Adding more than just make-up to the character, Morticia Addams is always lit separately from everyone else in a scene. Her lighting always consists of one beam of light across her eyes that gradually fades outward to enhance her classic look.
Christina Ricci said the stupidest question she was ever asked during an interview was while promoting this film. She said, "When I was 13, one woman asked me if I'd gone through puberty yet, and if I had gotten my period. And of course, me being a little smartass, I was like, 'No, I'm going through menopause.' But still that sticks with me. I was like, 'I'm 13, you're asking me about my period?' Fortunately, I come from a very sarcastic family, so that's usually how I deal with it."

Wednesday and Pugsley's old-fashioned swimsuits are Victorian styles, circa the late 1800s to early 1900s. In fact, throughout the film numerous references and styles from the Victorian era are seen in the Addams household. The modest black clothes, the towering house, and the decor are all from the Victorian and Edwardian era. The family has very few modern items or fixtures in the household (we do however see Debbie watching television).
