14 Wednesday Addams Halloween Costumes For The Whole Family
They’re creepy and they’re kooky.
Everyone knows the signature organ tune that opens the Addams Family’s theme song. If you have a kid who loves all things dark and creepy, chances are you’ve seen your fair share of the Addams crew. Whether your family are fans of the original Addams family movies and shows, or you all piled onto the couch to binge the Netflix series Wednesday, there are Wednesday Addams Halloween costumes that pay homage to every iteration of the character.
There are generations of Addams Family fans thanks to the original series, which debuted in 1964. So many movies and animated series have followed, culminating in Netflix’s latest take on the classic starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams. Rocking Wednesday’s signature straight black pigtails and black and white wardrobe, with some iconic new looks from the show, Ortega has put the Addams family’s daughter back on everyone’s minds, and ensured she’ll be a very popular Halloween costume this year.
If your whole family will be trick-or-treating together, don’t be shy — your Addams Family can dress in costumes inspired by Morticia, Gomez, Pugsley, Grandmama, Cousin Itt, Lurch, and so many more memorable characters. But if what you’re really hunting for right now is the perfect Wednesday Addams Halloween costume, there are plenty to choose from.
1A Wednesday Addams costume inspired by Jenna Ortega
Available in sizes 4T up to 12 Y, this Wednesday Addams-inspired tulle costume dress should fit kids of many different ages. It’s fashioned after Wednesday’s dress she wears to her school dance, and it brings all the same dark drama.
2Wednesday’s school uniform costume
Does your kid want to rock Wednesday’s striped school uniform from Nevermore Academy? Then they’ll need this Wednesday Addams uniform costume, available in sizes small through 3XL. Just note that the wig isn’t included, so you’ll need to sort the hair situation out separately.
3A toddler Wednesday Addams Halloween costume
Want your little one to look more like a throwback Wednesday Addams in a black and white collared dress with bright white buttons? This toddler Wednesday Addams costume includes the dress and wig, but unfortunately not the headless doll (or fortunately, right?).
4A kid’s Wednesday Addams costume that comes with the wig
Yes, it matches the toddler one perfectly. This kids’ Wednesday Addams costume is one of the only Wednesday Addams looks that actually comes with the wig styled after her signature braids. It’s the one to buy for parents who just want to get costume shopping done all at once.
5A Wednesday Addams costume that lights up
Your Wednesday-loving child will absolutely lose it over this light-up Wednesday Addams LED party costume dress. The purple lights add an eerie glow to the ruffled skirt (and, bonus points to parents, will make your child more visible in their all-black outfit while trick-or-treating at night).
6A women’s Wednesday Addams costume
Be honest, you wanted it in your size, too. This one doesn’t light up, but the women’s Wednesday Addams dress costume looks like so much fun to wear. Just find some black shoes from your closet and off you go.
