May '19
For the next two weeks of this literary challenge spin-off, it's a Stephen King ordeal, since that dude has infinite material.
From Sunday, May 12th to Saturday, May 25th:
+1 point per Stephen King movie OR tv show episode/mini-series episode, including sequels/episodes to his movies that he didn't necessarily have anything to do with. "It" (1990) is a mini-series, but it's basically 2 movies/episodes, and that would count as 2 points.
+1 if he directed it (Maximum Overdrive only)
+1 if set in Maine (ie Castle Rock)
+1 if a kid dies (does not stack)
+1 if an animal dies (does not stack)
+1 if he cameos (ie hogey-man in Knightriders)
+1 if Mick Garris directed it
+1 for FTV
Rewatches don't count. Make your SPOT, cuz this could get interesting.
