plan to add Fester to her collection of dead husbands.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Thanksgiving pageant scene remains one of the sharpest satires of American historical mythology ever in a family film, with Wednesday's war crime testimony against pilgrim Sarah Miller.
Raul Julia was genuinely ill during filming; his visible thinness in some scenes was real. He insisted on performing Gomez's manic devotion to family anyway. He passed away the following year.
