Thanks for posting this. The "voice over" guy is a total dork, but Charles Addams' art speaks for itself - brilliant.

Thank you for posting this, mittdawson! I'm a big Charles Addams/Addams Family fan.

Does anybody know where his gravesite is? I'm a slight believer in paranormal events, and if anyone were to come back from the dead to taunt the living, it would be none other than Charles Addams. I plan to pay him a visit on January 7th, 2012, his 100th birthday.

@SecondBananaAddams Thank you, I will definately make a note of the date. Just post a reminder for everyone, okay?

No wonder he was so strange. His baby picture looks like a miniature version of a Edgar Allan Poe picture, that I remember from a book of old poems. :)

I am a huge Charles Addams/Addams Family fanatic - I have the entire Pocket Books collection of his illustrations, as well as the My Crowd collection, and am eagerly awaiting the publication of The Addams Family: An Evilution (yes, Evil-lution), which will come out at the end of March, and feature 50 illustrations published for the first time. I grew up on the 90's movies, the 90's cartoon, and re-runs of the 60's black & white program. Thanks for this clip.

There's an Addams Family musical coming to Chicago this Fall 2009 before moving to Broadway Spring 2010.
