Ancestors
The ancestors function as the chorus of the show. They are summoned from the dead by the Addams family in the opening scene. It is part of the family’s annual ritual to celebrate life and the Addams values.
However, Fester retains their presence on Earth to help him aid Wednesday as she brings her new boyfriend home. Each of the ancestors is an Addams family member from a different time period.
They should be markedly different and specific in their costumes so that the audience immediately recognizes their native time and place.
