The creepy and kooky character of Gomez Addams has seen several onscreen adaptations, but which costume is most accurate to the comics?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Throughout all the on-screen adaptations of The Addams Family the various Gomez Addams costumes have changed to reflect each unique interpretation of the original comic strip character. First created by illustrator and humorist Charles Addams in 1938, his creepy and kooky Addams Family comic panels graced the pages of The New Yorker for years before eventually branching out into other media.
9 The Addams Family Many 1990s Saturday morning cartoons have been forgotten, and the ill-fated Addams Family cartoon series is one of the lesser adaptations in the massive franchise. Right off the bat, the Gomez Addams costumes in the series are imbued with a shot of color, and instead of a dark purple or black, his suit is a light pinkish hue. The suit jacket is Gomez's signature double-breasted style, but the pinstripes are slightly farther apart than in many of Addams' drawings.
7 The Addams Family Barry Sonnenfeld's playful re-imagining of the family gave the franchise a much-needed facelift in the 1991 film, but it actually featured one of the less-accurate Gomez Addams costumes. Raul Julia's costume opted for black-and-white block stripes instead of the usual pinstripes, and the traditional necktie worn by Gomez was swapped out for a smart bow tie.
5 The Addams Family Values Raul Julia's second time as Gomez Addams made major improvements on the costume, and brought it closer to the look from the comics. The blocky black and white stripes were replaced with a more subtle black stripe against a gray suit, and it maintained the double-breasted cut. Instead of a solid white one, Gomez wore a lightly striped shirt which was closer to the patterned shirt that he wore in the drawings.
