17. In "The Crate", Henry was married to an extremely obnoxious woman named Wilma. What did Wilma like to be called?
From Quiz Do You Know "Creepshow"?
Answer:
Billie
Henry's wife Wilma was a very loud, obnoxious, and crude woman whom nobody liked, including Henry himself. She could be heard several times throughout the story braying loudly, "Just call me Billie, everyone does!". Wilma never treated Henry well, and his resentment built up. When Henry heard about the murderous creature in the crate, he tricked Wilma into seeing it, and the creature attacked her and ate her, thus ridding Henry of his irritating wife forever. As the creature snacked on Wilma, Henry told her, "Just tell it to call you Billie!". This was a very funny line during a gruesome scene!
