* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler:Craven decides the best time to start directly antagonizing Fester is when he's standing next to a bookshelf full of magical books that can all unleash whatever their contents refer to. Unsurprisingly, he uses a book on Hurricane Irene to send her and Tully out of the house.]]

* InsultBackfire: Played with as Ms Craven gets increasingly frustrated with the Addamses and Fester's integration into the family:
--> "They're not your family, Gordon -- ''I'' am. They don't love you -- ''I'' do. They're evil... and corrupt... and degraded... ''I'' can give you that.

* UglyGuyHotWife: Fester and Debbie.



* WouldHurtAChild: It's implied--if not flat-out clear--that the camp counselors abuse the minority children. While rehearsing Gary's play, he gets frustrated and roughly grabs one of the kids and takes her off-stage. She later shows up in a ''wheelchair''. [[spoiler:Debbie also tries to kill all the Addamses at the climax of the movie, including Wednesday and Pugsley]].

* WouldHurtAChild: It's implied--if not flat-out clear--that the camp counselors abuse the minority children. At the very least, they have little concern for their safety--when the camera pans across them, several of them are sporting casts and/or bandages. While rehearsing Gary's play, he gets frustrated and roughly grabs one of the kids and takes her off-stage. She later shows up in a ''wheelchair''. [[spoiler:Debbie also tries to kill all the Addamses at the climax of the movie, including Wednesday and Pugsley]].

* RailEnthusiast: There are few things that would get Gomez's interest as much as comparing something to a train-wreck. And thanks to his huge train model he can get to watch and cause his own train-wrecks literally.

** '''Lurch.''' He doesn't even state his signature (from the television show) "You rang?" in either film.

* RiddleForTheAges: We never find out what "the secret password" was that Gomez nearly chokes "Fester" to death over. It's said to be "the word (Gomez and Fester) used a hundred times a day, their special name for each other", but it's never revealed to viewers. WordOfGod says it's "you demented freak", which, quite ironically, "Fester" calls Gomez after Gomez lets him up.

* AdaptationDistillation: Lovingly matches each character to superb actors in their prime having the time of their lives, adds fantastic scenery and special effects that ride the line between blockbuster spectacle and SoBadItsGood like Seattle Slew, then [[{{Troperiffic}} plays every trope to the hilt]] and polishes the entire macabre masterpiece to a mirror shine. Then they do it ''again'' with the next movie. Then Gomez suffered Actor Existence Failure when Creator/RaulJulia succumbed to cancer. Even ''Creator/TimCurry'' had trouble filling ''those'' shoes. The best part is that it not only uses the show, but it also uses a number of the darker gags from the original New Yorker cartoons.
