I don't really get what the Addams Family are?

My totally real wife is sick and watching this movie. I guess I love it. But what are they?

Are they dead? There's a scene where they are playing with a train in the basement and there's like a whole entire person on the train reading the newspaper completely not fazed by the fact he's in a model train?

One of them is a zombie? one is a hand?

They kill each other?

Are we meant to relate to them because they are weirdos and misfits who stick together? Or is it some commentary about how old money is insular, bizarre, and death-obsessed?

Really lots of questions about The Addams Family.

fake edit: Anjelica Houston is everything tho

Why walk when you can ride?
They're one of the few examples of a good relationship based on love, respect, and communication in all of television, isn't that magical and spooky enough for you?

The Addams Family is the greatest movie of all time. Addams Family Values is the second greatest of all time. Evidence:

I also found this while searching for the above:

quote:

Raul Julia, who played Gomez Addams, went out to unwind after a day of filming The Addams Family. During the excursion, his eye fell out of its socket. Apparently, a blood vessel had burst. Luckily, Julia caught the eyeball and put it back in place.

Hearing of the incident, the crew decided to tease Julia a little bit the day after. Anjelica Huston shared, "I called up every joke store in LA and bought every pair of those joke glasses on springs, where the eyeballs fall out. So the next morning, when Raul walked onto the set, the entire crew was wearing these glasses. He laughed... It was serious, but it was also really bizarre."

100 percent serious - Raúl Juliá was critically underrated in his time and an outstanding actor. Yes, even Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. Absolute shame we lost him when we did.

What?

I 100% agree, there's a bit in the first one where the evil fake psychologist tells him to take a seat, and she confirms that she has something incredibly disturbing to tell him. He sits down in such an excited and anticiptatory way, it slays me everytime. If someone can make you laugh just by the way they sit, you know they've got something.

RIP to a real one.

Well you see:

The Addams Family started,
When Uncle Fester farted,
He farted through the key-hole,
and paralysed the cat.

The cat was so excited,
it shouted "Man United!"
and Man United shouted:
"The Addams Family"

While developing the television series, Charles Addams was asked what, exactly, was the "thing"? He opined that "thing" was a disembodied head that rolled through the house on various ramps and pulleys. It was decided that a hand would be a bit more palatable.

Herman Munster was a Frankenstein type monster made up from all different body parts so it entirely possible that he had the balls of a werewolf.

In fact that's the only possible explanation because their love was pure and Lily would have never been unfaithful.

A Youtuber did an updated "Adult Wednesday Addams" series a few years ago that had some pretty funny moments, IMO:

Naturally, she received a cease and desist order and then Netflix optioned the idea for a series with a different actress.
