They live through a lot of things nobody should.
Second film has a scene the entire family is about to get a makeshift electric chair but they manage to avoid it at the last moment for reasons however it probably wouldn't have done anything to them in the first place. The whole thing is a murder attempt by Fester's new wife so she can then claim his life insurance because the Addams family is extremely rich, which was a plot point in the first film, too. The wife, literally known as a black widow serial killer, already tried to kill Fester several times earlier in the film including blowing up the entire house Fester was sitting in with a bomb she gives him wrapped up as a present. Fester being Fester even manages to figure out the present is a bomb after shaking it, listening to it, and trying to guess what has been wrapped up. And the fact it is a bomb doesn't actually concern him because he still walks out the smouldering ruin after it explodes with little more than dirt and destroyed clothes to show for what just happened.
The rest of the family are similarly impervious to damage and invariably voice their jealousy of the others when they get to be the ones strung up on a torture rack while also using the moment to reminisce about honeymoons or other romantic endeavours.
I was originally going to look up a scene of the house being destroyed and stumbled across the whole film it would seem. Anyone who hasn't seen this it's worth a watch, about 85-90 minutes long in total.

The electric chairs - This whole scene is worth watching because hilariously the entire family are on her side as she's monologuing

Such a good film that didn't hold back on how absurd everything was.
Well I know what I'm watching tomorrow. Wonder what else that channel may have uploaded 👀
Kinda iffy, they are alive enough to have kids and family but also somewhere on the ghoul scale
As, a fan of the original show, I enjoyed it. I saw it as a tribute to the show. There's lot of corny humor and there wasn't any wokeness that I could discern. It's about Herman and Lily meeting, but it doesn't follow the particulars of the original canon about their past. It was really a reboot. It wasn't the most amazing thing ever, but I liked it. It was obvious that Rob Zombie liked the original source material. I recommend it if you like the show.
