What's great about the Addams Family is that there are so many characters to choose from and all of the outfits can probably be made with items you already have! You can keep it simple, with the parents going as Morticia and Gomez and the kids as Wednesday and Pugsley, or you can spice things up and throw in Lurch, Cousin It, and even Uncle Fester. With black articles of clothing, some makeup, and a few accessories, you'll be transformed into the Addams Family in no time.
