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!

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!

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.
