Vic Mizzy, the man who wrote and sang the Addams Family theme tune, has died aged 93.
The composer's manager Jonathan Wolfson confirmed that Mizzy passed away on Saturday at his Los Angeles home, although the cause of death is not yet known.
Mizzy sang the famous Addams Family signature song himself and even performed the trademark finger snaps.
First used on the television series which ran from 1964 - 1966, his song was reworked for the 1990s Addams Family movies.
Mizzy also wrote the theme tune for comedy series Green Acres and had worked with stars including Doris Day, Dean Martin and Perry Como.
