Home Alone's crazy link to Friends (TV show)

[@Yuena]

Why I still obsessed about this show that ended 16 years ago. 😫❤️😭

That's not the only time the Home Alone house shows up in Friends. The exterior of the house is also in the season 10 episode where Rachel's dad has a heart attack and Ross and Rachel go to his house, which is the same house she grew up in.

After reading this commented, I turned on HBO Max to check it out. A very very similar house...but not the same house.

I'm actually watching it at this moment and just saw it! That's why I'm in here, to see if any one else saw it.

[@Kari2025]

Yes! I’m watching that episode right now and paused it because I KNEW it looked familiar!

[@Adsrock1968]

It’s actually the house from Planes, trains and automobiles

Years ago I have seen a making of Home Alone. All interior shots of the house take place in a 1:1 set built in a high school gym. To make it look realistic, the set designers took images outside of the physical house. These images were printed in 30 foot canvases and placed outside the widows. These back drops were most likely saved since they are so expensive. Or friends used images to over lay them digitally.

That's exactly it. The backdrop shown in this scene from Friends belongs to Pacific Studios. If you go to the company's website you will see that it is available for rent.

I did not understand the stock footage part. Did filming actually happened in the winnekta home ?

[@22VISION]

Nope, it was definitely on a sound stage in Los Angeles.

[@111danish111]

@@22VISION so did they use green screen for the windows and digitally replace them later ?

[@22VISION]

@@111danish111 That's my guess.

[@brettfrost6828]

As of the End of 2023 I’m pretty sure it has been confirmed that Home Alone & Friends is in a shared universe together
