“Old Man” Marley (played by the late Roberts Blossom) is the mysterious neighbor of Kevin McCallister in the 90s Christmas comedy Home Alone.  Marley scares Kevin at first, as he’s rumored to be a serial killer, but it later becomes clear Marley is kind, if a little lonely, and he helps protect Kevin from Harry and Marv during their ill-fated home invasion.  To effectively portray Marly, you’ll need some warm layers, a pair of snow boots, and a dark peacoat.  Top off the look with a white beard and a metal snow shovel that can be used for both clearing sidewalks and thwarting bad guys.

Kevin McCallister is the main protagonist of the Home Alone movies. When the family goes on vacation, they forget their youngest member. At first, Kevin uses the accident to his advantage, as it’s any kid’s dream to have the house to themselves. But when two criminals, Harry and Marv, who dub themselves the Wet Bandits, aim to rob the house, it’s up to Kevin to defend it. He sets up various booby traps and tricks to save the day, which makes for hilarious scenes. Macaulay Culkin stars as the clever kid turned hero in every movie except for the third installment.
