Yes, they're broad comedies, but both movies are about thwarted murder plots. Some of the jokes are less zany than others, like Wednesday being prepared to watch a girl drown at camp. Having a subplot about a school shooting doesn't strike me as something that Barry Sonnenfeld would automatically refuse to include as being too tasteless, if he was still making those movies.

In conclusion, next year someone should request an Addams Family/Heathers crossover.
