A character from Charles Addams' The Addams Family. He is completely bald, has dark circles under his wild eyes, and can illuminate lightbulbs by putting them in his mouth.

In the original Addams family television series, uncle fester was played by Jackie Coogan.

In the two Addams Family movies from the 1990's, he was played by Christoper Lloyd.

This zany, folically challenged character is also the hero of "Fester's Quest" which was an amusing game for the nearly antique original NES system.

Our hero, Uncle Fester, finds himself in the precarious situation of having to save his town from an alien invasion. He battles creatures throughout the region with an upgradable gun, TNT, light bulbs, and other objects. His adventures take him through a park, houses, even a sewer system brimming with attacking rats and noxious methane bubbles. Along the way he gets help from other beloved Addams Family members like Pugsley, Wednesday and Lurch.

When Fester's health is poor, it's nothing that a hot dog or two can't cure - as long as he makes it to the nearest snack shack before getting killed.
