The Addams Family

The Addams are an eccentric old-money clan who delight in the macabre and the grotesque and they are seemingly unaware or unconcerned that other people find them bizarre or frightening.

Morticia Addams: The real head of the family... low-voiced, incisive and subtle, smiles are rare... ruined beauty... contemptuous and original and with fierce family loyalty... even in disposition, muted, witty, sometimes deadly... given to low-keyed rhapsodies about her garden of deadly nightshade, henbane and dwarf's hair...

Larch: Lurch helps around the house like any other butler, cleaning, repairing, and helping the children on and off the school bus. Occasionally, his great size and strength cause trouble. He clearly takes pride in his work and is willing to do even the most arduous task. Lurch has a profound loyalty to his employers; in turn, the family treats Lurch like one of their own.

Pugsley Addams: An energetic monster of a boy... blond red hair, popped blue eyes and a dedicated troublemaker, in other words the kid next door... genius in his own way, he makes toy guillotines, full-size racks, threatens to poison his sister, can turn himself into a Mr. Hyde with an ordinary chemical set... his voice is hoarse... is sometimes allowed an occasional cigar Family: Gomez (father) Morticia (mother) Wednesday (sister) Pubert Addams (younger brother, Addams Family Values) Wednesday Jr. (younger sister, Halloween with the New Addams Family) Pugsley Jr. (youngest brother, Halloween with the New Addams Family) Fester (originally maternal great-uncle)

Parents: Morticia Addams (mother) Gomez Addams (father) Pugsley Addams (brother)

Thing: Thing, a mysterious, helpful, and charismatic creature often depicted as a severed hand
