Added example(s) fridge horror

Added DiffLines:

* FridgeHorror: Bilar may not have ''been'' the man. Even if prior to Festival, Tula had thought or told Bilar she'd like to be with him at that time, there's no guarantee she wasn't then brutalized by many others. It's strongly hinted this is her first Festival, and her dad is ''really'' unhappy about her being out there.

** "No war, no disease, no crime" eh? At the Festival, people aren't just breaking windows and throwing things; it's clear that ''anything'' goes. Tula lets out an ecstatic scream at the Red Hour, but after the Festival she returns to her father ''very'' upset; in the next scene, as Bilar passes by, Lindstrom tells Reger "Your daughter! ''That's the man--!''" [[note]]all he could say on 1960s television.[[/note]] Reger says Landru was responsible, not Bilar. Festival attendees are not in their right mind, so Tula herself did not give consent.
