Ok there are two constant issues I’m seeing in the comment section so I'll address it here rather than spending Christmas replying to each individual comment. 1. Daniel Sterns scream A lot of comments are saying I’m wrong and the scream was put in post, but I’m just going by Daniel Stern’s own mouth where he says he was told to scream as the spider wouldn’t be able to hear him where he gave off a scream like “Psycho” but hey don’t take my word for it, it’s on KZread, in a documentary called The Making of Home Alone. Here is the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nWl10NOOp7zXorQ.html skip to 13:24 of that video to hear Stern talk about the scream he did then hopefully that’ll put some of the commenters at ease. 2. Oh you obviously watched The Movies that made us Yes I did use ‘The Movies that made us’ as a resource as I did with other documentaries and articles and websites for this episode, how else am I meant to do research?? I even mentioned ‘the Movies that made us’ at the end and said it was a great help to making this video and recommended it to Home Alone fans. I think some people seem to think it’s a bad thing that I saw it to do some research but then if the fans don’t agree with you get accused of doing no research. Point is you just can’t win in the harsh realm of the comment section. I hope this has cleared some issues up, take care peoples and Merry Christmas. I hope all your wishes and dreams come true and you get cool pressies.

As a kid I always thought that Kevin was a bad kid. Now as an adult I realize that his family was super dysfunctional, he was constantly being gaslight and he was the family black sheep.

Both Home Alone 1 and 2 along with A Christmas Story are my three favorite Christmas films. I absolutely can't get enough of these films that I watch to lift my spirits up during the Christmas season.

It was good seeing John Candy and Catherine O'Hara together in the scenes they were in. For those not familiar, they had previously worked together in the late 70s and early 80s on the Canadian sketch comedy show "SCTV". That show also produced talents like Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, Harold Ramis, and Martin Short.

I heard somewhere that the scream during the tarantula scene was later dubbed in because screaming would have freaked the spider out and caused it to bite, so he pretended to scream and then recorded the real scream in the studio, in which they later put in the scene.

This is my FAVORITE Christmas movie ever, and I watch twenty-four hours of A Christmas Story every year since TNT and TBS started doing that! I like the conversation Kate and John Candy have when he says he left his kid at a funeral parlor, when he says "But he's okay, y'know, six or seven weeks he came around, started talking again" really cracks my mom up:) I like bits of the sequel but I wish they had made Tim Curry the one Kevin bonded with and that he had told the hotel workers what happened so they have no choice but to keep him at the Plaza and give him everything he wants because the cops tell them to until Peter and Kate get there as well as because the McCallisters are rich:)

The boy who played Kevin's cousin Fuller is Macaulay Culkin's brother Kieran. Macaulay Culkin drew the map that his character uses to set up the traps. Macaulay Culkin's stunt double was a very short 30-year-old man. Director Chris Columbus' biggest fear as a kid was burglars. It's part of why he wanted to make this movie At the end of the movie where it snows outside Kevin's house, the snow was actually mashed potato flakes.

Lmaooo yes

I always wanted to see Kevin's wet/sticky bandit "traps" tested on Mythbusters; to see which are merely painful, and perhaps which could actually be deadly in real life. Break out the human analogs and the CT scanner and see what happens when a human skull meets a matched velocity paint can, or bricks thrown downward (repeatedly) from 60 ft., or a blow torch for the same number of seconds. How does a body hold up when it falls from a duplicated number of feet on to it's back, or mashed by 300 lbs. of tools against a wall. I've seen Home Alone 1 & 2 shown on network TV with some of the traps rather severely edited.

I have always had a fear of glass christmas balls due to a dreadful accident I had as a kid. Not only do they explode, but they go everywhere and I ended up with glass in my feet and a sliver in my eye. Being 7 years old and having your Mother telling you to not shut your eye while on the way to the hospital was tantamount to hell on earth. Now, being a senior citizen and having watched Home Alone since it came out, those fears always come rushing back, but I watch it with my family every year because we love it so much! P.S. the sliver dropped out of my eye on the way to the hospital. Eyesight...a-ok.

I want that too just to watch the poor test dummies get trashed. I remember when both movies were on AMC with Story Notes that said what would happen to people who went through the traps:O The bricks to the skull would cause brain damage and death, the flaming head in the toilet bowl of gasoline explosion causes death, the skeleton-electrocution causes the heart to stop and death...lots and lots of death...let's petition Mythbusters to make a Christmas special just for the double feature!

It is not Mythbusters, but close. Mark Rober and Vsauce teamed up to test the traps, they even did it on a set that looked just like the movie. They each did a video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWlkus6kptGWe9I.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4Kcy8ymd7fdp9I.html

How do you think Myth Busters could test the Traps without Dying

In the film Better Watch Out, the paint cans on the string is demonstrated realistically: A full paint can would completely splatter a person's skull

Daniel Stern didn't scream because it would have scared the spider. He mimed screaming and the sound was added in post production.

Minty's vids always make me feel so nostalgic

13:43 The fact that the scream was legit makes it more funnier than before 😂

Minty it's 6 a.m. bro I'm supposed to be asleep but I'll watch your video.

Im gonna watch you Netflix recomendación, but regardless how good it is it can not match your absolute amazing way to describe and narrate films. You are the best

Love Home Alone and watch it every year around Christmas. The 2nd one was good too. Bought the soundtrack to Home Alone it is so good! Merry Christmas! 🎄👍😍

Another quick note that I heard somewhere: At times Joe Pesci forgot he was in a family comedy, and would occasionally drop F-bombs. Because of this, he supposedly came up with that muttering thing he did in both this movie and in Home Alone 2 to try to refrain from dropping them as frequently. Also, along with his appearance being a favor to John Hughes, John Candy also improvised almost all of his lines.

Just when you thought their souls couldn't get any filthier.

I saw a Home Alone documentary recently that claimed Stern didn't scream at all during the tarantula scene so as not to scare the spider. They said the scream was dubbed in later.

I can't believe Candy got paid so little!! He was such a great cameo!!

Fun fact, early on in the movie when Peter hands Kate a voltage adapter, the adapter is actually played by Macaulay Culkin.

Kevin causes more than $11,000 in damages to his parents house

The McAllister's house was filmed in someone's family home. Not even that, but the family was still living in the house when they were filming the movie

Chicagoan here. I took a drive up to Winnetka to look at the Christmas lights this past weekend. The home alone house looks a lot smaller in real life. Still pretty cool though.

3. It also appears in "Detective Pikachu" where Tim enters his father's apartment. One you didn't mention: John Mulaney was invited to audition as some CDs working on the film sat in on his children's acting class, but his parents decided against it. He's okay with it now, and has become famous on his own.

There also not poisonous there venomous. Venom is injected, poison is consumed

Home Alone is a great Christmas movie. Great job Minty!

There is a direct connection between Uncle Buck and Home Alone. In the UB, John Candy's character picks up his niece at New Trier West High School in Northfield IL. For HA, they used the "F/PE building" gym where they built the sets for the interior scenes. All the water scenes were shot at a set built into the swimming pool in the New Trier West campus. In addition, the title for the movie Breakfast Club came from the name for the New Trier High School detentions because they used to be in the early mornings before school.
