story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate
princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young
man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that
weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to
tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before –
keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the
whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’
boyfriend and his parents.</span></p><p style="margin:4.5pt 0in;background:white;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:rgb(29,33,41);font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><br></span></p>
