A lady who grew up in the actual Home Alone home while the 1990 Christmas classic was being made has shared what it was really like to shoot the film.
With the exception of paint cans and face-ironing, it is regarded by many as the best holiday movie ever created and captures the essence of the holiday spirit.
Additionally, the home in the focus of filming personifies the cosy atmosphere that the movie conveys to people.
In Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin portrays eight-year-old Kevin McCallister, who protects his suburban Chicago family home from Harry and Marv, the Wet Bandits (played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern).
Kevin turns their enormous, picturesque house into a boobytrapped jungle where the unfortunate criminal couple must endure agonising activities.
