Some things I liked some I did not.

Admirable film.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Were season one delivered what horror buffs want season two is coming to an end and so far only a few were good but most of the entries missed out what it should be. But this episode luckily delivers what I expected from Masters Of Horrors. A good story with some creepy atmosphere's and here and there some nice effects done by Berger and Nicotero.But this episode really stands on the performance of Buster the clown by William Forsythe. The story itself is as simple as it can get. Youngsters having a prank with an ice cream delivery man dressed as a clown. But the prank is disastrous by the fact that Buster is being killed. Now all adults and having kids they are remembered by the prank due an ice cream car coming back in their lives with a revengeful spirit.From shot one I could tell that this was right. The ice cream van coming out of the mist in slow motion with a creepy add already set the tone for this episode. It takes a bit before it really starts because you have to go into the characters of the youngsters and we do need the flashback to see what went wrong but after that it's a pure delight. It takes you back to flicks like Body Melt (1993) or The Stuff (1985). We do actually see body melt like ice cream all done in-camera and it looked very nice. One of the better episodes together with Pelts. Kids and clowns are working it out in an icy atmosphere.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

Buster the Clown(William Forsythe), a tragic victim of a prank gone awry, returns from the grave to murder those kids behind his death, now grown, by giving the men's children voodoo ice cream cones..when each child bites into these voodoo ice cream bars their fathers melt into ice cream! No, I'm not kidding you.I think fans of director Tom Holland("Child's Play", "Fright Night","Thinner")might like this silly little installment of Masters of Horror. Forsythe as a zombie clown in the present and as a stuttering mentally handicapped(..but, kind and wonderful to the little kids on his block)clown in the 70's, who becomes a victim of smart-ass kids who decide to poke fun at him and eventually pull a prank using his parked ice-cream truck that ends badly, is always fun to watch. This episode doesn't hold up to close scrutiny(For instance, how does Buster actually return from the grave? Or, how is he able to hypnotize the children of those behind his death in the 70's?)so you'll have to look over it's story flaws or it will not work for you. But, if anything, you have to see how the men melt from humans into ice cream..it's a gas.Lee Tergesen(the biker in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre-The Beginning") stars as Layne, the protagonist who followed the order of bully Virgil when he was a boy to cause the unfortunate demise of Buster.David J Schow(Leatherface:Texas Chainsaw Massacre III;Critters 3 & 4)wrote the teleplay which might explain the film's lapses in logic, and the profane characters(..and, like "Stand by Me", the kids spout off curse words as well in the 70's)that inhabit the film.Holland and Schow use cold as an important tool in the story-telling.

I've glimpsed tidbits of articles where writer David J. Schow has vented his frustration over the final form of 'We All Scream for Ice Cream,' Tom Holland ("Child's Play"; "Fright Night")'s contribution to the "Masters of Horror" anthology. While the film itself is mostly surface and little subtext, and pushing the allotted 60-minute run time, it's not really clear what could have been done to salvage it. That's not to say "Scream" isn't worth a look--sure, part of its effect rests on our ability to take a silly premise seriously ('slow' clown-faced ice-cream man Buster--played by William Forsythe--is killed during a vicious childhood prank; years later, his ghost comes back for revenge, using the grown kids' kids as vessels of evil), but some moments are particularly well-done: the soft-focus, colorful flashbacks that show childhood cruelty in all its sadistic glory; and images of zombied kids with quarters in their hands. Parallels to Grimm's Fairy Tales is apt, and the story has a clever, well-done hook, but the acting is questionable (nobody really seems to know how the material should be played, especially in the more absurd moments), and the resolution ultimately unfulfilling (relying on a random coincidence that doesn't make narrative sense). Holland, however, does a fine job of moving the story along (even if it is never really scary), and gets a surprising performance out of Forsythe, playing the polar opposite of his "Devil's Rejects" persona.

What is it about clowns? For something that is supposed to bring joy to children, there are more scary movies about them almost any other subgenre. Director Tom Holland returns to the genre after a 11 year hiatus with his first for the Masters Of Horror series, We All Scream For Ice Cream. First off, this is far from the greatest entry in the series. It does have its problems. Number one being a somewhat clichéd storyline. What it does have going for it is that in his retirement, Tom Holland hasn't lost the touch. We All Scream For Ice Cream is a fun and nasty little tale of revenge from beyond the grave. There are some really cheesy moments such as the victims of the clown melting into pools of ice cream when the kick off, but its all in good fun. William Forsythe is once again superb as the clown in both his mentally retarded during life and his demonic force after death roles. Overall, I really enjoyed this one. It wasn't the best of the season, but it was far from the worst.
