Marv must be feeling nostalgic!

Home Alone star Daniel Stern, who famously played robber Marv in the classic Christmas movie, took to Facebook to recreate one of the movie's most famous scene: the moment when Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) puts his brother's tarantula on Marv's face. The hilarious scene has Marv screaming in such a high octave that it almost seemed impossible for any person to accomplish, but shrieked he did before throwing it on his partner in crime's face (Harry, played by Joe Pesci).

Unfortunately, in Stern's remake we don't have Pesci, but all these years later Stern was able to prove he still has the pipes to scream the same way his character once did. With his wife on the camera, Stern flips over a covered bucket and reveals what's inside: a massive tarantula! No, he didn't put it on his face, but he did reenact that same scream from the original movie and proved he still has what it takes to be Marv.

Stern has brought back his character before when he responded to Culkin's NSFW video that had him return to his McCallister roots for Jack Dishel's NSFW digital series :DRYVRS, a show that parodies Uber and Lyft driving experiences.

The dark, homemade video showed Stern begging for help and telling the camera, "I saw it on the Internet! The kid is coming to get us."

Stern added that Culkin's character is seeking revenge against him and his Wet Bandit partner, adding, "He's coming for all of the home invaders and he's gonna come get us."

Watch the video above to see Marv return to his robber roots, and if you need any reminding of the classic scene, watch the clip below.
