They’re creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky. You guessed it. It’s The Addams Family, but more specifically, we're talking about the ghoulish sister of the bunch. After the release of the Netflix series Wednesday, where Jenna Ortega took the world by storm with her performance as Wednesday Addams, it is safe to say that the iconic goth family is still a pop culture staple for Halloween. And with Wednesday’s instantly recognizable style (which is arguably one of the best costumes for women and perhaps, one of the best Halloween costumes of all time), we’re sure there will be no shortage of "little death trap"-inspired outfits come October 31. Over the years, Wednesday Addams costumes have become a classic Halloween look. Thanks to the release of the Netflix series Wednesday last fall and its highly-anticipated second season, it’s a costume that’s bound to be more popular than ever before. Christina Ricci's iconic character said it best: "This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac — they look just like everyone else." That darkness — not to mention how easy it is to make this a DIY costume — Wednesday Addams is a timeless Halloween costume favorite. To help you get into character, let's look at exactly who this wondrous weirdo is! Wednesday started as a comic strip character who had no name. She and the rest of her family were stars of a New Yorker comic strip for years until they graduated to the television screen in 1964. Charles Addams named her after the nursery rhyme "Wednesday's child is full of woe" even though she started out as a rather good-natured gal! She danced with her gigantic butler friend and raised spiders to be friendly. Okay, sure, her favorite toys were headless dolls, but that doesn't mean she wasn't delightful!
