    They also drink poison and get electrocuted for fun. Plus things like the bear rug and other things in the house that point to something supernatural being involved.

    It is implied that those abilities are the result of having undergone electroshock treatment countless times, not being of otherwise spooky origins

    Considering it doesn't work like that, I think it still counts as supernatural.

    Oh you know that for sure? Have you given someone electroshock therapy until they either died or operated like a permanent human battery? Where's your empirical evidence, sir!?

    I think I just classify it as “fantasy” and leave it at that

    I'd argue supernaturality is the defining characteristic of fantasy.

    Wasn't the original Thing just a weird guy living in their house?

    Yes. Very first Addams family comic, Thing is the guy at the top of the stairs.

    The most transgressive thing about the Addams family is their actual love and devotion to each other.
