62 2018) a friend had contacted me and said I needed to listen to the latest episode because I had apparently been challenged to solve a mystery. That changed when it was brought up on an episode of the podcast Squaring the Strange (STS) (Ep. I heard of the “Elvis in Home Alone” theory before, but I never gave it much thought. The man to the right of Catherine O’Hara in the back of the line is believed by conspiracy theorists to be Elvis Presley, alive and well. Screen capture from Home Alone showing the airport scene. This man, many believe, is Elvis Presley-despite that fact that Elvis passed away thirteen years earlier, in 1977. He’s got jet black hair, a matching thick beard and looks a bit annoyed at being held up. Two people can be seen in line behind Kate, the second being a man wearing a black turtleneck and either a tan or grey jacket. The film places the airport in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but was actually filmed at Meigs Field Airport terminal in Chicago, Illinois (1). The “Elvis” scene takes place when Kate McCallister (Kevin’s mother played by Catherine O’Hara) is desperately trying to haggle with a ticket agent to get a seat on the next possible flight home to her abandoned son. However, there’s one particular conspiracy theory that caught my attention: Elvis Presley secretly played an extra in the film.

A few of the fan theories include Kevin’s dad was actually trying to kill him by throwing Kevin’s plane ticket in the trash, Kevin growing up to become John “Jigsaw” Kramer in the Saw movie franchise, and even old man Marley-the neighbor with the shovel-is a time traveler and is actually future Kevin who came back to fix the past mistakes (u/spookycookies 2013). The film spawned several sequels as well as dozens of conspiracy theories. Much mayhem and shenanigans follow as Kevin constructs ingenious booby traps all over the house. But then two burglars show up in the neighborhood, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. At first, Kevin is having a blast being home alone, watching old movies while having an entire pizza all to himself. It tells the story of eight-year old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who is accidently left behind when his family heads to Paris for a Christmas vacation. Home Alone spent twelve weeks at the box office and remains the highest grossing Christmas movie of all time (Thompson 2016). On November 16, 1990, Home Alone was released in theaters and quickly became the highest-grossing live action comedy film of all time in the United States, until The Hangover Part II took the title in 2011.
