It seems appropriate to share this photo on the Wednesday before Halloween -

Charles Addams was one of many celebrated guests in the Palm Beach home of Nancy and Joseph Dryer. Addams was the creator of the Addams Family, a ghoulish clan that appeared in cartoons in The New Yorker before starring in the 1960s television show, The Addams Family. 

Here are some other photos of Casa de los Angeles, the Dryers's 1925 Spanish-style house in Palm Beach, that appeared in Town and Country. Marion Sims Wyeth designed the home.

"The Casa de los Angeles guestbook is a particularly vibrant social register: George Plimpton, George Hamilton, King Juan Carlos of Spain (when he was still Prince of Asturias), Charles Addams, Karl Rove, Sarah Ferguson before she met Prince Andrew."
