on the popular TV series, derived from Charles Addams’s classic cartoons. Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia are pitch-perfect as the morbidly affectionate Morticia and Gomez Addams, with able support from Christopher Lloyd as the bug-eyed stranger who may be the long-lost Fester, and Christina Ricci as Wednesday. Ruth Myers was nominated for her gorgeously Gothic costumes, and Anthony Cortino, Fern Buchner, Kathrine James, Kevin C. Haney, and Christopher C. Shihar were among the makeup artists and hairstylists who turned the cast into the spitting image of Addams’s iconic characters. DIRECTED BY: Barry Sonnenfeld.

Three young filmmakers venture into the Black Hills Forest of Maryland to investigate a local legend only to find unimaginable terror. This micro-budget horror film made use of its limited resources to craft a remarkably convincing “found footage” chiller and became a box-office blockbuster, aided by a marketing campaign that cleverly convinced audiences they were seeing real events.
