Ernest Scared Stupid
Directed by John CherryLife could be pretty if there wasn't someone like Ernest P. Worrell on this planet. In this movie he helps to escape an evil troll out of his grave. That's the start of the end for the world. But... Ernest wouldn't be Ernest if he wasn't planning on saving all the people. This action doesn't make it any better. It's getting worse.

Ernest Scared Stupid Ratings & Reviews
- Dave Yz125November 1, 2025Absolutely a classic
- Ecto-1AOctober 31, 2025😱 He may be scared and a little stupid, but he’s got more heart than anyone on screen. 🎃 A must-watch for every Halloween season. The mini monologues written for Ernest are pure genius, downright comical and packed with that signature Varney wit. Watching Jim Varney slip between characters through his “hysterical perspective” gives a nod to his glory days in theater. The monster design and practical effects by The Chiodo Brothers (Killer Klowns From Outer Space) are top-notch, and Eartha Kitt’s inclusion is the icing on this wonderfully weird cake. No one will ever truly pick up the Ernest mantle, because if you know the history, you know: Jim Varney was Ernest, and Ernest was Jim Varney. So grab a glass of miak... uh, milk... and let Ernest handle your worries for the next 90 minutes. KnowwhatImean?
- JacobOctober 31, 2025Another year, another Ernest Scared Stupid stream with my best friend during Spooktober. I’m okay with this being the only Halloween movie I watch this month. It’s genuinely funny and touching, even if the script isn’t anything special. Jim Varney was a great actor who deserves more recognition for his acting abilities. I appreciate the laughs that Ernest has given me over the years, even as a child who grew up with these movies, thanks to my uncle. 🦇 Happy Halloween ‘25! 🫡
- wolfboyhairAugust 14, 2025You cannot have Halloween without this movie. It's probably the best movie ever made. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for a glass of milk. And Eartha Kitt? COME ON.
- Wonkothesane87October 18, 2025This is a very bad movie. But it did scare me at parts when I was a kid, and I used to watch it a lot.
