Ernest P. Worrell and his pint-sized pals of Briarville, Missouri are under siege when the lovable lunkhead accidentally awakens a kid-hungry troll and its evil offspring in Ernest Scared Stupid. Snot-nosed, booger-lipped ghoulies — deliriously designed by the Killer Klowns' Chiodo Brothers — are on the loose, crashing parties and turning kids into tiny toothpicks. And not even Rimshot, Ernest's canine companion, is safe from their reign of terror. So grab a frosty jug of Miak, kick back and prepare for non-stop rubber-faced slapstick, delirious mugging, colorful thrills, Eartha Kitt (!!!), and a totally good time, as this witches' brew will tickle your tummy and bonk your noggin.
