  • Did John Hughes see this and get the idea for Home Alone, turning the house into a trap.
  • Why horror movies and rom-coms give everybody a neighbor they are romantically involved with and can see from their bedroom window, as in 13 Going on 30, Love and Basketball and It Follows; it is easy to shoot, but nobody knows anyone it is true for.
