During a scene when Harry tries to bite off Kevin’s finger after the burglars capture him in a neighbor's home. One of the most iconic lines from 'Home Alone', “Keep the change ya filthy animals”, comes from the old black and white movie 'Angels with Filthy Souls' that Kevin watches when he realises he has his house to himself. The part of Kevin McCallister was especially written for Macaulay Culkin by Hughes after they filmed ‘Uncle Buck’ together. Writer John Hughes came up with the idea for the film when he was packing for a vacation. While things go well at first, Kevin has to become the man of the house when two crooks plan to rob his home.

Spotting this supposedly mysterious figure has become just as much a part of the Home Alone viewing experience as shouting 'Kevin!' out loud during that iconic plane scene. Home Alone fans will no doubt recall the moment when Kevin's mum Kate, played by Catherine O'Hara, loses her temper with an airport employee, swearing she would sell her soul 'to the devil himself' in order to get home to her left-behind son. There are those however who believe a bizarre secret lurks beneath the snowfall and twinkly soundtrack, glimpsed in a scene set at Scranton airport. While another wrote: "There's only one conspiracy theory I believe in and it's that the actor who stood behind Kevin's mother in the Home Alone airport scene is Elvis Presley." Although the extra sports a full beard, a number of viewers have noted certain similarities in his facial features - especially around the eyes - and claim this as 'evidence' that 'the king' was still alive and well in the early 1990s.

Let's Play D&D With 'Home Alone's Kevin McCallister (Bell of Lost Souls)

If Christmas feels like too much to deal with, maybe you'd prefer to stay home alone and play D&D with Kevin McCallister.

Prestidigitation was an obvious choice, but he’s also very good at making things very hot (the doorknob) or very cold (the icy stairs), so I was sure to include a few of those. Kevin’s a bit light on weapons and we see him with a BB Gun, so perhaps giving him a firearm of some kind would be fitting. There are a lot of things about Kevin that would work well in D&D and a few that wouldn’t. Give D&D Kevin a firearm. Instead, he has two levels of Artificer, not enough to earn a specialization, but enough to get in trouble. While it’s a lot of fun to see a little kid outwit a couple of befuddled adults for two hours in a movie, in a game with an ongoing plot there are going to be some implications as to why a child is part of your party.

'Becky' Is the Darker 'Home Alone' Action Movie You Need to See (Collider.com)

If the Christmas favorite were more honest, its violence would be eye-popping. lulu-wilson-becky-social Image via Quiver.

As a teenage girl with family issues, Becky is that anyone, and she rises to the occasion – then gouges it out. Even recent fare like [Gunpowder Milkshake](https://collider.com/tag/gunpowder-milkshake/) and The Princess market as comedies, with a winking acknowledgment that there’s just something off about this most literal girl power. Home Alone was released in 1990, almost a decade before Blade and The Matrix brought Hong Kong traditions west and reinvented the American action movie. Certainly not like her father Jeff (McHale), who’s dating another woman, Kayla (Amanda Brugel), and has brought her and her son Ty to the vacation home for a big, unwelcome announcement. [Kevin James](https://collider.com/tag/kevin-james/) and [Joel McHale](https://collider.com/tag/joel-mchale/), Becky is relatively low-budget, with production credits stretching just past a minute. Of course, Home Alone is a comedy, and it’s silly on purpose. Kevin’s violence is both kid-friendly and not part of a psychological spiral. [John McClane or John Rambo, is substituted for a Jane](https://collider.com/best-female-action-movies/). It may be an absurd premise, but the direction and Wilson’s commitment to the character, both mentally and physically, sells the most over-the-top moments. She sees things, and she reacts, and as the title character, [Lulu Wilson](https://collider.com/tag/lulu-wilson/) performs more than capably as part of a clever film language.
