Former childhood friends - now middle-age men - are mysteriously disappearing around their home town. All that seems to turn up in their place are big pink puddles of goo. We learn that they were involved in an 'incident' that lead to the tragic, accidental death of a beloved ice cream vendor, named Buster, years ago. Now, Buster's back for revenge and is using his killers' children against them.
This one's obviously got a strong "Nightmare on Elm Street" influence, only with the generational victims angle 'flipped'. William Forsythe pulls off the retarded, voodoo pop-slingin' clown role surprisingly well; a far cry from his usual 'tough guy' parts we're most used too which is definitely a credit to his acting prowess. The effects are a bit hit-or-miss - of course, the more practical stuff looking pretty damn good, namely the scene of the hick melting in the bath while some of the CGI is a bit lacking. The story isn't brimming with originality, but overall, "We All Scream for Ice Cream" is a cool one outta the MoH series.
