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.

“Every adaptation has things you have to leave behind in service of creating a cinematic idea that embodies the essential values of the book.”
