In Addams Family Values, the ever-gloomy Addamses welcome a newborn (who looks just like Gomez!) and hire a nanny—bubbly serial killer Debbie Jellinsky (Joan Cusack)—who seduces Uncle Fester and schemes to murder him for his money. Debbie sends Wednesday and Pugsley to a sleepaway camp where toxic positivity reigns. The counselors and their most privileged campers (guided by a major superiority complex) try to assimilate the misfits and put on a play about the first Thanksgiving. Wednesday embraces the role of Pocahontas, torches revisionist history, and leads a righteous revolt against the ruling class!

We’re also screening The Addams Family (1991) on Friday, November 13 at 11:30pm!

Guest Programmer Bobby Zier is an autistic adult whose passion is Dracula and classic horror. Bobby and his sister Katie run a TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube page called Lugosi Theatre, which focuses on Dracula, autism, and embracing what you love. Bobby won the 2022 Rondo Hatton Special Recognition Award, the 2023 Rondo Hatton Monster Kid of the Year Award, and the 2025 Haunters Against Hate Haunter of the Year Award.
