Tim (dixztim) | 54 comments We have all heard of that movie trivia game called "Six Degrees to Kevin Bacon". You know the one where you name a movie and connect Kevin Bacon to it within six steps.
Well, how about a Stephen King version?
With all the various cameos and appearances King has made, the opportunities are boundless.
Maybe call it "Six Screams to Stephen King".
What does everyone think???

Becky (beckyofthe19and9) Sounds cool... Just make sure to clearly mark anything that might be a spoiler...

*kills all the joy of the game*

:P


message 3: by Tim (new)

Tim (dixztim) | 54 comments I totally agree! I don’t want to create spoilers either.
My idea is more related to making the “acting” connections to King’s appearances and cameos as compared to revealing movie details.
Take as an example: Given the Actor’s name of James Stewart, make an acting connection to King using co-stars from various movies, doing so within six steps;
James Stewart was in “The Cheyenne Social Club” with Henry Fonda who was in “12 Angry Men” with E.G. Marshal who was in “Creepshow” with Stephen King.
More like a game of who can make the connection in the shortest, or perhaps, the most interesting way.
As a fun diversion for King fans and fans of his movies as well.


Library Lady 📚  | 91 comments So we have to pick an actor...How about...Hilary Duff.


message 5: by Tim (new)

I can do it. Someone throw me an actor/actress.

OK Chris, how about a pair of classics - Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn BUT you can't use "The African Queen"...LOL


message 10: by Chris , The Hardcase (new)

Chris  Haught (haughtc) | 1169 comments Mod
Is that either/or, or both?

Katharine Hepburn was in On Golden Pond with Jane Fonda.
Jane Fonda was in The China Syndrome with Michael Douglas.
Michael Douglas was in Wall Street with Daryl Hannah.
Daryl Hannah was in Splash with Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks was in Green Mile (SK movie!) with Gary Sinise.
Gary Sinise was in The Stand with King.

Harder than it looks.

Chris  Haught (haughtc) | 1169 comments Mod
Crap. That would have been a lot shorter if I'd jumped from Hepburn to Henry Fonda and used your example. Heh...


message 12: by Tim (new)

Tim (dixztim) | 54 comments Now we're geting the idea. And, as you've shown Chris, it does not necessarily have to be a movie that King was in. It could be a movies based on one of his works. How about making connections to TV Shows through King TV related projects only.
As an example; Felicity Huffman played Tery Spann in Stephen King's TV mini series "Golden Years" where King himself "cameod" as a bus driver. Huffman is now playing Lynette Scavo on "Desperate Housewives".
As you can see, there are many ways to take the game for challenging fun...
