Do-It-Yourself Gomez Addams Halloween Costume

He’s ooky and he’s spooky. He’s also incredibly stylish. That’s why Gomez Addams remains one of our favorite characters. As a Halloween costume idea, Gomez Addams is simple.

Items you will need:

A dark suit (preferably pin-striped)
Dark moustache
Cigar
Fake money
Hand
Sword (optional)

The key to Gomez Addams is style. He always wore the dashing dark suit — usually pinstriped. He had the look of the continental with that dark moustache and the ever-present cigar. Slick your hair back and, if necessary, add something to darken it so that it matches the dark moustache. Of course, no Gomez would be complete without the lovely and deadly Morticia by his side. If you must do without Morticia (buck up, soldier!) we recommend carrying lots of fake money (Gomez is wealthy and he loves to flaunt that) and a hand that can serve as Thing, the Addams Family’s loyal friend.

Frightening Fact:
“The Addams Family” premiered on Sept. 18, 1964. John Astin played Gomez Addams, a wealthy lawyer who lived with his creepy, crawly relatives at the big house at 000 Cemetery Lane. For two seasons viewers delighted in the reactions of visitors to the house, which had a swordfish mounted on the wall with a human leg in its mouth.
