I love Earnest. He is genuine, caring, dedicated, and about the dumbest redneck I've ever seen. (Sorry, don't mean to intentionally insult any ignorant rednecks out there.) Portrayed so excellently by Jim Varney, Earnest is the redneck you love to laugh at; a real-life, walking-around cartoon character. My favorite of his movies is Earnest Goes to Camp, followed closely by this one, and then Earnest Rides Again.
This movie contains some really good horror elements, while maintaining the classic Earnest feeling. Watch for Eartha Kitt; remember her? She was the original Cat-Woman, and the best, in my opinion.
This production, while hilarious at Earnest's expense, was also a bit tense at times, lending an excellent perfection to the elements of horror and comedy. I loved that almost-Gothic cast iron dragon with the flame in his mouth there at the entrance to Kitt's house.
Excellent touch. And then there's Kitt going after Varney's character with a flame thrower, the Murdock's (a brother team of bullies), and the trolls which Earnest, in all stupidity, sets loose upon the children of a small, middle class American town.
Way to go, Earnest.
