Halloween with the Addams Family is the seventh episode of the first season of the original series of The Addams Family. It first aired 30 October 1964 on ABC.

Synopsis[]

On the night of Halloween, Gomez and Morticia unknowingly invite two robbers into their home.

Plot Summary[]

Getting into the spirit of Halloween, Gomez carves Uncle Fester's likeness into a jack o'lantern, and Wednesday and Pugsley dress up to go trick-or-treating. Meanwhile, a pair of robbers fleeing the police hide in the Addams' yard. When the children leave, they find the men, and Gomez invites them into the house to play Halloween games. Gomez sees their bag full of loot and assumes the neighbors have given them money for Halloween, so he opens a drawer full of cash and gives them some more.

Gomez and Morticia go to the kitchen to make punch. Gomez becomes jealous when Morticia mentions Rupert Styx, a man to whom she was engaged as a silly young girl. She describes him as having beautiful, beady eyes, long fingernails, and a curling lip when he smiles. Meanwhile, the robbers plan to grab the rest of the Addamses' cash. Waiting for their opportunity, they tolerate such Addams oddness as bobbing for the crab and frightening Kitty Kat. They offer to play hide-and-go-seek, and when the Addamses hide, they grab the money and run, right into a police car.
