With the countdown officially on to the release of Netflix’s new Addams Family series Wednesday, the streamer has shared the hauntingly familiar opening title sequence. One that will have long-term fans of the family clicking their fingers with devilish glee. Fans were licking their lips when Tim Burton signed on to helm the series.

Once enrolled, she will encounter werewolves, sirens, psychics, and many more creatures that go bump in the night.

But fear not, this Wednesday is no one’s sidekick as she investigates the monstrous killing spree and faces down the scariest threat of all: other teens.
