Gregory Tudor spent years in a mental hospital after the trauma of witnessing the cold-blooded killing of his beloved childhood ice cream man, Butch Brickle. Eventually released to the alleged care of the vapid Nurse Wharton, and still entirely consumed with the art of frozen confections, Gregory takes over Butch’s ice cream business and, of course, his iconic truck. But Gregory's secret recipes for Rocky Road and Pistachio have improved upon those of his idol, as he adds selected bits of human corpses for an extra tasty treat. But when a few neighborhood kids get a bit too nosy and arouse the interest (and hunger) of the police, Gregory has little choice but to make sure they end up in the next batch of his popular ice cream.
A deliciously twisted horror confection of the direct-to-video era, Norman Apstein’s ICE CREAM MAN offers an outrageous starring turn from master character actor Clint Howard (Evilspeak, Apollo 13) as Gregory, in addition to memorable supporting performances from Olivia Hussey (Black Christmas), David Naughton (An American Werewolf in London), Jan-Michael Vincent (The Mechanic, TV's Airwolf), and David Warner (In the Mouth of Madness). Vinegar Syndrome is excited to dish out this absurdly gory and darkly humorous cult favorite to 4K UHD, newly restored from its original negative and offering an extensive selection of extras.

"What a treat to get Ice Cream Man in 4k! It looks amazing and the art and packaging is beautiful. Such a campy cult classic that hits the sweet spot! With the ice cream man, every day IS a happy happy happy day!"
"You scream, I scream, we all scream for The Ice Cream Man! Clint Howard is perfectly cast in this creepy flick."
"I am so thrilled to have this upgraded finally. Have had my dvd for a couple decades at this point. I love this movie. Clint Howard is a true gem."
"LOVE this movie, its such a stupid fun delight :) when I heard it was getting a crisp remaster i just had to grab it! Huge fan of the fun little zine that comes with it, and since i got it at a vended event, I got to chat up the lovely folks at the stand too!"
"Ice Cream Man is just one of those slashers that is highly recommended viewing for any lover of the genre for so many reasons: the legendary Clint Howard; the late, eternally phenomenal Olivia Hussey; and it’s a lot of amazing, gore-filled, exaggerated fun while also very apparently coming from a place of great sincerity and love from everyone involved. This latest limited edition features some absolutely gorgeous artwork, with the cherry on top of this bloody good ice cream cone being the booklet containing essays from fantastic horror writers like BJ Colangelo. Simply wonderful."
"Stunning edition, love the artwork"
"I was very impressed with the colours on the 4K. It's a pretty colourful movie. It has great kills and the new packaging is really cool."
"No Eli Roth AI slop to be had here. Imperfect as it may be, the effects are great and Clint Howard is on form. Really good fun"
"Was pleasantly surprised how this was going to come out lol Very very happy"
"I know everyone acts like this is the worst horror film ever but I freakin love it. Clint Howard is super creepy. The kills are pretty good. Im so glad this got a 4K release. Packaging looks super good too."
