The Halloween Movie Watch List - #6 - ERNEST SCARED STUPID

You may ask yourself, (if you are one of the few that do read this) why did he pick this movie? To be honest, it mostly has to do with the fact that for the longest time. This is one of the only movies I had a copy of. I watched it every Halloween and have been known on occasion to dust off the old VHS and relive my childhood. Know what I mean?

If you would like a more in-depth and slightly deeper reason. I can tell you that Jim Varney is probably one of the most gifted Actors of all-time and sadly, is also one of the most underrated.

I think this is probably one of the best “Ernest” films simply because it fits so well with the completely absurd and goofy antics of the character. Varney was able to play so many different characters and I think this highlights his ability fairly well.

This is also a great movie to start the little ones on if you want to test the waters with the “scary stuff”. Take it from me! When I was a kid the Trolls scared the crap out of me, so I can imagine those kids that haven’t been exposed to this kind of movie before may be a little freaked out.

But this is certainly a great movie to watch every Halloween and when I get around to having a kid. This will be a regular Holiday viewing tradition. It is just one of those movies that if you grew up on it, then it will always hold a special place in your heart.
