Ernest Scared Stupid (a.k.a. "Ernest Saves Halloween") is a 1991 American comedy film directed by John R. Cherry III and starring Jim Varney. It's the fourth (technically fifth) film to feature the character Ernest P. Worrell.In 19th century Briarville, Missouri, Trantor the troll has been on a rampage, turning children into wooden dolls so that he can feast upon their energy. The townspeople lure the troll into a trap, chain him up and cast him into a pit, whereupon the village elder, Phineas Worrell, seals the troll beneath an oak tree, that it may never terrorize the children of Briarville again. Trantor swears to Phineas that one of his descendants will free him and he will rise again.Fast-forward to the 1990s, where Phineas Worrell's descendant, Ernest, is a garbageman and friend to the neighborhood children, Kenny, Elizabeth and Joey. The kids are busy working on a haunted house for Halloween, until it gets destroyed by a couple of bullies. Ernest steps in to help them build a treehouse instead. And of course, which tree does he decide would be the best choice?The film also features Eartha Kitt as Old Lady Hackmore, the creepy old witchy lady who lives near the tree. | |

Chekhov's Gag | |
| Ernest Scared Stupid / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: The entire reason they build a treehouse to begin with was so the kids had "the high ground" to defend themselves from the bullies. Come the end of the movie, it serves as the actual high ground in the fight against the trolls. | |

When Trees Attack | |
| Ernest Scared Stupid / int_4a9c731e | comment |
When Trees Attack: The book which describes Trantor's goals and weaknesses is titled "Trolls and Other Tree Devils." This helps explain why Trantor's "children" grow from seed pods and why he transforms children into wood, but raises a big question mark over Phineas Worrell's decision to seal him under an oak tree (which he transforms from his prison into his base of operations). | |

Mood-Swinger: The girl arguing with her mother about the ridiculous Halloween costume that she herself picked out: tempers flare and harsh words are exchanged, almost immediately followed by the two exchanging apologies and hugging. This brief moment also counts as an Out-of-Genre Experience. If it weren't for the fact that the scene is used for Old Lady Hackmore to figure out how to defeat the troll then that scene could have come off as a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment. | |

Asshole Victim: Non-fatal example (it is a kid's movie, after all): One of the Murdock brothers gets turned into the last doll Trantor needs to revive his fellow trolls. | |

Black Belt in Origami: While being menaced by Trantor for the first time, Ernest claims to know tai chi, kung fu, chow mein and that he saw Hulkamania three times, once in slow-motion. | |

Adults Are Useless: Except for Old Lady Hackmore; Ernest at least tries to be useful, and ultimately, he is in the end. Though to be fair, telling Ernest the exact detailed steps required to free Trantor qualifies her for the Idiot Ball. Played straight with the rest of the adults, even when they learned of the troll's existence. Subverted in the opening sequence, in which the adults manage to capture and seal away Trantor. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: As mentioned above, Trantor curses Phineas that his family would get stupider with every generation, intending on one of them being dumb enough to release him. This works, obviously, but at the same time, Ernest's idiocy is childlike enough to grant him the means to destroy Trantor for good. Talk about drastically overcompensating.... | |

Magical Seventh Son: Old Lady Hackmore says "you're the seventh son of the seventh son" when listing all the auspices that make Ernest The Chosen One for fulfilling his ancestor's legacy and defeating Trantor the Troll once and for all. It's not clear if she's being metaphorical or not, though, especially since she refers to him as the direct descendant of Phineas Worrell. | |

Super-Persistent Predator: Trantor going after Kenny and Elizabeth. He gives up his first pursuit to grab a passer-by, but resumes pursuing the two later despite all sorts of other kids in the neighbor and him being on a strict deadline. He really goes out of his way pursuing Kenny (and only gives up after being scared off by a milk truck). Perhaps he is just that sadistic, as evidenced by him turning Kenny to wood after achieving his goals. | |

Sheathe Your Sword: At the climax, everyone is urging Ernest to confront Trantor violently using milk! But amongst the throngs crying for blood, Ernest overhears Old Lady Hackmore advise him that there's an alternative: unconditional love. At hearing this, Ernest chooses the latter and basically showers Trantor with love. It works! | |

Conveniently Interrupted Document: While perusing one of Old Lady Hackmore's books on troll lore, Ernest notices two pages stuck together.

All Trolls Are Different | |
| Ernest Scared Stupid / int_fd752bc3 | comment |
All Trolls Are Different: Trantor is an evil troll who goes after children, turning them into little wooden dolls which give him his power, which he uses to try to create more trolls. He also has the ability to mimic the voice of anyone he's turned into a doll. Younger trolls can be killed by milk (mother's care) and older ones be driven off, but for the most powerful trolls, the only thing that can defeat them is unconditional love (the heart of a child). Also, Trantor has two noses. | |
