The Halloween season is here again and every time it comes, it brings out those good ol’ nostalgic feelings. And with those feelings also comes the return of Cinemassacre's Monster Madness! This year I’m gonna take you through a little TV history talking about one TV episode per decade, from the 60s to the 2010s. That’s 6 videos, each dedicated to a show I admire. First up is the 1960s with The Addams Family - Halloween, Addams Style!

Great to have Monster Madness back, and I can't think of a better show to start it off with. I love how _The Addams Family_ is sort of the opposite of most sitcom families; weird and macabre on the surface, but at their core, everyone truly loves and supports each other.

My dad actually grew up in Westfield, New Jersey, where Charles Addams lived as a kid. We always passed by his childhood home and the neighboring home that inspired the Addams mansion while visiting grandparents, and it's cool to see Westfield hosting annual Addams-themed events in October. Especially after Wednesday became a Netflix hit.

I would leave The Addams Family streaming 24/7 off of Pluto TV during October on year, now they have it all year long. While it’s great that John Astin is still around, it’s unfortunate that he’s the only remaining cast member. Puglsy played by Ken Weatherwax passed away by the end of 2014. And early this year, Lisa Loring who played Wednesday.

Monster Madness is back baby! I like this new direction of focusing on Halloween TV specials or episodes of a Series. As a kid of the 90s a lot of the TGIF episodes come to mind like Full House, Family Matters, Home improvement (not TGIF but ABC) Boy meets world, Step by Step, and other shows other networks like Drew Carey show, Night Court, simpsons, and so many others. In early 2000s I would always look forward to the Office Halloween episodes. The last Halloween special I enjoyed was Marvels Werewolf by Night. Sure there was Walking Dead but not many halloween focused tv specials or sitcoms or may I'm just old.

Likewise, my SoCal grade school had school festivals in the 80s with bobbing for apples too. If the apple had a long stem that made it easier, but if you couldn't get it after a couple tries, the teachers basically just told you to pretend and grab one. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a generation gap where vital apple bobbing skills were lost.
