Pushed

Play guitar (I don't think so)

Q: How much did a 'nose filter' cost in the novel, The Running Man.
Yes, guitar playing was what I was thinking of. CrimsonKingAH is right, though, I think he learned by listening. He played so well that Larry and Nadine were a bit surprised.

several thousand new dollars... don't remember exact without looking.. maybe someone else does? [/SPOILER]

In The Stand.. how did Trashcan Man get away from The Kid? (on their way to Las Vegas)
I can only venture a guess. I do remember the infamous scene involving a gun but can't remember if Trashy escaped while the Kid was drunk/passed out? I do remember the Kid getting surrounded by wolves in the desert...won't give that away.

Q: In The Shining Danny is awakened by wasps in his room. After Jack takes pictures of his son's stings and the nest to send to the bug bomb company, what does he do with the wasps' nest, ultimately? Extra points: Were all three Torrances stung? True or False?

Yes.. it was the 'wolves' .. good job!

I only remember him putting it outside... ? and for the extra points... I only remember Danny and Jack getting stung. But I have to admit it has been a long time since reading the book.

What kind of dog does SK have? Extra points...hahahaha What is the dogs name? and for extra extra points... what does he call his dog ?

Yes, correct. He placed it in a pyrex dish and covered it then put it outside via kitchen back door. All three were stung.
Ok...Stephen King has two Corgis named Vixen and Molly. He calls Molly the Thing of Evil. :)

Q: In the novel Bag of Bones what did Mike Noonan call his lake house?

Sarah Laughs

Annie Wilkes had her Laughing Place, Scott Landon has his Booya Moon, and although Audrey Wyler calls it a daydream in The Regulators, she writes that "that isn't how it feels, it feels real"...where is her place?

Yep!
I didn't read The Regulators. Let's see if another member knows it. I need to read it but I was confused with the names because I'd just finished Desperation.

I was going to say Fast Cars but then I remembered that was the novel Paul Sheldon wrote and Annie made him burn. Is it Stud City?

Q: What was the cologne that George Stark wore in the novel The Dark Half? (I had to think of a hard one, sorry.) ;)

I think I know certain books very well but others I either haven't read or they're less familiar. I liked The Body alot.
I can give you a hint: It's a cologne popular in late 70s and early 80s.

Wow, another difficult question. I don't remember. I will guess Marlowe.

Q: In the book Needful Things who owned The Mellow Tiger?

Nope...not what you guessed. One place to look is right at the end. The Mellow Tiger? Yikes...don't recall that, at all...though I did see an interesting description somewhere, something about a blue-eyed tiger that conjured images from Dead Zone...and Wireman's cart.
