The Six(66?) Horrific Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Post by MacPhantom » Sat Oct 24, 2009 4:11 pm

For those of you who've never heard of it, there is a game out there that movie buffs play called "The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". It's based on the idea that actor Kevin Bacon has had such a prolific movie career, he can be connected to any actor or any movie in six connections or less. For example, say I wanted to connect Anthony Hopkins to Kevin Bacon. Well, Anthony Hopkins was in Hannibal with Gary Oldman, who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon. Or say I wanted to connect the movie Alien to Kevin Bacon. Well, Alien stars Sigourney Weaver, who was in Ghostbusters with Bill Murray, who was in Little Shop of Horrors with Steve Martin, who was in Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Kevin Bacon.

So let's see how good you are! Can you connect some of the classic, or any of your favorite horror movies with Kevin Bacon is six degrees or less? An easy one is Friday the 13th, cause Kevin Bacon was in that! How about:

A Nightmare on Elm Street

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Halloween

Saw

Night of the Living Dead

Shadow of the Vampire

An American Werewolf in London

The Howling


Or pick your favorite movie. The Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com) can be a useful tool if you get stuck. And remember; six degrees or less!

I've heard of the Six Degrees, but I'm pulling blanks on these.

No, see....

Nobody is a "Kevin Bacon Fan".... The dude's been in so many different flicks, you don't have to be a fan to have seen him in stuff!

Alright. Let's take Halloween. Halloween stars Jamie Lee Curtis, who was in True Lies with Bill Paxton, who was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon! See?! Easy!

Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

Exactly! He's been in arseloads of movies! That's why it's so easy to connect him in six degrees or less!

okay, I have another idea based on your game, we'll give you the name of an actor and you connect him to that actor in 6 moves.

Alright. But in the Halloween spirit, try to pick actors from scary movies. Or Halloween related ones.
