Alright, we admit it. Home Alone was kind of a scary movie. And the second one, Lost In New York? We still have nightmares about that. With the idea of being trapped in your house, and the guy with his salt cart (and the pigeon lady from the second one), it really wasn't as much of a comedy as the networks claimed. More like a horror story, designed to make us children never leave our parents again.
On set, apparently, it wasn't all fun and games either. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, who took their roles as the dimwitted but menacing thieves a little too seriously, were fond of extending the scares to the cast and crew. Even the 9-year-old Macaulay wasn't immune: during the scene where Joe Pesci threatens to bite his finger off, he actually wound up injuring the young star. He's still got the scar to prove it.
