Home Alone House

62

By earner

Have you ever wanted to visit a house you've seen in a film? The Home Alone house is quite a popular film location you can drive past and see for yourself as it's a real house! As most of the filming in Home Alone was filmed inside the house, film fans really got to know the Home Alone house quite well.

The film starred a young Macauley Culkin (who is 30 now!!), playing the part of a young boy whose parents accidentally left him at home when they packed up and left to go on a Christmas Vacation. A couple of hapless burglars wanted to break in to burgle the house and the film centres around Kevin's hilarious attempts to thwart them.

He rigged up silhouettes and lamps around the house so it looked like there were people in, he boobytrapped the stairs... and more!

Home Alone Is a Popular Xmas Movie

Home Alone is always on the television at Xmas. it's a very popular Xmas movie for all the family. A sure fire hit no matter who you have invited over!
