Ready for a Second Scoop of the Ice Cream Man After Twenty Years?

shhhh

In 1995 the world was introduced to the comedy slasher Ice Cream Man.  The film starred Ronny Howard’s little brother Clint in what I would say is an iconic role in horror.  Now, almost twenty years later, a sequel is in the works and you can be apart of making that happen!

The film is currently seeking funds through Kickstarter and those that contribute will receive some amazing prizes.  Check out the press release below:

I scream, you scream, we all scream…for “Ice Cream Man 2: Sundae Bloody Sundae,” the upcoming, full-length horror feature starring the original Ice Cream Man, MTV Lifetime Award-winning actor Clint Howard and produced by Paul Norman Productions. Fans of the classic horror film can be part of the next generation of creepy fun by joining the Kickstarter campaign to get “Ice Cream Man 2: Sundae Bloody Sundae” out of the freezer and into theaters.

It’s been twenty years since “Ice Cream Man” —an iconic spectacle of gore, blood, and mayhem—exploded onto the big screen. Audiences couldn’t get enough of Howard’s mental-patient-turned-sweet-treat-scooper Gregory, who laced his frozen creations with bugs and choice bits of corpses and served them up to unsuspecting, Converse-wearing kids out for summer fun. Since its release, the original “Ice Cream Man” has become a classic in the Bad Movie canon, cheerfully terrorizing two decades of viewers with low-budget action, cheesy dialogue, and some of the most creative uses of severed heads ever seen on screen.

Independent filmmakers Howard and producer Norman Apstein have turned to Kickstarter to finance “Ice Cream Man 2: Sundae Bloody Sundae.” Kickstarter is a global crowdfunding community that helps bring creative projects to life. To date, nearly 6 million Kickstarter donors have pledged more than $1 billion in support of 135,000 projects, which include films, music, stage shows, comics, journalism, video games, and food-related endeavors.

As the original Ice Cream Man’s popularity has skyrocketed among horror film and bad movie aficionados, star Howard and producer Apstein’s sequeltakes the story beyond the kid’s movie genre and ratchets up the horror quotient—notch by blood-soaked notch. “Ice Cream Man 2: Sundae Bloody Sundae” won’t be a movie for children—it’s a tale of revenge, chock-full of murderous intent, laced with dripping entrails, and served up ice cold. The Rocketeers—Johnny, Heather, Tuna, and Small Paul—are all grown up now, and Gregory wants them to suffer. Really suffer. Torture and violence are on the menu, and it’s going to be sweet.

Those that would like to contribute can do so by heading over to Kickstarter.  Check it out and if you can’t contribute then share the link on Facebook. Twitter, and Myspace if you are having a hard time letting go.
