From the first take: how they filmed the beloved episode with the spider in “Home Alone”

Spectators still remember the grimace of horror of one of the robbers.

The favorite comedy of many generations of viewers is filled with unforgettable episodes. The countless troubles that the “wet bandits” get into are remembered by the fans by heart. But especially the episode with a real spider on Marvin’s face is impressive.

Despite the danger, Daniel Stern managed to get through the episode in just one take. In fact, the actor made no sound, it was a silent scream of horror. It is played so talentedly and naturally that the viewer has no questions. The scream was later added to the picture’s final voice acting.

A heartbreaking scream could startle the spider and it is not known how it would behave. On the actor’s face was a large tarantula, safe from humans, according to the YouTube channel iKnow Channel, but that doesn’t mean the actor felt free. Getting a bite to the face from such a giant is a dubious pleasure.
