These Morticia Addams quotes will have you trying to decide whether to laugh or be shocked.

It is 2021, and we are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see The Addams Family 2 in theaters, but the show that started it all premiered in 1964. The American sitcom was a macabre/black comedy based on the characters from Charles Addams’ New Yorker cartoons.

The show ran for 30-minutes and was shot in black and white. It aired for two seasons on ABC from September 18, 1964, to April 8, 1966, for a total of 64 episodes. The opening theme song, which is recognizable by nearly everyone was sung by Vic Mizzy.

Morticia Addams, the matriarch of the creepy and kooky family, was a fan favorite and had some incredibly funny quotes that would make the audience die of laughter.

When the film series got revamped in the 90s with a feature film series consisting of The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993) viewers were thrilled to see Anjelica Huston deliver some witty and dark humor as Morticia Addams.

The series has spawned numerous reboots, video games, and even a broadway show. The Addams’ graced us with their presence again in 2019 with the new movie, The Addams Family. This time, Charlize Theron was tasked with playing one of the most memorable female characters of all time.

Which of these Morticia Addams quotes is your favorite?

The 2019 film received mixed reviews from critics for its narrative and screenplay. However, the performances and animation were praised. The film was also a box office hit, grossing $203 million on a $24 million budget. No doubt, in part, to the fascination we have with Morticia Addams.

Charles Addams (the creator) once described Morticia as “The real head of the family … low-voiced, incisive and subtle, smiles are rare…ruined beauty … contemptuous and original and with fierce family loyalty … even in disposition, muted, witty, sometimes deadly … given to low-keyed rhapsodies about her garden of deadly nightshade, henbane, and dwarf’s hair.”

Many of these Morticia Addams quotes center around her being the head of the family. She remarks on what it is like to be a wife and a mother, while still being the ideal woman.

What makes it all so funny, is that the Addams’ view of ideal or “normal” is so far out there, and they all just seem to have no idea. This sequel will give us many more Morticia Addams quotes (once again played by Charlize Theron) that will have us trying to decide whether to laugh or be shocked.
