sadly)

PUGSLEY:

For the picture?

Fester pops a light bulb into his mouth. It lights.

Pugsley giggles.

Gomez stands up, having finished the pumpkin. He placesit on a table, and lights the candle inside. The pumpkinglows. It has ONE EYE IN THE MIDDLE OF ITS FOREHEAD.

Everyone oohs and ahhs.

FESTER:

You know, all the old sayings are

true. There's no place like home.

And blood is thicker than water.

MORTICIA:

And just as refreshing.

GOMEZ:

All right, everybody - time for agame! What shall it be - bobbingfor apples?

MARGARET:

Charades?

COUSIN IT:

Ooot glibber glip.

MORTICIA:

Of course - "Wake The Dead."

FESTER:

(delighted, to Gomezremembering this childhoodfavorite)

"Wake The Dead"!

GOMEZ:

(equally excited)

"Wake The Dead"! Out to the cemetery!

Come on, everyone!

Everyone starts to exit, chattering happily.

MARGARET:

(to Granny)

I've never played this before how

GRANNY:

Did you bring a shovel?

PUGSLEY:

Uncle Fester, will you be on my team?

WEDNESDAY:

No, mine!

FESTER:

(to Wednesday)

I tell you what - we'll give you ahead start. Three skulls and a

pelvis - how's that?

Pugsley and Wednesday cheer and run out. Fester faces

Gomez.

FESTER:

My own dear brother - who could bemore precious?

GOMEZ:

Blood is thicker than water, old man.

MORTICIA:

(touched by the

brothers devotion)

And just as refreshing.

Gomez offers his hand. Fester takes it, in a manlyhandshake.

GOMEZ:

Let us never be parted.

FESTER:

Let us always be as one.

Fester flips Gomez in a JUDO FLIP.

Gomez LANDS

At the foot of a glass display case. The camera pans upthe case. It contains ABIGAIL AND TULLY, EXPERTLY

MOUNTED AND STUFFED.

Fester rises, dusting himself off.

FESTER:

(joyfully, to Gomez

and Morticia)

Come on!

MORTICIA:

We'll catch up.

Fester runs out.

177 OMITTED 177

178 INT. FRONT HALL 178

Everyone is gone. Morticia and Gomez have drifted into

the front hall; they are moving toward the front door.

MORTICIA:

(deeply satisfied)

Our family... what are they?

GOMEZ:

Oh, Tish - what a night. Everyone

-- together at last. What more

could we ask?

MORTICIA:

Gomez?

Morticia holds up the garment she's been knitting - it'sa BABY JUMPER WITH THREE LEGS.

GOMEZ:

(ecstatic)

Cara mia... is it true?

MORTICIA:

(shaking her head"yes")

Oui, mon cher...

They embrace, as the front door SWINGS OPEN, of its ownaccord.

CUT TO:

179 EXT. ADDAMS MANSION - SAME TIME 179

Morticia and Gomez are silhouetted in the doorway. There

is a FULL MOON. In the distance, a wolf HOWLS. WispyGHOSTS flit through the night sky. A human SCREAM is

heard, followed by Granny's CACKLE. In the cemetery,

torches are seen, like fireflies.

FADE OUT.
