The Addams Family Mansion is the home of Gomez, Morticia, and the rest of their freakish gothic household known as the Addams Family. It is also the primary setting for the Addams Family comic strip as well as its media adaptations.
Overview
TV Series
In the original series, the house was given the address 0001 Cemetery Lane. Its design was also changed somewhat. Instead of being a dilapidated house, it was now practically a museum filled with odd statues, trophies, and other interesting things. The house also sported a Play Room with medieval racks, nailbeds, iron maidens, and stockades for "relaxing".
The house once again became a condemned mansion in the cartoon show The New Scooby-Doo Movies, in which the Addamses made a guest appearance. In the following series, the Addamses bought a recreational vehicle which resembled their mansion and drove it around the country. In the Halloween special, an entirely different mansion is shown.
Film Series
The two Addams Family movies, 1991's The Addams Family and 1993's The Addams Family Values, along with the 1990s animated series, resurrected the mansion's original exterior design from the Charles Addams cartoons. The movie The Addams Family had the mansion appearing as it did in Charles Addams' drawing of the family about to dump boiling oil on a group of carolers from the roof, a gag reenacted in that film.
In the 2019 adaptation, the mansion is a former mental asylum located on a hill in the outskirts of New Jersey which also houses a disembodied resident who wants the place to remain undisturbed.
In Other Media
In the stage musical, the mansion was moved to two acres in Central Park, New York City. These two acres had been in the family since they were deeded to Gomez' ancestor Alfonso the Enormous for services rendered to Queen Isabella of Spain.
