Home Alone is a timeless classic (the first and second one anyway) and I want to salute the little sadistic genius who came up with all that stuff.

For example, the heated doorknob. I never would have thought of that when I was eight. I wasn't even sure what he used to do it.

What were your favorites?

Also the nail in Marv's foot one makes me cringe every time. All the other ones are too funny or over-the-top but the sight and sound of that nail sinking several inches into his flesh is....not pleasant.

I liked the one where Marv had paint fall on him. It was all his favorite colors. tongue

And the part afterward when he got electrified. The X-Ray Sparks scene scared me at first when I was a kid, but then I started laughing at it.

I like to keep my audience riveted.

Yeah. Pretty much all of those traps were lethal. That said my favourite one was the steel bollard that sent both of them plummeting into the basement when it smashed into them.

I like the electified stove or whatever that was that shocked Marv in number two. Mostly because for a little bit, he's just a screaming skeleton with an afro, and you just look at the TV and go "...Brook?"

The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]

It'd be funny if that, somehow, was where Oda got the idea.

Kerosene toilet was probably my favorite
