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.
