My exhaustive exploration of the films of Ernest P. Worrell continues with a fond look back at the masterpiece that marked the end of the trash icon's Golden Age
This is pretty much the reason I subscribed as Scared Stupid is thd only Ernest film I saw in my youth but consequently means a lot to me. I have a copy jn my basement for some Halloween when my wife is like "Hm, got anything to watch?"
Incidentally, this past year we watched the new Hocus Pocus and then browsed through Disney+'s Halloween collection and landed on a TV movie called "Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire" so presumably Ernest was not in that collection, a huge oversight
I’m really enjoying this series of columns. I was very into Ernest movies as a kid and grew up with the local commercials as well. I’ve always said Varney was a much better actor than he got credit for so it’s really nice to see you saying the same thing and also really zeroing in on what made Ernest such an appealing character for kids.
That Matthew Perry dig is truly a gift that keeps on giving.
