Featured reviews
Ernest Scared stupid is my second favorite film in the Ernest series. Right behind Goes To Camp, Scared Stupid is an absolute comedy classic from my childhood. Jim Varney is a comedic legend and with director John Cherry created some of the most entertaining movies that are not only hilarious, but fun for the whole family.
The plot revolves around Ernest awakening an evil troll who goes after the neighborhood children, and it's up to Ernest and the kids to stop him.
The story is a little darker than most Ernest movies but packs just as much laughter as the rest in the series. It's a nice horror movie for kids and If you're a fan of Jim and the Ernest character, then you'll love this film.

This was the best Ernest movie of all. Jim Varney shines as the bumbling fool Ernest P. Worrell. The story basically has Ernest waking up a troll, who kidnaps and turns children to wood for his evil plans. Ernest must catch what he let out. Of course that ensures much mayhem and laughter (especially that giant bear trap). The plot resembles an old horror film but it works for Ernest. My opinion on the kids is, they help the plot work and make sense but got kind of annoying. The real reason to see this movie is to see what foolish thing Ernest does next. Overall a good film.
I saw this movie on TV a couple years ago, but I didn't get to see the whole thing because I had to go to that one place in the world that is most pointless and very stupid----yes, school. But, when I saw it at the video store a few days ago, I bought it. And this movie is seriously one of the best comedies that are "so stupid, they're funny".
The late Jim Varney stars as Ernest as he tries to stop an evil Troll from killing all of town's children. The movie begins with a montage of classic horror film clips, some of which I recognized to be FRANKENSTEIN and the 1922 classic NOSFERATU. There are some scenes that might not be suitable for children, but otherwise this hilariously funny romp is surely a movie that everyone should watch. This film is a must-see for anyone who loves stupidly funny comedies!
Sleep tight....ERNEST SCARED STUPID gets 4/5.

Ernest Scared Stupid is by far the best Ernest movie yet. Our lovable bumbling idiot has to save the day this time from a bunch of trolls. Sounds like a cheap horror flick plot, but once you factor in Ernest......its non stop side splitting Ernest P. Worrell action. I mean, it even has his faithful dog Rimshot in it. You can't go wrong with that.
"Ernest Scared Stupid" has been a part of my Halloween movie rotation for many years. I saw this movie in the theater (Fresh Meadows, NY). I liked it then and I still like it now. It has a lot of laughs. It has a nice story with characters you care about. Its monsters are pretty scary/pretty gross. Jim Varney was one of kind. I wouldn't call him a comic genius but he comes pretty close. He created a character that is as warm as he is funny. Ernest P. Worrell is always a welcome watch in my house.
