The Addams Family Tree, Explained

The Addams Family is the first family of horror. They’re creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky… and they’ve been around in one medium or another since 1938. Starting out as a comic strip by cartoonist Charles Addams, the family was made famous on the small screen in 1964 with the emergence of their iconic self-titled TV show. From film and cartoon appearances to fan-favorite offshoots like Wednesday, this family has lasted in some form or other for nearly a century.
