Picture 1 of 15

There's only one thing more vexing to a classy vampire like Barnabas Collins than being buried alive in a coffin for 200 years. And that's being dug up in the tacky 1970s and having to share your mansion with your dysfunctionally mortal descendants. Well, at least they'll eventually die.

Since the dawn of time, people with nothing in common and zero to say to each other have been coexisting in homes against their will. We call this a "family." But it wasn't until the invention of the camera that every uneasy hug and forced smile between these disparate souls could be preserved eternally.

Thanks to the hilarious website Awkward Family Photos, these embarrassing moments are now available for the entire world to mock. And with Tim Burton set to release "Dark Shadows" (May 11), a gothic comedy about a frighteningly dysfunctional family, we're opening up our own photo album of movies' most motley clans.
