“Home Alone” was a break-out comedy back in 1990 about an eight year-old boy accidentally left ‘home alone’ while his family flew to Paris for Christmas vacation. 

As his mother struggled to get back home to her abandoned son, young Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), thinking his families disappearance was his fault, had to learn to fend for himself.  Not only did he have to learn to do the shopping, cooking, and laundry, but he had to overcome his fear of the basement furnace, avoid the scary old man next door, and fight off two psychotic robbers from breaking into this home.

Add all of these things together and what you get is one seriously screwed up adult, more horror than comedy — as this video shows us. 

Poor Kevin McCallister.  It’s all John Hughes’ fault!
