The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the 1991 black comedy The Addams Family. Based on the comic strip and the old television series, the film focuses on the titular family who are creepy and kooky, mysterious and ooky.
The quote happens near the end of the film, which just so happens to fall on Halloween. Cousin Itt’s date talks to Wednesday Adams (played by Christina Ricci) and asks her where her costume is as she’s just wearing her ordinary (for her) clothes. This is when Wednesday delivers the quote.
Geek wisdom: People all around us have a dark side but we usually never get to see them. This is just a warning as people who wish to do us harm don’t really look like monsters; they look like regular people.
