What's with the Addams family?

Are they even human?

I never thought of them as dead, just peculiar. I believe they’re alive, they live in a museum, and are capable of interacting with the dead as there was one scene where they woke the dead for Halloween.
@Stark they are alive
@Qwerty14 well that’s what I said.

@Stark According to their creator, Charles Addams, they're reanimated dead people.
@NativeOregonian where does it say that? I couldn’t find it anywhere while searching, I’d be interested in reading it as I do like the Addams family.

@Stark An old New Yorker magazine interview he did in the early 40's about them, I came across it on an online archive about 15 years ago.
@NativeOregonian No the Addams Family are meant to be the surviving clan of Addams'. Surviving being a key word. I mean if you can prove it I'm willing to stand corrected but I find it odd there's no mention of it on the wiki

@Qwerty14 Never trust wikipedia.
@NativeOregonian Well supply a link then lol
@NativeOregonian from what I’ve read and not just wiki no where has stated them as dead.

@Stark I cannot find the original New Yorker interview I read. However, here is an NPR article where it is said that Addams likened himself to the ghoul Uncle Fester, a ghoul being an undead spirit that eats children https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6407492

@Qwerty14 See my link to Stark
@NativeOregonian Ghoul: a person morbidly interested in death or disaster. Yeah not really proof
@NativeOregonian he did refer to them as ghouls but I assume it being the second definition given the storyline.
“a person morbidly interested in death or disaster.”
@NativeOregonian yes, I saw it I was looking over it through it. Very interesting. 🙂

@NativeOregonian I can't tell if you're trolling now. Read the second meaning

@Qwerty14 Your daddy should have taught you better manners with his belt across your mouth boy, beat your ass black and blue to teach you respect for your elders you little shit.
@NativeOregonian Fuck this is so much funnier than I ever thought it could be. Belt across the mouth lol just the idea your dad did that to you is insane. Luckily we have laws now that would have stopped him from attacking you.
