ABOUT WEDNESDAY: SEASON 2
Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.

Context: The haunting piano rendition of *The Cranberries’* 1994 anti-war anthem "Zombie" plays during a pivotal moment in the Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility, underscoring the episode’s themes of captivity, rebellion, and hidden horrors .

- The scene unfolds in the asylum’s secret basement, where Wednesday and Uncle Fester discover the "Long-term Outcast Integration Study" (LOIS) — a program that faked outcasts’ deaths to experiment on them. The dimly lit cells and tormented prisoners create a gothic, visceral atmosphere reminiscent of Tim Burton’s signature style .
- As the piano version of *"Zombie"* swells, the camera lingers on the traumatized faces of the imprisoned outcasts, their hollow stares mirroring the song’s lyrics (*"In your head, in your head… they are fighting"*). The music’s melancholic tone contrasts with the visceral chaos of Slurp the zombie attacking guards and Judi’s sinister reveal as the Avian mastermind .


This scene exemplifies the show’s knack for juxtaposing nostalgic music with macabre visuals, much like Season 1’s *"Goo Goo Muck"* dance sequence. The *"Zombie"* cover becomes a sonic metaphor for the outcasts’ rebellion against their captors .
