Redditor Niiue, a moderator at r/Movie Details, told Bored Panda that the hidden 'Home Alone' detail that stands out from the crowd for them can be found near the start of the very first movie. "The one that comes to mind is the scene in the first movie where Kevin's plane ticket is accidentally thrown away at the beginning. It's a simple detail, but it definitely adds to the movie, in my opinion," the mod said.

Like many of us, Niiue connects to 'Home Alone' because of their childhood. "It reminds me a lot of when I was a kid, and I'd daydream about saving my friends and family from bad guys," they said.

"There's just something fun about seeing what kinds of traps Kevin comes up with," the moderator explained the success of the 'Home Alone' franchise by pointing out that what lies at its core is simple, honest, childish fun. Niiue added that they'd personally enjoy another 'Home Alone' movie starring a grown-up Culkin only as a "black comedy parody instead of a regular sequel" and we love the idea.

The kind of depth that the ‘Home Alone’ series has makes us wonder what other movies had a whole bunch of intricate little details sprinkled throughout, but we were too distracted to notice. Some of these require you to have the eyes of a hawk while others need some behind-the-scenes knowledge that only a true McCallister mega-fan would have.

The thing that I love the most is something that I never noticed while watching the films in my childhood: the colors. The red and green themes can be found throughout and they create a very Christmas-y vibe by showing it to us, not just telling us.

Something else that really shocked me was that the tarantula crawling across Marv’s face was actually real! Props to Daniel Stern for having the courage to shoot a scene like that.

Most of us associate Macaulay Culkin with Kevin McCallister in the ‘Home Alone’ movies (you know, the good ones), and it’s said that director Chris Columbus wrote the part specifically with the child actor in mind. However, Columbus still auditioned around 200 people for Kevin’s part. But once Culkin showed up to the audition, it was game over for them. We’re glad Culkin got the part—Kevin’s just not Kevin without that cheeky grin of his!

Weirdly enough, Culkin’s younger brother, Kieran, also popped up in the movies as Kevin’s cousin, Fuller. Now if knowing that kind of fact doesn’t make you a die-hard ‘Home Alone’ fan, I don’t know what will.
