Cast of classic blockbuster reunites 33 years after film hit the big screen – do you know who they are?

HIS get-together looks a scream as The Addams Family film cast reunite more than 30 years on.

Carel Struycken, who played Lurch, Jimmy Workman (Pugsley), Christopher Lloyd (Uncle Fester), Anjelica Huston (Morticia) and Christina Ricci (Wednesday) met up at Los Angeles Comic Con.

The Addams Family, originally a comic strip, was a hit TV series before the movie was released in 1991.

The sequel, Addams Family Values, came out two years later.

Sharing the pics online, Christopher wrote: “The family that haunts together, stays together.”

Raul Julia, who played the role of Addams Family patriarch Gomez, died in 1994.

Raul had been secretly battling stomach cancer for three years before his death and had undergone surgery for it.

There was also a Netflix spin-off, called Wednesday, in 2022.

Thirty years after playing the matriarch of the family, Anjelica Huston looks like she could step right back into the role with ease.

Former child star Christina, 42, was just 11 when she played sullen Wednesday.

The actress has since landed roles in movies such as Now and Then, Sleepy Hollow, Penelope, and last year’s The Matrix Resurrections.

Standing at 7ft tall, Dutch actor Carel, 74, played the role of gentle giant Lurch and has since been typecast because of his distinctive look.

Jimmy, now 41, had an unlikely road to fame when he accompanied his sister who was auditioning for the role of Wednesday.

The then eight-year-old was spotted playing on set by director Barry Sonnenfeld, who asked him to read for the part and promptly cast him as the devious oldest child of the family.

With roles spanning back to the 70s, the 83-year-old Christopher Lloyd has had an enviable Hollywood career.

Before The Addams Family, Christopher had already won major awards and was known for playing Dr Emmett Brown in the Back to the Future films.
