the loud gothic witch

26•bi•she/her i love gothic rock, darkwave, Florence + the machine, gothic architecture, poetry of all kinds (especially the ones that make me disturbed), nature and its infinite power, atheist witchcraft, whimisgoth decor and fashion, books that leave me with goosebumps and a lump in my throat, and really good food

You couldn’t do a working class version of the Addams Family without turning them into something else entirely, because the fundamental ambiguity of “okay, are these people, like, vampires or something, or are rich people just Like That” is absolutely essential to the bit.

As much as I first thought of the Munsters as well, but… there’s also nothing ambiguous about them. Grandpa is 100% undeniably a vampire (and might be THE Dracula). Herman is absolutely a Frankenstein.

Also… the Munsters aren’t really “like that”. They’re much more ordinary joes than the Addamses.

Well, that’s the “working class” side of things.

You make a convincing case, though – there’s nothing ambiguous about the Munsters, @prokopetz was correct: despite the apparent similarities, they really are “something else entirely” than the Addamses.

That said, a crossover could be entertaining. Gomez (who has no class consciousness whatsoever) would decide that Herman is his New Best Friend, while Herman (who DOES, but in that “I am Solidly Middle Class and that is where I belong” way) would find Gomez’s eternal enthusiasm, frivolous hobbies, and casually throwing around money to be grating. (This is, of course, the Obnoxious Neighbor trope that’s a pillar of sitcom humor.)

Morticia and Lily would get along acceptably, though Lily might find Morticia a bit cold and possibly interpret that as “snobbish.”

Fester and Grandpa? They would be instant BFFs, and get into SO. MUCH. CHAOS.

I feel remiss in omitting the kids from my original analysis, but @therese-lokidottir GETS it.
