La famille Addams, qui vivait jusque-là retranchée dans leur demeure, juchée en haut d’une colline brumeuse du New Jersey, se prépare à recevoir des membres éloignés encore plus étranges qu’eux à l’occasion de la Mazurka de Pugsley. Une cérémonie aux allures de rite de passage qui doit se dérouler devant la famille au complet et où le jeune garçon doit prouver qu’il est prêt à devenir un véritable mâle Addams. Mais ils ne savent pas que leur voisine du bas de la colline — la décoratrice d’intérieur et animatrice de télévision aux dents longues Margaux Needler — est en train de mettre sur pied un quartier préfabriqué, tout en couleurs pop et en perfection. Quand le brouillard se lève, révélant la demeure des Addams, la sombre bâtisse semble se dresser entre la jeune ambitieuse et son rêve de vendre toutes les maisons du quartier pour devenir la personnalité la plus plébiscitée que la télévision ait jamais créée.

Prior to the events of the film, a scientist is ordered by his dictator to create a machine in the apparent name of progress. The Scientist uses his own intellect to create the B.R.A.I.N., a thinking robot. However, the dictator quickly seizes it and integrates it into the Fabrication Machine, an armature that can construct an army of war machines to destroy the dictator's enemies. Lacking a soul, the Fabrication Machine becomes corrupted and decides to exterminate almost all life on Earth. The Fabrication Machine reprograms the other war machines to turn against humans by using toxic gas and chemical weapons. On the verge of destruction, the Scientist uses alchemy to create nine homunculus-like rag dolls known as "Stitchpunks" using portions of his own soul via a talisman and dies upon finishing the last one.

Sabrina is turning 13 years old receiving her first magic wand from Enchantra herself and as custom for all witchlings, she's off to the Witch Academy to learn the three principles of witchdom (to use magic wisely, be true to one's friends, and be true to one's self). Feeling inferior because she's only a half-witch, Sabrina conceals her mixed heritage and manages to rise to a position of popularity. Sabrina joins her new friends in making fun of Nicole Candler, a "bookworm" who doesn't fit in, but, when Sabrina discovers that Nicole is a half-witch like herself, the pair become good friends. Sabrina's other friends figure something is going on between Sabrina and Nicole and set out to prove that Nicole is a half witch. They accomplish this by levitating up to a tree outside and find the half star on her hand. Nicole is ridiculed to the point that there is no end in plain view for Nicole. Sabrina visits Nicole in her dorm room and come together and begin their journey to the witches' realm in hopes of becoming full witches.
