Eli Roth’s ‘Ice Cream Man’ Brings the Kidpocalypse Home This September

The ice cream truck is coming home.

Eli Roth’s new horror-comedy Ice Cream Man will be available to buy or rent on Digital beginning September 22, 2026, complete with a handful of bonus features that dig into the film’s killer kids, gruesome effects, and nightmare ice cream truck.

In the film, “a mysterious ice cream man rolls into an idyllic town serving kids sweet treats that trigger a strange and deadly madness. Soon, the kids embark on an increasingly unhinged kill spree, sending the town spiraling into chaos and revealing something far darker beneath the surface.”

The cast includes Ari Millen, Charlie Zeltzer, Shiloh O’Reilly, Kiori Mirza Waldman, Sarah Abbott, Benjamin Byron Davis, Eli Roth, Karen Cliche, Dylan Hawco, and Charlie Storey.

The Digital release will also include the following bonus features:

• “Ice Cream Man: The Backstory” — Discover the unlikely road to getting the film made and the classic horror inspirations behind the madness.
• “The Ice Cream Truck” — Take a closer look at the film’s nightmare on wheels, complete with bug-flavored treats, its suspiciously cheerful mascot, and that creepy jingle.
• “Kidpocalypse” — Go behind the scenes of the film’s gloriously gruesome killer-kid mayhem and practical effects.
• Audio Commentary — Featuring director/co-writer Eli Roth and co-writer Noah Belson.

Here’s the trailer.
