Gory Ice Cream Man releases this fall Blu-ray DVD 4K
For horror fans craving a dose of gruesome comedy, the nightmare is arriving, and it’s served with a side of pure, unadulterated gore. Eli Roth is back with Ice Cream Man, a cinematic offering that promises to sweeten the deal with sinister undertones just in time for the Halloween season.
This new project, co-written by Roth and Noah Belson, dives into the seemingly idyllic seaside town of Bayleen Bay. The story centers on a mysterious ice cream vendor whose arrival unleashes chaos, quickly transforming the carefree youngsters of the community into a murderous force. Amidst the carnage, a small group of unaffected children must unravel the sinister truth behind the smiling, unsettling stranger.
Ice Cream Man is more than just a splatter film; it’s a psychological exploration of innocence corrupted, expertly directed by Roth, who is known for crafting intensely visceral genre pieces like Cabin Fever and Hostel. This film marks a fresh, original narrative, avoiding any echoes of previous iterations and focusing instead on a truly unique horror trajectory.
The cast brings a talented ensemble to the unsettling storyline, featuring Ari Millen, Benjamin Byron Davis, Karen Cliche, Dylan Hawco, Sarah Abbott, Shiloh O’Reilly, Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer, Charlie Storey, and Roth himself.
Fans will have ample opportunity to revisit the film through premium physical media releases. The standard Blu-ray and DVD editions will hit shelves on October 20, 2026, with a wider digital release on September 22.
For the true horror collector, the limited 4K UHD & Blu-ray Collector’s Edition SteelBook is slated for release on November 17. This premium package isn’t just about the film; it’s a treasure trove for devotees of the genre, including an exclusive slipcover, collectible art cards, and scratch-and-sniff stickers.
The collector’s edition is packed with bonus content that deepens the lore, featuring commentary from Eli Roth and co-writer Noah Belson, extensive cast and crew interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, Eli Roth’s short films, a trailer gallery, and deep dives into the film’s backstory, including segments on The Ice Cream Truck and Kidpocalypse.
Get ready to dive into the unsettling world of Bayleen Bay. Prepare for a horrifyingly delicious ride this autumn, and ensure you secure your copy of Ice Cream Man before it hits the shelves.
