Fans of The Addams Family were in for a special treat at LA Comic Con 2024, where key cast members of the iconic 1991 film reunited for the first time in years. The reunion panel featured Anjelica Huston (Morticia Addams), Christina Ricci (Wednesday Addams), Christopher Lloyd (Uncle Fester), Carel Struycken (Lurch), and Jimmy Workman (Pugsley Addams). This nostalgic event allowed fans to reminisce about the beloved spooky family while the actors shared memories and insights into their iconic roles.
During the reunion, cast members reflected on the magic of working together, particularly the joy of bringing Charles Addams’ beloved characters to life. Christina Ricci, who famously played the deadpan Wednesday Addams, shared stories from her time on set, while Anjelica Huston, who rarely appears at conventions, captivated fans with her recollections of playing the graceful but macabre Morticia. Christopher Lloyd delighted the audience with his memories of embodying the eccentric Uncle Fester, adding to the excitement of the reunion.
The panel was a celebration of The Addams Family’s enduring legacy, which continues to inspire modern adaptations like Netflix's Wednesday. Fans attending LA Comic Con were treated to photo ops and autographs, making this event a dream come true for long-time admirers of the film. This reunion not only honored the past but also highlighted how The Addams Family remains a beloved and culturally relevant franchise 33 years after its debut.
