Creepiest Ice Cream Truck Ever

By Tim Odell Oct 30, 2009

True story: when The_Missus was young, her parents told her that whenever the ice cream truck was playing music, that meant they were out of ice cream.

That may be mildly evil, but not as bad as this ice cream truck. Not only is it just a typical conversion van with a couple of magnets stuck on, it’s got a sountrack straight out of our worst nightmares. Remember kids: the secret ingredient is THE DEVIL.

  1. The last neighborhood that we lived in the ice cream van was pretty scary too. It was an old 70s/80s Chevy G-10 that looked like it had been painted purple with a brush. The driver, if he wasn't on the sex offender register, he sure looked like he belonged there. My wife was terrified of the guys.

  2. Around here, the trucks themselves are far creepier- typically clapped-out late '80s/early '90s FedEx-style trucks, rusty in all the wrong places and with an engine note that sounds like someone pushed Neil Peart down a spiral staircase. The drivers all seem to be Eastern European immigrants who materialize out of nowhere in May and are nowhere to be found come October. The music, though, isn't so much creepy as hellishly annoying- usually a vaguely hip-hopped ripoff of various nursery rhymes, so I think I'd actually prefer this level of creepery for a change.
    I just realized that I've given way too much thought to ice cream trucks. I need to take a shower. With Napalm.

  3. The Worst Ice Cream Van Jingle ever. Makes you wonder about the people who drive these. Who in their right mind could listen to this day in and day out and retain a shred of sanity? It would be like Chinese water torture. And, what do they do the rest of the year when they're not selling ice cream?
    I'm old enough to remember the custom Good Humor trucks. Late 60's Ford F100's with no doors and a freezer body on the back. Spotless white paint. The guy had like reindeer bells he'd ring with a pull string. Sounded cheerful. That was a class act.
    The decline and fall of Western Civilization using the ice cream truck as evidence.

    1. We have ice cream trucks year round in LA.
      They tend to congregate in low-rent neighborhoods…like the one I live in.
