Just in time for Halloween, I take a look back at the 1991 family horror comedy, Ernest Scared Stupid. I cover the origin of the character Ernest P. Worrell, where the movie idea came from, the film's casting, and production, as well as its box office returns. After the retrospective, I give a comedic recap of the film itself.
