Ice Cream Man 4K UHD + Blu-ray Limited Slipcase Edition

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.
