QIs the "Home Alone" series based on a book?
AThe first movie in the Home Alone series, Home Alone (1990), was based on a screenplay by producer John Hughes. The first three movies have subsequently been novelized by Todd Strasser. The concept for Home Alone came from a scene in Uncle Buck (1989) in which Macaulay Culkin, who plays Miles Russell in Uncle Buck and Kevin McCallister in Home Alone and Home Alone 2, fires off a series of questions to a would-be-babysitter through a letterbox opening in the front door. Due to the success of Home Alone and Home Alone 2, three more sequels have since been released: Home Alone 3 (1997), Home Alone 4 (2002), and Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012).
