Addams Family Values ​​is coming to 4K Blu-ray for the first time, just in time for Thanksgiving

There are plenty of holiday-themed movies out there, but there aren’t many that are specifically Thanksgiving-themed in the United States. One Thanksgiving favorite, though, is the darkly hilarious Addams Family Values ​​, the second film adaptation of the long-running 1960s Addams Family sitcom and the predecessor to Netflix’s Wednesday. And this fall, Addams Family Values ​​is coming to 4K Blu-ray for the first time ever, 31 years after its initial release in 1993. You can watch it on Thanksgiving, then jump right into the Christmas season with How the Grinch Stole Christmas , which is also coming to 4K Blu-ray for the first time ever on the same day.

Addams Family Values ​​will be released on 4K Blu-ray on October 29, and the release will include a digital copy code.

In this story, the sinister Addams family (Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Wednesday, Pugsley, and Grandma) welcomes a new family member, Gomez and Morticia’s new baby, Pubert. They hire a nanny named Debbie to care for Pubert, but it turns out she’s a serial killer who plans to seduce, marry, and kill Uncle Fester. Part of her plan is to send Wednesday and Pugsley to summer camp, where they must put on a Thanksgiving play—an unforgettable play, and a big part of why Addams Family Values ​​is a cult classic to this day.

Another major factor is how Addams Family Values ​​balances its extremely dark sense of humor with a light-hearted tone – it’s a balance that many films have attempted, but few have truly achieved, with Addams Family Values ​​being a rare example of a film that has achieved it.

The Addams Family franchise has been around for quite some time. very for a long time — the titular family first appeared in a comic strip in The New Yorker in 1938, then was adapted into a sitcom that ran for two seasons starting in 1964, followed by an animated series in 1973 and 1992, two live-action films and a live-action TV series in the 1990s, a pair of animated films in 2019 and 2021, and the 2022 Netflix series Wednesday, which may very well be the franchise’s most popular iteration yet

With this 4K release, Addams Family Values ​​finally joins its slightly less dark and cynical predecessor, The Addams Family, which was released in 4K a few years ago, both in standard and steelbook editions. Additionally, Wednesday is one of the few Netflix series getting a Blu-ray release, and it’s currently half price. So if you don’t want to wait for Addams Family Values ​​4K to come out in October, you have other options in the meantime.

Speaking of Netflix series getting Blu-ray releases, two popular anime series based on video games are also set to launch in October. Arcane, the beloved anime series set in the League of Legends universe, will be released on 4K Blu-ray with a limited edition Steelbook case on October 8. That same day, Castlevania: Nocturne will be released on 1080p Blu-ray, and pre-orders are discounted on Amazon.
