mater of horror represent we all scream for ice cream start at the funeral of kent ( brent sheppard ) and all his friend be there include layne ( lee tergesen ) who have recently move back to the town . he hasn not see his childhood gang the west end bunch in year and this isn not a happy reunion a another of his old mate toot ( lyle st. goddard ) feel there be underhand force at work that want to wipe them all out and layne and the rest of the west end bunch think he talk nonsense but that very night toot mysteriously disappear . layne start to get very worried that a dark childhood secret have return to claim the life of the west end bunch use their child and ice cream a the supernatural mean to do so . this american canadian co production be episode 10 from season 2 of the hit and miss master of horror tv series and direct by tom holland i think we all scream for ice scream be a definite miss and a rubbishy story that do not do anything for me at all . the script by david j. schow be base on the annoyingly title short story i scream and you scream and we all scream for ice cream by john farris and be a pretty lame attempt at horror and the main problem i have with we all scream for ice cream be that it take itself so seriously and it try to be scary . unfortunately the basic story of a dead ice cream man come back from the dead to avenge his death by turn his teenage killer into big puddle of ice cream be even more ridiculous watch it on telly than it sound here and i just couldn not take the silly notion seriously at all and i sit there extremely unmoved . a an episode it rather predictable with the hero save the day in stupid fashion during the lacklustre end and a story that be very linear and a bit clichéd . however and there at least one messy special effect worth see and at less than a hour in length it move along at a decent enough pace although even then it fail to really grip or engage me . judging by this i be not sure director holland can be consider a master of horror but that down to personal opinion i suppose and to be fair he know how to turn in a decent look effort and we all scream for ice cream have nice enough production value . this one not the usual gore fest and there a cool scene when someone messily melt into ice cream but why do the previous two victim not melt in this way especially the first one who one moment be stand there and the very next he melt to nothing within a split second . the constant shot of the supernatural ice cream van drive through it very own fog cloud ( it must have it own mini climate ) be embarrass to watch at time and about as unscary an image i can think of . technically the show fine and even pretty impressive a it belie it low budget make for tv root and the special effect be excellent a usual although how the actor manage to keep a straight face while act this stuff out be beyond me . there not a hint of irony here at all and they all seem to take this extremely seriously like an oscar be on the line . we all scream for ice cream isn not the bad master of horror i have see but it down there i be afraid and just about worth a watch for fan but there be much good master of horror story out there .
