The movies are fine, and there’s nothing wrong if you enjoy them. But for myself John Astin and Carolyn Jones are the iconic couple. But then I was born over a decade before the movies. But just two years after the television shows 1975 Halloween special. So it may be a generational thing.
This will always be Morticia and Gomez Addams in my head.
