5.5/10
Not gonna lie, this scared me as a kid. Scares me as an adult too but for different reasons. Ernest P. Worrell was one of my childhood heroes. He battled camps and jails and Christmas but, when it came to Halloween, he battled trolls and an aging Eartha Kit with Rimshot (his Jack Russell terrier) by his side. There’s a lot to this movie regarding the horror of troll summoning and child neglect but it’s an all-in-all fun time. Highly recommended.
Loved Ernest in all his glory. Hated the bad acting and daytime filming. The actual scariness of this movie delivers and you get a real sense of impending doom that, seemingly, only a good-hearted do-nothing can vanquish.
