Reviews

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
Over the years the movies have made precious little use of the distinctive talents of Eartha Kitt, but adults who accompany children to Ernest Scared Stupid, Disney's silly Halloween kiddie horror comedy, can be grateful for her stylish, witty presence.
50
The Seattle Times - John Hartl
While it's no breakthrough, this may be the best of Disney's popular Ernest comedies starring Jim Varney as an amiable moron in the Jerry Lewis tradition. [11 Oct 1991, p.23]
40
Austin Chronicle - Steve Davis
Although the scares in this movie are minimal, Ernest Scared Stupid nonetheless offers the frightening prospect of yet another installment of the Big E's misguided antics.

Washington Post - Rita Kempley
Alongside this silly kiddie Halloween comedy, reruns of Hee Haw seem works of great comic sophistication.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
The one highlight occurs during a couple of brief montage sequences which feature Varney mimicking a variety of cartoonish characters. These few moments are actually funny, but prove to be the only amusing moments in the film.
