The Addams Family (1991, PG-13)



Age Group: 12 to 16
Spook Factor: They're creepy and their kooky and they're altogether not spooky! The Addams family is like a sitcom for wannabe goths, or anybody who ever considered their family weird in a wonderful sort of way. And, while no one really gets hurt, there are a lot of knives and instruments of torture, son Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) hangs out strapped to an electric chair, and parents Morticia (Anjelica Huston) and Gomez (Raul Julia) have a strong sexual bond that's vaguely sadomasochistic.
