What do you know - another Addams Family vs. Munsters Poll

Apparently, the question of which television spook family is better--the Addams Family or the Munsters--is one that people are asking the whole internet over. I suppose this question is especially fitting for a blog called "Pop Culture Battles: When Pop Culture Icons meet head to head."

For anyone interested in voting, this poll even has a nice visual aid. It appears that the Addamses are in the lead at the moment.

VOTE in the The Addams Family vs The Munsters Poll

Fanart

Becca of No Smoking in the Skull Cave recently made this cool drawing of the Addams family. I urge everyone to check out her blog, where you can see many other great works of art, including a drawing of the Munsters.

By the way, if anyone else has Addams Family fanart they think would be fitting to post here, please let me know.

Addams Family Fans Take Action

Addams Family Fans rocked the vote in a recent blogspot poll!

The results of the Definitive Monster Family Poll:


The poll's creator attributed the Addams win to this blog, stating "An outside group has referenced our poll and has stacked the vote with their Addams Family fans! ... I will not contest the results--clearly, the Addams' had more of an aggressive ground game than the Munsters camp. They communicated more effectively and got their people organized."

And it looks like the poll did indeed get an influx of visitors from our site:


So, congratulations to those of you who voted for the Addams Family. And many thanks to all the participants in the poll! Also, a very special thanks to the poll's creator and the Munster Family! Hopefully, there aren't any hard feelings.

Addams Family Fanfiction

Another piece of fanfiction by corset_fiend of livejournal.

Title: Semblable à Mère , Semblable à File
Rating: Solid M even NC-17. Not Graphic, I just like to be careful! It's Gomez and Morticia, people!

Summary: Wednesday comes of age, but both parents deal with it very differently. Much chaos, romance and general Addam's kinkiness/madness ensues.

Interview with Christopher Hart, hand actor Addams Family's Thing

“The man with the movie star hand,” and “The most famous right hand in Hollywood” are just two of the quotes reviewers have used to describe the talents of master magician Christopher Hart.
