Per Halloween tradition since I was a kid, I've always had to put on my favorite of the Ernest films, Ernest Scared Stupid. While this maybe family orientated humor, there's still a lot to enjoy as an adult | Ernest Scared Stupid | Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) is working as a garbage collector in a small Missouri town. Despite the warnings of superstitious local Old Lady Hackmore (Eartha Kitt), he accidentally unleashes devious troll Trantor (Jonas Moscartolo), a slimy creature confined under a tree for 200 years. Trantor changes some kids into wooden dolls and turns Ernest's dog, Rimshot, into a log. Ernest then teams up with Old Lady Hackmore to get rid of the beast and bring the victims back to life.
