Bloody Sundae: Crispin Glover Will Make You Scream for Ice Cream
/media/news/21095/2.jpg
Tubby, sticky fingered children across the globe grow up relentlessly scolded for eating too many sweets because it is bad for their health. In his next film, celluloid misfit Crispin Glover proves that sweets can indeed kill. Following his star role in the Wizard of Gore (alongside some SGs none the less), Glover has been officially cast in the lead of The I Scream Man, a not-so-saccharine slasher flick about a deranged ice cream man who goes on a murdering rampage after recollecting the horrors of his youth. Other cast members with a passion for indulgence include Judd Nelson and Tom Sizemore.
Director JT Mollner told ultimate horror magazine Fangoria all about it:
“I aim to make this one of the most graphic, controversial, character-driven, sociopolitically aware and visually innovative horror films to date,” he tells us. “I grew up as not just a fan of horror, but the great stylists like Polanski, Truffaut, Fellini, and Scorsese, to name a few, and it's a serious goal of mine to blend high art with horror and give the genre the cinematic respect it deserves. This film is truly brutal; there is some heavy, gritty stuff, and uncomfortable situations that have never been put on film. It's important that we counterbalance that brutality with a beautiful visual style, and level of serious character development and story rarely seen in the genre.
[...]
But we throw all the cliches out the window as the story progresses. These characters make real decisions in frightening and disturbing situations. And nothing—nothing—can prepare you for the end. I can honestly say there are some truly original and daring scenes in this film.”
Producer Nicholas Terry reveals more about Glover's character:
“Our guy is this iconic killer who is somewhat a vigilante,” Terry says. “His psychological problems, which stem from childhood abuse, drastically outweigh the severity of his cosmetic physical ailment. There is actual emotion to the Ice Cream Man; he’s gotten to the point where he just can’t stop anymore. Therefore, there’s a real story to tell in our film. He’s not just killing for the hell of it; he actually has a motive—some reason. There's a method to it all."
I have nightmares already. Bomb-Pops and Chaco-Tacos will never be the same again...
