Plot hole: It seems unlikely that Debbie would have managed to take the photographs of her husbands' murders she shows the Addams family at the end, especially considering the angle of the shot of the surgeon. He's not looking at the cam so she wasn't holding it.

The Addams are at it again, though between Pubert stealing scenes as the baby and Raul Julia's sudden demise, this sequel didn't last despite a few funny gags. Still, it is worth a look.

Debbie: Isn't he a lady killer?
Gomez Addams: Acquitted.
Question: Why does the boy scream like a maniac when he spots the Michael Jackson poster on the wall?
Answer: If memory serves, it's a poster for Heal the World? I think he probably screams because this song was WAY over-played on radio stations at the time! It certainly was in the UK where I am from so I imagine in America it was over-played so much more.
Chosen answer: Not only is it a reference to Jackson's general scary weirdness, but also his alleged pedophilia (child molestation), causing the boy to react in fear.
Impossible, the first pedophilia accusations were made just a few months before the movie came out.
Those accusations had been an open secret for a long time, though.

Answer: Michael Jackson was slated to record a song and music video for the film. The music video had him living in the Addams family mansion with angry townsfolk trying to drive him out of town for being scary and weird. The scene in the film was suppose to reflect that he scared "normal" kids, it had nothing to do with a scandal. When Evan Chandler started talking about his son being molested by Jackson, the song and music video were pulled and not included with the film. But the poster scene was left in. Later, when the scandal fully broke and more accusation were made, the joke of the scene took on another meaning.

Good thing the accusations were all false! :).
