31 Days of Horror Movie 16

Ice Cream Man
1995
Mill Creek double feature DVD


Clint Howard plays the ice cream man in this film. As a young kid he watched his neighborhood Ice cream man get killed. After getting out of the mental hospital Clint becomes the new ice cream man. And he goes around killing people. In some pretty brutal ways.

This is a fun mid 90s comedy/horror hybrid. Clint Howard is always entertaining. And Olivia Hussy is really good as the nurse that still keeps an eye on Clint. I really loved the scene where Clint is serving ice cream to a cop and there is an eye ball in it. Clint has been mixing the people he has killed bodies in with the ice cream for years.

The DVD is bare bones. It just has this film and Jack Frost II on it. But it was cheap. I think I paid $3 for it. Ice Cream Man is worth tracking down. This is a film I point out to all the people that tell me no good horror came out in the 90s.

Ice Cream Man gets a B-.
