Secrets About Home Alone That Make The Movie Even Better

The script was written in nine days

They say some of the best films are the ones that just flow in the writing process and come together seamlessly. This was exactly what happened with the Home Alone script and writer John Hughes wrote the whole script in just nine days.

He was suffering from travel anxiety at the time and felt he had left something behind when going away with his family. His son explained that after a Europe trip in 1989, John thought of the premise if he had left the kids behind when getting on the plane. Home Alone was born from then.
