Movie P. Warrells,
Just 5 grown men watching a tv commercial based kids movie from 25 years ago. Nothing to see here.
So in this movie a special needs garbage man and possible child predator prowls around the woods looking for children to spray with his authentic bulgarian meack. For the first 45 minutes it’s actually kind of enjoyable, I mean I have seen this movie 20 times or so, but it holds up…until the final act. Then like most movies I watch, it ended with everyone getting drenched with creamy white liquid, dying inside, and learning a lesson.
The special effects department must have been on leave from their jobs making Pumpkinhead or sequels to Killer Klowns from Outer Space because the trolls are way too scary for a kids movie.
Later I realized that she must be a witch because she was supposed to be one of the little kids who didn’t get turned to wood during the flashback. which seemed like pilgrim times? so she’s like 200 years old? maybe I wasn’t paying attentions.
This week it’s’ Goins pick. I think he wrote CB4 before he left on Thusday night.
I’m sure that’s out there somewhere.

Ernest Scared Stupid is a 1991 American comedy horror film directed by John R. Cherry III and starring Jim Varney. It is the fifth film to feature the character Ernest P. Worrell. In the film, Ernest unwittingly unleashes an evil troll upon a small town on Halloween night and helps the local children fight back. It was shot in Nashville, Tennessee like its predecessors Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam, Ernest Goes to Camp, Ernest Saves Christmas, and Ernest Goes to Jail.
Due to its modest gross of $14,143,280 at the U.S. box office,[2] Disney did not pick up the option after their initial four-picture deal with Cherry and Varney had ran out, therefore making this the fourth and final Ernest film to be released under the Disney label Touchstone Pictures. All future Ernest films were independently produced, and following the financial failure of the theatrical release Ernest Rides Again, the Ernest films shifted to a straight-to-video market.
Its opening credits feature a montage of clips from various horror and science fiction films, including Nosferatu (1922), White Zombie (1932), Phantom from Space (1953), The Brain from Planet Arous (1957), The Screaming Skull (1958), Missile to the Moon (1958), The Hideous Sun Demon (1958), The Giant Gila Monster (1959), The Killer Shrews (1959), Battle Beyond the Sun (1959), and The Little Shop of Horrors (1960).
