 Eudora
"Grandmama" Addams
Gomez and Fester's Mother. Eudora is a full time witch and
is
licensed through the Department of Witchcraft. While
her spells, potions and hexes don't always work out very well,
she
does try her best.
She loves her family very much and tries to help them out with advise
and sorcery at every opportunity. She does most of the cooking for the family.
Grandmama Addams Makeup
Use
a pale gray-white on face and neck, blood red lip color, heavy black eye liner and lots of
mascara. Black fingernail polish. Also, Grandmama Addams is
quite old, so you may want to draw on some "wrinkles" using
a gray or black eye liner pencil. Just make a big
smile and draw into every crease your face makes then blend
in with a cosmetic sponge.
 Eudora's
hair is always very wild and frizzy looking, so if you don't
already have long hair, you'll need to buy a long wig. The "Black
and White Vampire" wig pictured to the right is a typical
Halloween wig available at Halloween stores and works well
for Grandmama Addams hair. You will want to curl the wig with
tight curlers just like you would with real hair, then carefully
frizz it out with a hair pick and brush until you get the
desired style. Lastly, you will want to spray it down with
enough hair spray to hold
it in place for Halloween night.
 Grandmama Addams Costume
While there's no
actual "Grandmama Addams" costume, and never has been
to our knowledge, the "Classic Witch Costume" works quite
well.
The "Classic Witch" costume set includes a black pointy
witch hat with attached scarf, a cape and a form-fitting,
button up top with a long skirt. The "Classic Witch Costume"
costume set and other Addams Family costumes are available at
your local costume store.
 Grandmama Addams is well known for wearing a shawl, so you
will definitely want to add either a black, gray or dark purple colored
one to your Halloween costume set.
An assortment of large, gaudy necklaces will finish off the ensemble.
Local thrift stores are a great place to find shawl's and
cheap costume jewelry. You might want to check out a local
Halloween store for a bat, pentagram and other Goth type
necklaces.
Grandmama Addams
Accessories
A large witches cauldron is the perfect accoutrement for
her. Plastic ones can be bought in mass retailers and
Halloween shops during the Halloween season. Or, if at a Halloween party she's the best person to
serve the punch from a spooky
Halloween punch bowl. A witches broom and a deck of
fortune telling cards, such as the "Gypsy Witch" cards add a
nice touch.
Grandmama Addams Quotes
"A mother knows her son's
skull better than anyone."
