Michael Myers to Kevin Bacon?--I can connect him in two!:
- Myers chases Jamie Lee Curtis in "Halloween" (1978)
- Curtis stars with Kevin Bacon in "Queens Logic" (1991)

(And no, we don't really know how THAT one started either, but everybody started doing it anyway--
Think it was around the time Bacon was in "Quicksilver", and then everyone pretended he was some camp icon because we hadn't seen him since "Footloose"...

...Uh, yeah, sorta like that, same thing--

Anyway, another inexplicable cultural shrug, as usually happens when overlooking explanation turns Internet Trend into Mystical Long-Buried Arcane Ritual. )

6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

The game was that since Kevin Bacon was in SO many movies that you could connect ANY actor to Kevin Bacon in 6 steps or less.
