What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

The Addams love to keep things spooky and they are about to get a new frightful addition to their strange but loving ranks. When Gomez and Morticia, the affectionate parents of Wednesday and Pugsley, bring the adorable Pubert into the world not everyone reacts with joy - especially the lonely, lovelorn Uncle Fester. However, the arrival of a mysterious new babysitter, and Fester’s immediate infatuation with her, sets off a series of events that sees Wednesday and Pugsley shipped off to summer camp and Fester alienated from his family. Will the Addams ever be able to reconcile?

This film is a fantastic Gothic comedy that helps us reconsider how we define a family.
