A HOME ALONE superfan has recreated Macaulay Caulkin’s famous traps from the hit festive film – and discovered they’re more than just child’s play.

Jake Roper used a human-sized rubber dummy, complete with internal organs, before subjecting it to the stunts carried out on burglars Marv and Harry by cheeky kid Kevin McCallister.

, the ballistics dummy suffered a punctured heart and lungs, broken ribs and a smashed skull.

Jake, 29, said: “Could you survive the Home Alone traps? Most likely, no. You wouldn’t.”

The first booby trap Jake and his pals reenacted was the scorching doorknob. In the 1990 film, Kevin places an electric BBQ lighter brass knob before Harry attempts to open it.
