Ice Cream Man (1995) KILL COUNT is the one hundred and fifth video of The Kill Count.
Overview[]
In a 1950s American suburb, young Gregory Tudor witnesses his local ice cream man, known as the "Ice Cream King," murdered in a drive-by shooting. In the present, Gregory has taken over the "King's" business, calling himself the Ice Cream Prince, and using the man's truck and ice cream parlor. Unbeknownst to the public, Gregory is putting gruesome ingredients in his ice cream such as insects, blood, and body parts, and is using the dilapidated ice cream parlor as a sort of laboratory in which he produces his concoctions.
One night, Gregory kills a dog belonging to Nurse Wharton—his landlord and one of the orderlies who treated him for his childhood trauma. The same night, Roger, a boy from the neighborhood, goes missing. The other children, having witnessed Gregory's creepy personality, suspect him of kidnapping Roger, but the police and Nurse Wharton do not. The kids, Johnny, Heather, and Tuna, agree to gang up and search for Roger themselves. Soon after, another boy known as Small Paul disappears.
The kids are initially unable to prove that Gregory is dangerous, and the police persist in not believing them. Gregory has recurring flashbacks to his abusive treatment at the Wishing Well Sanatorium, and obsessively idolizes the Ice Cream King, visiting the man's grave at odd hours of the night. As the kids dig deeper, it is revealed that Gregory really did kidnap Roger and Small Paul, and is keeping them in a cage at the ice cream parlor. However, Small Paul shows a macabre interest in Gregory's experiments, and so Gregory takes him under his wing.
Two detectives investigate the Wishing Well, which turns out to be an unregulated free-for-all; the unstable patients roam freely and cause chaos, while the doctors and administrators are insane themselves. The police now believe the children regarding Gregory's craziness, and prepare to search for Roger and Small Paul at the ice cream parlor. When Gregory kidnaps Tuna, Heather enlists the help of her older brother Jacob to investigate the parlor, but Jacob is killed by Gregory, who also kills Jacob's girlfriend and frightens Heather and Johnny into running around the property. Gregory outsmarts the two cops and knocks them unconscious. By holding a photo of the Ice Cream King over his face, Small Paul causes Gregory to walk into a trap that pulls him into the main ice cream mixer, where Gregory is dismembered by the razor-sharp mixing blade.
Roger and Tuna are reunited with their friends, who mention that Small Paul has been sent to therapy. A closing shot shows Small Paul sitting alone in a darkened room, silently churning a bucket of ice cream, his face twisted into an evil leer just like Gregory's.
