Two actors who've put their stamp on the pop-cultural landscape of the '90s are roasting each other hard in the current era of social media trolling.
Macaulay Culkin––forever linked to his earlier work as a child actor in the Home Alone films––and Devon Sawa, a Canadian actor known for his work as a teenager on films like Idle Hands, Final Destination and Slackers, are going at it on Twitter, and we're loving it.
Check out Devon Sawa & Macaulay Culkin’s twitter feeds.. Guys I’m dying.. My childhood lives 🤣💀 https://t.co/ffT9lKUNHG— Joanie™ (@Joanie™)1538593699.0
Hello Giggles believes the friendly feud started when Culkin – who is a podcast co-host on his parody website BunnyEars.com, wore a t-shirt with the words "Devon Sawa" with an arrow pointing upwards to his face.
Sawa, 40, responded with a graphic tee of his own, getting back at the 39-year-old Culkin.
Despite the image being cropped in the photo, the letters spelling "Macaulay" are evident.
I’m about to go rob a mother fucking bank!! https://t.co/NnXzMFK8Pw— devon sawa (@devon sawa)1538428338.0
Culkin was quick to lend his foe a helping hand by setting up a GoFundMe page in the event Sawa should suffer consequences for the bank heist.
Wait! Before you throw our lives away... I made you this instead: https://t.co/USe9wI1O3X Maybe your pal JTT can… https://t.co/qycY47qme0— Macaulay Culkin (@Macaulay Culkin)1538489934.0
Us Weekly believes the spat dates back a few months. On July 12, 2018, Sawa made a jab at Culkin for his iconic portrayal as the bratty Kevin McCallister from Home Alone.
"Back in the late 80s I got a call from a young @IncredibleCulk. He was frantic. Stuck. In a dark place, creatively," wrote Sawa.
"I said 'Mac chill,' I was 12. Told him 'pretend you're shaving, put some aftershave in your hands, slap it on your face & scream..It'll be gold.' You're welcome."

Culkin responded immediately, tweeting, "Dude, that story couldn't be true. I didn't know you in the 80's. Neither did anyone else."

Ouch.
Sawa returned the favor by telling Twitter that the Richie Rich actor has a Tinder profile.
It’s me @IncredibleCulk , find me on Tinder! https://t.co/JkkH5dwVGx— devon sawa (@devon sawa)1538498647.0
But Culkin showed Sawa who's boss by creating an actual dating profile for him on FarmersOnly.com, which brings "salt of the earth" types together.
It's me @DevonESawa , find me on Farmer's Only! https://t.co/WzfiPAtQk8— Macaulay Culkin (@Macaulay Culkin)1538574619.0
In another epic move from Sawa, he mentioned Culkin's on-screen mother from Home Alone, Catherine O'Hara, in this July 13, 2018 tweet.
They shot this scene 158 times because she kept saying Devon instead of Kevin. @IncredibleCulk https://t.co/Yhrs52Bouy— devon sawa (@devon sawa)1531498448.0
How long these two will continue sparring is anybody's guess, but both Culkin and Sawa show no signs of defeat. That's great for the rest of us on Twitter.
@IncredibleCulk Dammit if this isn't the best thread on Twitter. Hip kids still call things a thread right? 🤣— Jess (@Jess)1538490322.0

May the pair never call a truce.

I can't definitively say I've come face to face with the spirits. But I have had some unsettling feelings in the dark. Shadows are just shadows sometimes, but who can be sure.
I hear it...
Nbc Wings GIF by HULUGiphy"I was helping my dad clean my grandma's house after she passed and I went in and was trying to find a song in my phone and before I could I heard a cough plain as day come from down the hallway where her room was. She died of lung and throat cancer it was pretty crazy."
Running Past...
"When I was 5 I remember getting home from my grandpa's birthday party. For context my mom was pregnant with my brother at the time, so my parents had already bought his crib. I woke up in the middle of the night to find a women in a white dress and long black hair standing over my brother's crib. I managed to wake up my dad so he could take me to the bathroom. When I got back it was still there. It was only until morning when it disappeared. Every now and then I see a glance of what I assume is that thing running past the backyard."
The Cat
"My best friend and his wife had moved to a new apartment. I came over to visit a few times, and each time I'd see the motion of a cat in my peripheral vision. Not the image of a cat, but a sense of how a cat moves. Anyway, one day I finally cracked some joke about the ghost cat in the place and his wife was instantly saying "See! See! I told you we had a ghost cat!"
"excuse me"
"I worked graveyard shift in a dementia ward for 4 years and it was anything but quiet. I was working with a nurse one night when we both heard a resident say "excuse me." We looked around and no-one was there. I checked on the resident in question and she was fast asleep in her own room. Many of us also experienced someone whistling in the ward late at night and one nurse even managed to catch a video of it happening. It was unnerving to say the least."
Clueless
Skeleton GIFGiphy"I once saw someone short walk by me in my house. They walked into the laundry room which only has one way in. I walked into it behind them and they where gone. I thought it was my little brother but I went to his room and he was asleep. I still have no clue what that was."

Now was everyone here positive they were sober? Just asking. Those are certainly spooky moments. I'd like some video footage please. Continue...
Reflections
ghost library GIFGiphy"I was up at 3am when I was maybe 7 or 8. I looked out the window and saw a woman in a white dress run across my yard. I could see through her. She was transparent like the reflections on the window."
"you alright?"
"So, my work place is haunted. I was having a really crap day, and as a cleaner, it's normal that me and my co worker will be the only ones left at night. So I was standing on the second floor, leaning on the banister for the stair case, when I heard this male voice say in my ear "you alright?" Clear as day. I turned around so fast and nobody was there and it scared the hell out of me."

Watching Me
"I remember as a young kid I usually use to sit in my bed and watch tv with my room door open while the adjacent guest bedroom next to mine would always have the door shut. I always remember seeing that door fully open and close by itself multiple times a day very slowly and gently. Never really bothered me much now that I think about it… but there were other creepier experiences I had in the same house that made me feel uncomfortable like I was being watched."
Betsy
"I went to the Betsy Ross House as a really little kid in the early 90s. Normal house but I was confused why the tour guide never talked about the woman on the chair crying at the edge of the bed in Betsy Ross's bedroom. So I asked about it. No one else saw the woman at the edge of the bed. I figured it was just a wax museum since there was a wax statue of a man in uniform rolling bullets in the basement."
"Years later, I was looking at haunted Philadelphia tours to go on with a friend and the Betsy Ross House was on it. I was like "woah! I was there!" and looked into it some more. Turns out there is a woman at the end of the bed crying and a uniformed man in the basement that people have reported seeing. There is no way that 8 year old me would have known about either of these things."
hello kitty...
hello kitty lol GIF by Animation Domination High-DefGiphy"I had this hello kitty Balloon In my bed room, it had a string and weight on it. So it was late, I had the lights on just Sitting on my bed. The Balloon turns, faces my door, slowly floats into my hallway and turns and floats into my sister's room. To this day I am scared of balloons."
They are among us and they like Hello Kitty. I'm probably rattling the paranormal cages and they'll come for me next, but I'm ready. I feel like this thread has prepared me.
Boo!
