10 More Disturbing Movie Moments You Never Noticed

3. Uncle Fester Is A Dark Tourist - The Addams Family

Early on in The Addams Family, Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) is returned to the Addams residence following a 25-year absence after apparently getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle.

Fester has a large steamer trunk with him, and if you pause the movie to take a closer peek, it has stickers all over it detailing the many bizarre places Fester has travelled to.

This includes Devil's Island, Alcatraz, the Black Hole of Calcutta, 3 Mile Island, and most unsettlingly of all, the remnants of Jonestown, the site where 918 of Jim Jones' cultists died.

Basically, it confirms beyond any doubt that Fester is a committed "dark tourist," keenly visiting places which have played host to death, suffering, and destruction.

While it's absolutely on-brand for a member of the Addams clan to do this, it's still extremely unnerving to picture Fester of all people skulking around the remnants of Jonestown with great interest.
