Storyline
The Addams Family are a close-knit extended family with decidedly macabre interests and supernatural abilities, though no explanation for their powers is explicitly given in the series. The family is attended by their servants: towering butler Lurch; and Thing, a disembodied hand that appears from within wooden boxes and other places.

Novelizations aren’t just a transcription of the film story. They also add details and backstory to the plot in a literary way.
“The book is so rich. There are so many fantastic details, but in order to preserve and have the time to bring that to the screen, we had to make important choices.”
