Category V - Potential Death

8. BB Gun to Head

This one was also tough to rank. A BB gun to head from a foot away can potentially kill someone depending on the make and model but if it does not kill them it will probably just really sting.

7. 2 story fall from top of house

In Home Alone 2 Marv falls from the top of the house to the basement due to Kevin removing the floorboards. Death from this is unlikely but certainly possible.

6. 2.5 story fall with paint cans

When Kevin sets the rope on fire, the bandits let go and fall 2.5 stories. The fall is broken by some loose floorboards, which launch up paint cans that hit them in the head. Either of these could very easily kill them.

Category VI- Likely death

5. Iron to the head

Marv pulls an iron down that hits him in the head from 2 stories up. Definitely a possibility of death.

4. Electrocution

Kevin electrocutes Marv with up to 150 Amps of electricity, which is almost double the “lethal” amount

3. SUCK BRICK KID

4 bricks to the head from 4 stories up? He’s a goner for sure

2. Head on Fire in kerosene toilet

If this happened there actually would not be an explosion like in the movie. Kerosene does not explode. However his entire face would be on fire with no way to put it out. Definitely dead

1. 100 lb bag of cement to head

This one is underrated and is by far the most effective. 100 lbs of concrete to the head from 3 stories up would snap somebody’s neck so fast. Instant death.


Given that each of the Top 4 are from Home Alone 2, I think it’s fair to say that 10-year old Kevin is the GOAT. In Home Alone 1 he shows some psychopathic tendencies but in HA2 he finally unleashes his killer instinct

Maybe if you're a necklet. Don't skip neck day and you'll survive like marv

I've always gotten a kick out of the iron to the face from 2 stories up. Your shite would be wrecked, and if you somehow survived you'd be begging for death.

Can’t argue too much with the list however I’d have the treehouse rope ranked as the worst. Cutting the rope allows them to get back to ground level pretty quickly which either traps Kevin in the treehouse or forces him to run for it which clearly backfired as they were able to catch him pretty quickly

Not sure if this fits a Kevin trap, but the crow bar to the chest when he tries to kill the tarantula would definitely be broken ribs and possible internal bleeding.

One correction, 100-200 milliamps are lethal.

So 1,000 times the lethal amount.

first off. this is the kind of list i can get behind!

i think most of your early fall traps are ranked too low. at 8 ft drop with no starting momentum we are talking about a ~15 mph terminal velocity. We are landing on limbs and spine we have high chances of significant injury. neck and head, good chance you arent getting back up again.

Have we looked into the possibility that Harry and Marv are actually immortal.

They beat death so many times it's unreal.
