Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The Chiodo Brothers are credited with Special Effects for this film, who also made the 1988 cult film Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988). Look for Trolls in the finale that resemble Klowns, as well as the same spinning death effect. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Kenny and his friends enter the store on the bikes, Jimmy the employee calls Kenny "Kenny Barton" even though he knows that his last name is "Binder" in the film. more

Ernest P. Worrell: Make sure your shoes are on the right feet and all your furniture's up against the WALLLL! more

ernest vs. troll, 14 July 2003
5/10
Author: colinwhitefan

Ernest (Jim Varney) gets into trouble when he builds a treehouse for the neighborhood kid and accidentally digs up an ugly, evil troll who hates all children and shows it by promptly turning the kids helping Ernest into wooden sculptures. Ernest Scared Stupid is overall one of the better Ernest movies, I found it to be stupid and harmless Halloween fun.
