Product Description

Everybody's favorite know-it-all, Ernest P. Worrell, scares up heaps of hilarious laughs in this frightfully funny comedy! The loveable lunkhead is in for a devil of a time when he accidentally unleashes an evil demon from its sacred tomb, causing the awakened foe to go on a devastating rampage. Ernest desperately attempts to prevent the destruction of town, but a 200-year-old curse renders Ernest Scared Stupid! And that's when the fun and adventure begin! Loaded with uproarious hilarity, and a host of outrageously kooky characters, this big-screen treat delivers off-the-wall nuttiness that's sure to drive you wild any time of the year!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jim, RIP, creates memorable halloween character, July 14, 2002

By	adam turner (Morgantown, WV USA) - See all my reviews

Ernest is the man.

I've been an Ernest fan since I was a diaper clad child.
He saved Christmas, went to school, went to camp, went to Africa, and neither last nor least was SCARED STUPID.

Long live Ernest P., though Mr. Varney is no longer with us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ernest Scared Stupid- It's So Funny, It's Scary!, February 2, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ernest Scared Stupid [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Ernest Scared Stupid" is the sequel to "Ernest Goes to Jail" about the loony yet heroic Ernest P. Worrell at it again.
This time, he accindently frees Trentor the troll from his underground home. Freed, Trentor needs to seek five people and turn the into like-wooden dolls to free baby trolls and take over the Earth!
Can Ernest do what his forefather did years ago (trapping Trentor into the ground)? Watch "Ernest Scared Stupid" to find out!

4.0 out of 5 stars 100 Words on "Ernest Scared Stupid", August 9, 2006

By	John Weagly "Mystery & Horror Writer" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As I sat and watched "Ernest Scared Stupid" (the "Citizen Kane" of Ernest movies) I realized there's something to be said for knowing what you want to do and doing it. That's what Jim Varney did. His Earnest P. Worrell was to the 80's and 90's what the likes of Abbott and Costello, the Three Stooges and the Bowery Boys were to the 40's and 50's: silly, juvenile slapstick brought to you by kooky but lovable characters. Sure they were low budget, flawed and, some might say, just plain stupid, but, why did they have to be anything more? Knowwhutimean?
