Macaulay Culkin returns as Home Alone character in web series DRYVRS

Home Alone child star reprises his role but as a grown up in a web series episode that has recently gone viral.

Macaulay Culkin, the child star who portrayed the kid Kevin McCallister in the hit Home Alone movies, is back and is featured in episode 1 of a new web series entitled 'DRYVRS.' This time, however, Culkin has become a grown up version that hints to the beloved McCallister kid.

As everyone may have remembered in the 1990 film and 1992 sequel, McCallister is somehow left alone in his house during Christmas while his family is out on a vacation. There, he is left no choice but to deal with 2 burglars attempting to break in his family's house which he has done so effectively by laying out creative traps where he expects the thieves would be.

In the web series aptly entitled 'Just Me in the House By Myself', Jack Dishel encounters McCallister driving his car where they share the ride. McCallister then retells his traumatic experience being abandoned in the house and forced to defend his family property from burglars. When the car was robbed, Culkin proceeds to confront the robber in a McCallister manner.

This may or may not have been spawned from the original Home Alone series but it surely is a convincing take because it reflects both the lives of McCallister and Culkin. The Home Alone series was very popular that it has become a staple family film on Christmas.

'I don't internets, but if I did I would strongly consider watching: DRYVRS' Culkin said with regards to the show.

Dishel is a Russian-Jewish American actor, musician and creator of DRYVRS. He released episode 1 of the digital series on December 17, 2015. As of this writing, the video garnered over 19 million views. It is said that the DRYVRS series will feature Dishel and his strange encounters with other gonzo drivers in future episodes.
