Gather ’round children, Father Burton is reimagining yet another dark and kooky concept for a beloved classic of a book/movie/cartoon/everything that was already original at one point or another.

But this isn’t a Burton-bashing blog, it’s a celebration of a new franchise he will create for Hot Topic chickies to drool over all over again. This time, it’s The Addams Family, and it’s everything you could expect from Tim.

The new film will probably have Johnny Depp. It will probably feature a new score by Danny Elfman. Helena Bonham Carter will probably guest star. It’ll probably have some 3-D thrown in there.

More importantly, he’s returning to his signature stop-motion medium to tell the story of our favorite creepy family. This time, the characters will be inspired by the original Charles Addams comic strip as an homage to the late New Yorker cartoonist who first created them, so don’t expect a Christina Ricci-looking Wednesday.
