12 Things You Never Knew About Home Alone
7. The Tarantula
In the scene with the tarantula, Culkin seems to be unafraid of the creepy-crawly-but the same can’t be said for his adult co-stars John Stern was not to happy about the use of the creature, and agreed to have it on his face for one take only. He also had to just mime his scream at the time, as making noise would have caused the spider to panic and run off-so his real howls of terror were recorded in post-production and dubbed over his terrified face. Terrific stuff.
