You know Wednesday Addams, right? She’s the dark-haired girl with the dark outlook from “The Addams Family” — Gomez and Morticia’s pale-skinned teenage daughter. She was seen on TV in the 1964-1966 ABC show “The Addams Family,” which is based on a 1938 cartoon and was eventually made into a movie series, a TV film, two animated movies from 2019 and 2021, and even a stage musical.

Wednesday herself got very popular as a result of the two movies from the 1990s that starred Christina Ricci as the character, She’s even getting her own Netflix series from Tim Burton this fall.

Many people find her sharp mind, indifference and grim demeanor appealing. If she is your ghoulish role model, you can wear a Wednesday Addams costume for Halloween. You’ll have to put it together yourself, but it’ll give you her dour, macabre look. And right now, you can get her dress for 35% off.
