We All Scream for Ice Scream (Masters of Horror)

(2007) *1/2
Another chapter in the Masters of Horror collection, “We All Scream” is a chapter dedicated to showing you what happens when ice-cream truck clowns turn evil. It isn't too intimidating, for reasons JSP and JPX pointed out in their reviews and also due to the fact that Buster the Clown only targets the families of those that terrorized him – if you were a good kid growing up and are a good parent now, you've not a worry in the world!

"You say you brush your teeth every day AND get straight-As? Well, I guess you can be spared."
Unlike the clown from Stephen King's It, who targets kids indiscriminately, Buster is after the all-grow'd-up hooligans responsible for his death. There is not much else to add to this review, not any insights I can deliver at the 11th hour of My First Horrorthonexcept to say that I found each ice cream death more hilarious than the previous one. What can I say? Watching people melt into piles of delicious goo tickles me.
Ha-HA!

Yeah, everything about this episode sucked. As I've noted previously, this had the look and feel of a bad episode of Tales From the Dark Side. I can't believe that anyone looked at the final product and found it acceptable. Just terrible.

It would have been much better if William Forsythe reprised his "Ritchie" role from Out For Justice instead of that Buster the Clown crapola.

Hmmmm, people flavored ice cream. I'm not convinced Ben & Jerry's should try Cannibal Crunch as a new flavor just yet, maybe they should start small with Soylent Green.

How about Soylent Cream?

The pic of that guy melting actually looks pretty horrible if you don't know the ice cream part. The Fog has this problem, too: the number of victims is pre-set at the beginning.
