This double feature presents two feature-film versions of the classic 1960's television series THE ADDAMS FAMILY When long-lost Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) reappears after 25 years in the Bermuda Triangle, Morticia (Anjelica Huston) and Gomez (Raul Julia) ecstatically begin plans for a celebration that will wake the dead.

A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while a French and a second English soundtrack have been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a theatrical trailer. This is a decent release from 20th Century Fox.
