Trivia for 10/19
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Answer for 10/16:
If a villain commits 'uxoricide', what has he done? He has killed his wife. Uxoricide is the act of murdering one's wife. The William Castle flick "I Saw What You Did" warned, on its posters,"This Movie Is About UXORICIDE!" The opposite is ‘mariticide’, which is derived from the word ‘maritus’ meaning ‘married’. ‘Mariticide’ is actually the killing of one’s married partner; it could be the husband or the wife, but the word is being used to refer to the murder of the husband by the wife. 49 players answered correctly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Question for 10/19: What is interesting about the character of Nancy Bellicec from 1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the character of Valerie Shenkman from the 2005-2006 TV series "Invasion" and the character of Wendy Lenk in The Invasion, the 2007 movie remake? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
