KEVIN! Don't Forget Macaulay Culkin at the Warner
Home Alone star looks back on his best-loved film with special tour stop in Erie
Sunday, Dec. 1
For millions of people, there's nothing quite like the magic of Home Alone. The 1990 Christmas blockbuster has firmly established itself in the canon of classic holiday films. The film's success catapulted its star, Macaulay Culkin, to superstardom, who was just 10 years old when the film was released.
This December, Erie will be host to a special screening of Home Alone, billed as "A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin." Part of a 15-stop tour, Warner Theatre guests will be treated to a moderated interview and audience Q&A with the man who played the iconic role of Kevin McCallister. "Hey y'all. I'm hitting the road this December for a little tour. Whimsy and nostalgia abound!" Culkin wrote on his Instagram account.
Without a doubt one of the most recognizable child stars in history, Culkin garnered early notoriety in John Hughes' Uncle Buck. A year later, they would team up again, with Hughes writing and producing Home Alone. Culkin would go on to star in films such as My Girl, The Good Son, Richie Rich, and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, released two years after its predecessor.
Around a decade later, Culkin would have a self-determined career renaissance, starring in cult films like 2003's Party Monster and 2004's Saved. Recently, he's made guest starring turns in The Righteous Gemstones and American Horror Story.
There's little doubt that if you're reading this, you already know the plot of Home Alone, whether you've seen it or not. Directed by Chris Columbus (also known for the first two Harry Potter films, The Help, and Mrs. Doubtfire), it co-stars Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern as Harry and Marv, "the wet bandits," with Catherine O'Hara and John Heard as Kevin's parents, also featuring an unforgettable score by John Williams.
Guests are encouraged to go easy on the Pepsi.
