The Addams Family has always been very close to my heart. I remember watching the black & white television series as a child and I was always fascinated with this strange but lovable family. So when Director Bobby Garcia offered me the part of Uncle Fester, I jumped at the opportunity to play one of my childhood heroes!

So doing some extensive research, I realized that many of us share the same traits with the spooky family, so here’s a list of 8 ways to tell if you’re an Addams!

8. IF YOU NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE MOONLIGHT

A healthy sense of the macabre is one of the first ways to tell if you’re an Addams. Do you like wearing black? Do you enjoy moonlit nights, gloomy days and is Halloween your favorite holiday? You could very well be a part of the family!

7. IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF PASSION

Are you a romantic? Do you have a tremendous fascination for anything in particular (like medieval torture machines, sharp objects, serial killers, etc.)? If you wear your heart out on your sleeve, then you could be one of us! Find what you’re truly passionate about, and let it show!

6. IF YOU’RE HAPPY WHEN YOUR TOES ARE IN THE MUD

If you like to get a little dirt under your fingernails, aren’t overly concerned about what anyone thinks of your appearance, and enjoy getting your hands dirty, then maybe you could be one of the spooky family!

5. IF IT’S FAMILY FIRST & FAMILY LAST

If you are tremendously loyal to your family, and sincerely enjoy showing your affection to your loved ones, no matter how weird or strange they may be, then you’re definitely an Addams. Nothing is more important than family!

4. IF YOU ARE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE

The Addams Family Motto is “Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc”, which means “We Gladly Feast on Those who Would Subdue Us”. Love for family is at the very core of the Addams, and if you would never allow anyone else to hurt you and your family members, or mess with your good name, then you may be related to the Addams!

3. IF YOU NEED FULL DISCLOSURE

Honesty is always best for the Addams, and secrets between family members and loved ones are considered the enemy of any relationship; so if you always speak your mind, and have an undying need to tell the truth, then welcome to the family!

2. IF YOU HAVE TO HAVE FUN

The Addams Family always find ways to enjoy themselves; even in the middle of deadly situation, there’s always time for a romantic moment, or even a laugh or two. So if you find humor even in the darkest places, you may be an Addams!

1. IF YOU DEFINE WHAT’S NORMAL FOR YOU

If you don’t obey social norms, or what society dictates, how you should act, what you should wear, what music you should listen to, then you definitely belong to the Addams Family. Be yourself, and don’t worry about what others think; you have only one life to live, so make it count!
