You’ll have an option to go to a theater or watch the film from the comfort of your sofa. The Addams Family 2 will release in theaters on Oct. 1 and will be available on demand the same day. 

What is Addams Family 2 about?

The new movie is a modern rendition of the classic characters that sprang from the mind of cartoonist Charles Addams, published in The New Yorker from 1938. Since then, there have been multiple TV shows and movies, including an iconic 1960s series and a pair of 1990s movies.

The Addams Family 2 is an animated film. The storyline sees Morticia and Gomez lament how fast their children Wednesday and Pugsley are growing up. To refresh their family bond, they cram Uncle Fester and the crew into their haunted camper for a vacation.

Why not check into Hotel Transylvania? It’s another well-established comic-scary animated series with a new movie on the way. Hotel Transylvania: Transformania is the fourth and final installment of the Hotel Transylvania franchise, in which main character Johnny hopes that if he were a monster then Dracula might finally approve of him.
