Lurch…”You Rang?”
Lurch (whose first name is unknown) is a fictional character created by cartoonist Charles Addams as a manservant to The Addams Family. In the original television series, Lurch was played by Ted Cassidy, who used the famous catchphrase: “You rang?”
Some of the cast
Gomez
Gomez Addams is the master of the Addams household and the Addams patriarch, married to Morticia.
Morticia
Morticia Addams is the matriarch of the Addams family and is married to Gomez.
Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester is a bald, barrel-shaped man with dark, sunken eyes and a devilish grin. He seemed to carry an electrical charge, as he could illuminate a light bulb by sticking it in his mouth.
Grandmama
Grandmama is a witch who deals in potions, spells, hexes, and even fortune-telling. Her trademarks were her shawl and grey, frizzy hair.
Wednesday
Wednesday is the daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams and was said to have been named after the phrase, “Wednesday’s child is full of woe.”
Hand
Thing is another member of the Addams family. He was a shy creature mostly seen in the background of Addams’ drawings; however, the television series suggested it was a disembodied hand named “Thing,” and was Gomez’s friend since childhood.

I loved the Addams family from the cartoons in the papers to the television series and beyond! 🙂
Pity there will be no more movies – I loved them both!!! 🙂
There are rumours that there is going to be a new TV series, but I don’t know when… 😦
Love and hugs!

Those are all very good and look just like the characters! I really liked that show, and The Munsters, which I always used to call The Monsters.
Happy Halloween, Deb!
Thank you, Binky!
I adored the Munsters too!
That’s funny, when I was a kid I called them the Monster’s too! 🙂
Happy Halloween!
That is funny. Maybe a lot of kids called them The Monsters! They looked like monsters when you’re little.
Great likeness. Great job.

Wow, Deb! You did the whole bunch! WELL DONE, my dear!!!
Happy Halloween! 🙂 🙂 xx
I started working on them a month or so back, never did get to finish the cast in time for Halloween. Maybe I’ll be them in for next Halloween! 🙂
Thanks Marina! 🙂

A month ago? You prepare ahead!
I didn’t plan on purpose. I had drawn Lurch, got ready to post him then thought I’d save him for Halloween. Then Lurch convinced me to keep drawing them whenever I had a chance.
Well that was a good decision. They certainly are appropriate for Halloween.
Deb I never believed in father Christmas, but now I believe in Halloween… I just saw the Addams Family.. You know what I now also believe in Santa… I just love to see the name Deb come on my screen.. thank you. Happy Halloween x
I’m glad to hear you are enjoying my artwork, Doron!…thank you for sharing that with me!
I hope you had a happy Halloween too!

If the kids around the world happy I always do too.
I am a fan club member now waiting to receive my badge, Thanks Deb
LOVE this post!
I used to watch this show all the time back in the day. I so get their weirdness. I wonder why?
I use to watch it everyday myself, RoSy!
I don’t know, I seem to have the same question about myself…lol

I love the Addams Family and you certainly captured their likeness! I always particularly liked Lurch, and I think it was his voice and the “you rang” that did it! 🙂
Lurch and Gomez are my favs of the show myself…..thank you! 🙂
These are fantastic! I love the Addams family. I particularly like Lurch 🙂
He seems to rank the highest for likeness by many, and around here too!
Thank you! 🙂
You have captured their characters and features perfectly, I especially like Lurch and Gomez 🙂 Wow can you paint and draw my beautiful friend 🙂 🙂 Everything that you add is brilliant 🙂
