In the new film, the Addams are singled out in their New Jersey neighbourhood for their "abnormal behaviour"."I think we are so scared of morbid themes that we freak our kids out," said Theron, adding: "Like anything in life, the more you talk about stuff, the more you turn the light on in the room and it's not so dark and it's not so scary."Talking about the legacy of the Addams clan, the actress had said: "When you think of (the Addams) being around since the sixties, that's pretty powerful that they've always had their same values. But, this moment and time, there needs to be so much more encouragement.""We need to question the norm a little bit more and we need to find kindness and understanding for others that might not look like us or might not talk like us or might not sound like us. So, to be a part of something like that, and I know children and their families are going to go see that, if that grabs them somewhere in their heart to think about things a little differently, boy, would that be great," she added.( With inputs from IANS )
