Sherman Krader is the antagonist of the 1987 Touchstone Pictures film Ernest Goes to Camp.
Background[]
Personality[]
Sherman Krader is a ruthless and mean spirited CEO of Krader Industries, a demolition and mineral gathering company. His only concern is the bottom line and the pursuit of wealth no matter who has to go through to get it. While he maintains a stern attitude, he is also driven to madness as he was willing to kill and murder in order to get what he wants. Krader is also very cunning as he was able to trick Chief St. Cloud through Ernest by using his ineptitude to get approval for his demolition.
Trivia[]
- Krader is after a material called Petricite, which was a fictional mineral made up for the film. It also sounds like he is calling it "patricide", which is the act of killing one's father.
- When trying to get Chief St. Cloud to sign away the rights to the land, he calls him "Wind Cloud", whether this was intentional is unknown, though it is possible that Krader simply didn't take the time to learn his name properly.
