About
Kevin McCallister Shaking Head, also known as Macaulay Culkin Nodding Head, refers to a series of memes based on an altered animation of Home Alone protagonist Kevin McCallister (played by actor Macaulay Culkin) bobbing and shaking his head to a drum beat by Arthur Dubois, achieved by jingling a set of windchimes submerged in a drum filled with water. The altered animation of Kevin McCallister was originally created by X / Twitter user @block_618 in late December 2023, followed by a spinoff of the 'Tomorrow Is X' Kevin meme by TikToker @mwuerete in December 2024 that combined it with the drum beat. The meme of Kevin shaking his head became notably popularized online throughout April 2025, leading into early May, especially on TikTok.
