You know you're in trouble during the seemingly endless, sleep-inducing b/w intro starring a couple of monotone kids prancing around a playground chanting "I Scream. You Scream. We all scream for ice cream..." ad nauseum.
Conrad (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE) Brooks stars as Ricky, overacting owner of a failing ice cream parlor, whose business is revived after he transforms the female employees into the sexy "Scoopettes," dressed in low-cut half-shirts and white miniskirts. The eye-rolling, gum-chewing gals (one in pigtails) take orders and encourage customers to "enjoy every lick" while they sample fine flavors like "horny hazelnut," "virgin vanilla," "orgasmic orange" and "busty buttercrunch". Meanwhile, a killer (with a box over his head) lurks around and kills them off, puts an eyeball in the ice cream and dances around a pole while singing. Some parts of the very cheap shot-on-videotape obscurity are amusing, but it has no gore, no nudity (a real surprise) and is too dark and every other scene seems to be a long montage of the Scoopettes bending over, adjusting their panties and people sticking money, straws, cherries and ice cream cones in their cleavage. Outtakes are shown at the end (Conrad flubbing most of the lines...is he drunk, or what?) and a sequel (ICE SCREAM II: THE SECOND SCOOP) is announced.
