The horror fantasy comic Ice Cream Man, from creator W. Maxwell Prince, is being adapted for TV at the short-form streaming platform Quibi. Adam and Max Reid (Sneaky Pete) are set to write the series, and will also serve as executive producers.
Deadline gives us the following synopsis:
Ice Cream Man is an anthology series narrated by the titular Ice Cream Man. Weaving a dark tapestry of tales from his truck, the Ice Cream Man serves up scoops of pain and suffering to the inhabitants of one suburb town for his own malevolent amusement. The new series will dive deep into the suburban American psyche with stories that are timeless yet current, relatable yet strange, equal parts terrifying and ironic, and always end with a macabre twist.
This sounds super creepy! I don’t delve into horror too much, so I don’t know if I could handle this one, but I’m sure it will appeal to fans of the comic. Does it sound like a series you’ll want to check out?
