It is not widely known that the Addams Family was based on a real family called the Munsters, nor that Harry of Harry and the Hendersons fame is, in reality, the illegitimate son of Alfred and Captain Caveman. The Munster family has taken a great deal of care to hide these details from the public eye, not wishing their true identities to be exposed.
