Ice Cream Man

아름답고 평화로운 도시 근교 조그만 마을에 어느날 아담한 아이스크림 트럭이 나타나면서 이상한 일들이 연이어 발생한다. 기묘한 생김새의 아이스크림맨 그레고리(Ice Cream Man: 클린트 하워드 분)는 불길한 느낌을 주는 미스테리의 인물. 어느날 밤 요란한 개의 울부짖는 소리와 함께 첫번째 희생자인 꼬마 로저(Roger Smith: 재차리 벤자민 분)가 실종되고 만다. 또래의 아이들과 잘 어울리지 못하던 로저가 실종된 후 조사를 위해 경찰이 파견된다. 결국 마을의 유일한 외지인인 그레고리에게 수사가 집중되지만 별다른 혐의점을 찾아내지 못한다. 그레고리는 계속 어눌한 말씨와 어리숙한 모습으로 알 수 없는 이상한 성분이 첨가된 기묘한 맛의 아이스크림을 만들어 판다. 그러던 어느날 로저의 친구들인 죠니(Johnny Spodak: 저스틴 이스펠드 분) 일당 중 하나인 폴이 아이스크림을 사먹으려다 봉변을 당하는데...

흥미로운 사실

Ice Cream Man is a 1995 American direct-to-video black comedy slasher film produced and directed by Paul Norman, a director of pornographic films, and written by Sven Davison and David Dobkin. The film stars Clint Howard, Olivia Hussey, Jan-Michael Vincent, David Warner and David Naughton. The film's plot follows a deranged man who was recently released from a psychiatric institution and opens up an ice cream factory where he begins using human flesh in his recipes. The film had an estimated $2 million budget. It was released at Chicago's Brew and View for the Clint Howard Film Festival in 1995, on DVD on October 19, 2004, and on Blu-ray and DVD by Vinegar Syndrome in 2017.

Production

Inspired by films such as The Goonies and The Monster Squad and the miniseries It, Paul Norman decided to create a horror film aimed at children, in his first and only attempt at mainstream filmmaking. The idea for the film came through an ill-advised call for scripts. Sven Davison and David Dobkin were hired to write the film's screenplay. The first draft of the script was written in three days.

Clint Howard was cast in the lead role of Gregory Tudor. For his performance, Howard drew inspiration from an ice cream man that swore at children in his hometown. He screamed and yelled at the top of his lungs while driving every day to the set, in order to portray Gregory with a more gravelly, raspy voice.

The film was shot on a $2 million budget in California in March 1994, with the locations including Norman's own neighborhood and house, Canoga Park (the playground), Chatsworth (the opening scene), San Gabriel (the Langley, Spodak and Cassera families' and Wanda's houses), Valley Glen (the print shop), Topanga Canyon (the ice cream plant), and the La Vina Respiratory Hospital in Altadena (the Wishing Well Sanatorium).

The film was initially set to have a PG-13 rating, but was given an R rating instead due to the heavy amount of blood, gore and gross-out imagery.

The makeup effects were done by David P. Barton, Bryan Blair, Alan C. Bosshardt, Denise Dillion, Mark Garbarino, Terese Heddon, Gary Pawlowski and Shauna Giesbrecht. Mashed potatoes were used as a substitute for ice cream in many shots.
