Our Halloween Special continues with something completely different. To go with the edgy, grisly From Dusk till Dawn, we present you Ernest Scared Stupid. You can’t expect much from anything with Stupid in the title, and this movie delivers exactly what you expect. Next week kicks off our leftover series, with a spooky carryover from Halloween.
