Two of the wackiest and cultiest TV shows - The Addams Family and The Munsters - first appeared on American TV in 1964. Both have been continually repeated on both sides of the Atlantic. This book explains the background of both series, introduces the stars behind the corps-white make-up, and contains every spooky little detail of each episode. All the spin-offs are described. An overview chapter sets The Munsters and The Addams Family in the context of 1960s fantasy TV.
