Anyone else ever see this? It starred Clint Howard as an evil ice cream man, and it was largely boring. The movie is nowhere near as bloody as it needs to be to sell its campy premise, there's only a handful of deaths, and he doesn't even kill any kids. All in all, it seems more like an episode of The Outer Limits than an actual horror movie. Still, it did have the best box art ever:

That covers looks like it could be for the short I'm editing a trailer for (read: eyeballs).

He received the first ever MTV Movie Lifetime Achievement Award. It doesn't get better than that!

first ever?! i think you are mistaken
chewbacca won it the year before and the 3 stooges before that. i think he received the final lifetime achievement award. i could be wrong though.

I actually have this in my Netflix queue. I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it or not. I always figured if I thought of something better, I could always remove it. I like the idea behind the movie. But I wasn't sure if the movie itself was worth a Netflix rental.

The cover art used to freak me out as a kid before I learned Clint Howard is to be pitied not feared.
