Remember this? It was recreated in the first scene in the Addams Family movie.

Of course, the movie cuts away before the boiling liquid hits the carolers. It's a great example of the power of editing.

Can you imagine this comic with a second panel? Or if the film had included the carolers screaming while the theme song played?

The difference between a comedy and a tragedy, between a hero and a villain, is all in what you cut out.

Charles Addams cartoon. The Addams Family mansion on a winter night. In a high balcony, Gomez and Morticia watch as Lurch tips a steaming cauldron. Far below, a group of Christmas carolers sing at their front door.

rainey 🌻

I never did get around to writing an #introduction over here, did I? Not sure there's much point anymore, but here goes:

I'm rainey and I'm a shy weirdo who needs encouragement to let my freak flag fly. When I'm not being ooky, I'm shamelessly appreciating cute kittens and the like. (Here I pause and reach out to pet @netkitty ) Gen X, child-free, married, and an abject failure at adulting. The sunflower in my display name is the "invisible disability" symbol.

This is my third Mastodon account and second "definitely probably not a cult" experience (the first being pretty much the only reason I'm still on reddit). :bb: My first Masto account is @raineyday@mstdn.games [MSTDN.games] where I talk about #GenshinImpact a lot, and my second is @raineyday@neurodifferent.me [NeuroDifferent.me] because I'm not autistic but I do have #ADHD and #Tourette, although I don't post to the second one very often and when I do, it tends to be boosts, memes, and information-seeking.

Anyhow, if you can't tell from my avatars, I'm a fan of the #AddamsFamily and #DoctorWho. I also despise #spoilers with the blazing heat of a trillion trillion suns, so always ask "How caught up are you with XYZ?" before discussing with me (and ponder for a moment why "Have you gotten to the part where they--?" is a terrible horrible no-good very bad way to ask).

I created this account on a Wednesday the 13th (naturally), but the timestamp on my account page got messed up and fails to reflect this. It's goth erasure, I'm tellin' ya! 🦇

I write blog-like toots on Wednesdays (of course) under the hashtag #raineyWednesday and tag @weirdfolks

I do my best to write good #AltText for my images. Even when I have low spoons, I strive for a bare minimum of "acceptable". I have similar standards for what I will boost. If there is no alt-text or it is insufficient, I will either leave it or I will "steal" the image to post myself with better alt-text. This applies to all of my accounts, of course.

I come to Mastodon for virtual human interaction and fun times, and while it's nice to take a break from politics and the news, please don't mistake that for me being so-called "apolitical". I am quite progressive-left and often wonder how it came to be that I had to trade in the label of "liberal" for that. Perhaps a combination of I moved forward a little bit and they moved backwards a lot? But that's enough of that topic. This is just background info, not my desired focus.

I must say that my groove>e #earbuds make me smile everyday when I power them up. Instead of the usual overexcited youthful exclamation of "Connected!!😁", like it was the best thing to happen EVER, I get what sounds like a classic 'totally' fed up teenage girl saying "connected🙄" in a voice similar to #wednesday of the #addamsfamily - a brilliant touch! 🤣

I don't know who this is for, but the Addams Family cartoon movie from a few years ago is really quite good. It flopped, but the family is spot on, so true to the original cartoons. It's not the classic show (among the best shows ever) and it's not the Raul Julia movies: it's its own take, and it's delightful.

Being a cartoon, it pulls off the lethality and accidental lucky survival of everyone better than the live action versions have. It's really fun, give it a try. #AddamsFamily
