A huge success in the 1960s, the 'Addams Family' (1991) mixed horror and comedy, and is still remembered today for its iconic characters. Its house has served as inspiration for series, games and even architectural projects that intended to take the Venetian and Gothic style beyond the screen. In 2019, Booking, a hotel and accommodation platform, made available a replica of the Addams family's rooms in the Brooklyn neighborhood of New York (USA), for fans who wanted to visit a space that was pure nostalgia.
