Summary

Wednesday Addams is the breakout star of Charles Addams' comic-strip-turned-multi-media-juggernaut: THE ADDAMS FAMILY! This week on Geek History Lesson, we are getting creepy and cooky, mysterious and spooky in celebration of Wednesday season 2, part 2 on Netflix! Learn all about Wednesday's comic strip origins, how cute she was, and her evolution into the dark dive we love to watch today! Did you know the iconic dance isn't just a TikTok trend, but reaches all the way back to the 1964 series with ties to both Lord of the Rings AND Batman 66?
