Macaulay Culkin's scream! It's only the weekend already!

With a house rigged up to the teeth with traps, spikes, ice and the odd red hot handle, we're ready and waiting for the weekend to hit and bring with is all the mischief that's been building up during the last school week. We'll let the paint cans fly, our BB gun fire and spiders free as we take on all that the weekend can throw at us while doing our best to take in all the celluloid wonder that it brings with it.
