10 Best Non-Horror Films To Watch This Halloween 2020

2. The Addams Family

The legacy of The Addams family is massively abundant in the world of the spooky. The first family of Halloween are a big staple for the holiday, and this film from 1991 is quite possibly the best depiction of the ghoulish creatures to date.

The film shows con artists try to swindle the titular family by way of an accomplice who infiltrates them claiming to be their long lost uncle. There is a distinct sense of fun in the ridiculousness of the plot, and it is well thought out. But the charm of this film doesn't come down to the narrative. It centres entirely around the compelling and distinct characters.

Each member of the family is perfectly cast in this outing, and all of them end up being what we know and love about the monsters. They take the original concepts of the roles and push their eccentricity to the max.

The particular highlights have to be Christina Ricci's Wednesday Addams and the pairing of Angelica Huston and Raul Julia as Morticia and Gomez. The sequel to this film is also fantastic, and therefore you get two options for Halloween fun if you love this outing.
