Plenty of property damage, injuries, and threats of violence in the black and white show, but I can’t think of any sextuple homicides shown on screen. Never really watched any of the movies. Are they any good?

I understood, I just wanted to identify the show I was referring to. I think there have been like 5 shows at this point and referring to media iterations by their year kills me inside
The 1991 movie was my introduction to the Addams family, and, yeah, I had a VHS of it that I watched way too many times as a kid.
You don't really see the result of that scene, or have to deal with any actual murder or on-screen violence, everything is played for laugh.
It's very similar in humour to the first Men in Black movie, also by Barry Sonnenfeld. Very cool cast, especially Raul Julia.
I was going to watch them anyway, but you caught my attention with the director. If he managed the effects and editing teams equally well between the films, I’ll definitely enjoy them! Thank you!
Raul Julia does carry a lot of the first two movies, but everyone else does a pretty damn good job as well. I have yet to see the third one.
They seem pretty cute and innocent, aside from the murder, so I’ll probably check them out when I’m looking to get cozy. Thanks!
