Barry Sonnenfeld directs Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia and Christina Ricci in this dark comedy sequel where the creepy and the kooky family welcome a new babysitter who has murderous intentions towards Uncle Fester.
The first act is such a hilarious onslaught of jokes that this sequel threatens to outpace and outclass the already beloved first film. It does (unfortunately) settle down once the two main plots kick in but everything that follows is still very satisfyingly on point.
