The Addams family was, in fact, both magical and supernatural for its depiction of a healthy, loving, supportive, and fun married m/f couple.
This is now officially an Addams family appreciation post
In order to depict such purity and love in a m/f relationship, one must first set the foundation that these people are odd and not the norm. (per media standards)
They cared about their children, their children’s interests, and wanted the kids to always be true to themselves. How peculiar!
Gomez and Morticia never showed negative jealousy towards each other’s past love interests. Even going to far as complimenting them for being special to their true love. How bizarre!
They could forgive almost any character flaw in a friend or relative. The only thing that could not be forgiven was betrayals and pastels. Weird amirite?
Morticia is a woman’s woman. She allies herself with other women instead of competing with them. She even seeks to understand women different from herself and her beliefs. Strange.
Gomez wants Morticia to have whatever Morticia wants. He doesn’t give her permission, he actively supports her and motivates her. Fa-reaky.
I love the Addams so much. I hope the new show stays true to this nature.
We’re getting pretty close to having adults who weren’t alive during 9/11, and we really need to admit at this point that the overemphasis on 9/11 in the US is just a propaganda machine to indoctrinate the younger generations into nationalism and to justify all the horrible war crimes the US committed in the Middle East, and the continued mistreatment and distrust towards refugees.
As someone who has worked in a professional haunted house, give me a second to give some quick reminders
Respect the fucking age minimum. If the recommended age is 18+ DO NOT BRING YOUR FUCKING CHILDREN TO THIS HAUNT! That age minimum is there for a reason. It’s not a silly “boo, your scared” haunt. If you bring your child, THEY WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES! THEY MIGHT NEED THERAPY! No, actors won’t “go easy” on kids if there’s an age minimum recommendation
Don’t come drunk or under the influence. Seriously, people are unpredictable when they get scared, they’re double that when under the influence of mind altering substances
Go through touch haunts AT YOUR OWN RISK. Touch haunts are places that can legally touch you (actors trip you, hit you, poke you, shove you, etc). Most actors at other haunts WILL get in your personal space, but not actually touch you.
Don’t get mad at actors for doing their jobs. Don’t kick, punch, shove, etc haunt actors for scaring your girlfriend or husband. You volunteered for this. You willingly walked into this experience
Seriously, don’t fucking touch actors. I know some peoples natural reaction to being scared is to punch. If you’re one of these people, DO NOT GO TO A HAUNT! You are putting THEIR livelihood at risk AND risking hospitalization
Don’t be afraid to tap out. Many haunted houses have a “safe word” or actor that acts as your guide in the haunted house. Don’t be afraid to tap out. We want you to have fun and be safe. Actors are NOT typically trained in any kind of mental health treatment (so they’re no use if you have a panic attack), and may or may not be CPR trained
Do not fucking touch the props. Seriously, haunts are expensive to put together and maintain
Lastly, don’t support mckamey manor. It is an unethical garbage heap of a “haunted house” that’s just torture porn for the owner who DOES NOT respect safe words and has endangered animals.
