Anyone Else Been To Stephen Kings House?

[BDenbrough]

I went to college in Maine and a bunch of my friends & I decided to go up to SK's house. We were a film college, so we wrote a letter asking if Mr. King would speak at our school, and turning books to movies or writing scritps etc....we went up to his house then dropped the letter in the mail slot

It was QUITE the surreal experience. Obviously he was either not home or hiding from us crazy college kids. Either way it was a cool experience just to stand there and look up at his house.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

No, nothing like that.

But I bet if he would have showed up on the doorstep, it would be the other way around...there would be some screaming on your part, guys...

My mother is a significantly published international artist (visual), but nowhownever an industry unto herself like King.

There have been a few times that fans have shown up at her house.

She was always pleasant, but those visits freaked her the fudgemuffin out.

I can't imagine (actually I can, that's the scary part) what kinda loonies King attracts.

On Writers:
Just leave 'em be. They also get constipated. Sometimes they just want to walk alone in the backyard, barefoot, and let the grass tickle 'em feetses, pretending they are Bilbo. Sometimes they want to pee on a tree, unobserved. Leave writers alone.

Hell, leave ALL "celebrities" alone and the crappy ones will fade away.

I've never experienced anything like that.......Unless you count the fact that I often go hide in the closet if someone shows up at my house un-expectedly. LOL

[BDenbrough]

haha, Well we didn't want to freak him out, which is why we didn't actually go up to the house. We got credit for using that as a capper to a report we did on SK, so it all worked out

Though he used to do some crazy stuff every Halloween at his house for trick-or-treaters a while ago, which must have been scary whatever he did!

Only been to his house in my dreams...

I did invade the King properties once, several years ago now. I lived in Bangor at the time and swung by one fine spring day. Uncle Stevie and Aunt Tab were probably still in Florida but the gate was wide open, an SUV parked beside the house, so I took a chance and walked right in, up the sidewalk, onto the front porch. At the door there was a small placard which read something to the effect of "we appreciate your support and hope you can understand the need for a bit of privacy in our lives" (but it was, of course, worded much better than that). For what seemed like several minutes I stood undecided, shifting foot to foot, wanting terribly to just ring the bell anyway and take the chance on meeting someone who had so changed my life. But my better half won out (barely) and I heeded the plaque, leaving undisturbed the house and whatever (if any) occupants it had. And though I lived in the area for a time after that and have been to Bangor many times since, I never repeated the visit. His books and articles and interviews will just have to suffice.

I wouldn't go to SK's house even if I got the chance! I mean, it must be a huge mansion, but, I wouldn't want to disturb him and violate his privacy. Same goes for all other celebs and important personalities.

I stop by everyday for tea, doesn't everyone?

Good thing you backed off.....it was starting to sound a little like The Gingerbread Girl. Curiosity killed the cat right?
