This chilling horror film follows Gregory Tudor, a deeply disturbed man recently released from a sanitarium, who begins serving up his signature frozen treats to the neighborhood children. As the local kids start to vanish one by one, a young boy named Johnny and his friends become suspicious of the friendly, yet unsettling, new ice cream man. Driven by a traumatic past and a twisted desire for a perfect family, Gregory transforms his delivery truck into a mobile slaughterhouse, blending his gruesome acts with a veneer of cheerful salesmanship. The central conflict pits the town’s oblivious adults against the desperate children who must uncover the horrifying truth before they become the next batch of ingredients. Directed by Norman Apstein, the film blends a darkly comedic tone with genuine slasher thrills, creating an unsettling atmosphere where the innocent jingle of an ice cream truck signals a nightmare. With a memorable performance by Clint Howard as the unhinged Gregory, this cult classic serves up a twisted take on suburban nostalgia that will make you think twice before your next cone.
