We all like to think of Home Alone as an innocent, feel-good Christmas movie. But we’ve seen things, man. Things that will change the way you look at Home Alone forever.
Don’t believe us? Ha.
Try watching the brand new YouTube series :DRYVRS via Squareeyed, which features Macauley Culkin playing an older, edgier version of Kevin from the hit Christmas comedy. Delving into his scarring childhood which was filled with abandonment, neglect and pain, it really puts a sinister spin on that time Kevin outsmarted the Sticky Bandits.
Watch the clip below but, beware, things are about to get dark and creepy real fast…
YouTube series :DRYVRS sees creator Jack Dishel encounter larger-than-life characters while they drive him about as part of a new driving app.
The first episode, ‘Just Me in the House by Myself’, sees Kevin pick him up, before opening up about his unhappy childhood, which involved being left by his family and forced to defend it from a series of burglars.
The conversation descends to focus on a damaged section of Kevin’s psyche and he ends up taking it out on an attacker attempting to carjack his vehicle. What did we just watch!?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
