N is for nyctanthous - flowering at night. Sabrina brought Chris a nyctanthous flower. 

[spoiler]Sabrina hoped this nyctanthous flower would cure Chris if he could eat it during the full moon before he turned into a werewolf.  Unfortunately, it failed!  [/spoiler]

O is for obluctation - A struggle against; resistance; opposition. There were many vampire victims who displayed varying degrees of  obluctation when they were being summoned by the vampire.

P is for pallid - pale; faint or deficient in color; wan. There were many vampire victims whose faces were pallid. Most notably, especially since I recently saw the episode, [spoiler]Julia's face was particularly pallid while Barnabas was fighting, and ultimately staked, Tom Jennings. [/spoiler]

[Josette]

S is for Spartacus which starred Jean Simmons, Elizabeth in the 1991 series.

I had never seen either Spartacus or Ben-Hur, and recently got them at the library.  I had no idea that Simmons was in it, nor had I seen her that young before.  I mostly remember her as an admiral in a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode.  Just her bearing in Spartacus, even as a slave girl, reminded me of that admiral.  I don’t remember much about her Elizabeth, but I’m sure she must have had that same attitude.

[EmeraldRose]

T is for taphephobia - an abnormal fear of being buried alive. Elizabeth had taphephobia. [spoiler]Actually, it turned out to be true! But I still think the word taphephobia applies. [/spoiler]

U is for uxoricide - The killing of a wife by her husband. [spoiler]Quentin committed uxoricide when he accidentally killed Jenny. [/spoiler]

V is for vafrous - Crafty; cunning; sly. Nicholas had many vafrous tricks up his sleeve.

I'm totally amazed this game continues.  In reading some of the words, I wonder how that relates to Dark Shadows.  "Dallas"?  Did someone go to Dallas on DS or was it a name?  Anyway, I'm glad everyone is still participating and enjoying themselves.  If I tried to add anything right now, I think I'd be duplicating words.
 

It is very entertaining to watch though.    Popcorn anyone?
