Using practical special effects rather than cgi will ensure Home Alone will never age 👍🏻 I watched and loved it when I was a kid, now my daughter loves it; and her children will too.

[@fireaza]

Practical effects are not perfect. As with CGI, when done poorly, they can look very noticeably fake. If you think practical effects always look good, you need to watch more movies.

The scream that Daniel Stern gives when that tarantula is put on his face is probably the greatest scream ever put on film by a man. Don't know if that was actually his real scream, but in any case, it is in a class by itself IMHO.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

[@Ragninsky]

[@maxkopfraumpoops]

The flame/glass trick is amazing and I am still too stupid to fully understand HOW exactly it works / how they set it up. So there is some puppet also placed in the kitchen and then there is a mirror and a flame coming from somewhere else or that flame thrower isn't really hanging there but flipped and??? I am lost.

[@FameFocus]

In answer to your question: - "Some puppet also placed in the kitchen" Yes. Off-shot, being torched by another flame thrower that is also off-shot. - "There is a mirror and a flame coming from somewhere else" bingo! But only the flame is being reflected on the glass. However, the flame is in fact flipped horizontally so that it apers the right way round in the reflection. Everything else you're seeing in the shot was really there including the flameless blowtorch. Hope that clears it up! ;)

[@TheBonoLP]

Really good example in this Video (in german): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5Ktip1qlNqgfc0

[@blainevideos]

Here's a good explanation of how you can achieve the "Pepper's Ghost" effect yourself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipTUqqKPm618fK8

[@coreaccount4376]

Stand before a glass window in a dark room with a lighter. When u switch on the lighter you will see its reflection in the glass like a ghost, but you will also still be able to see whatever is behind the glass. It will look like a ghost flame is burning outside. This is a simple illustration. Even simpler, put a bright object on your car dashboard.
