Eli Roth, the acclaimed filmmaker, has shared the unsettling origin story behind his latest horror project, "Ice Cream Man." The initial spark for the film came to Roth years ago upon hearing the ubiquitous melody of an ice cream truck.

He envisioned the driver of such a vehicle as a sinister, serial killer figure, planting the seeds for a terrifying narrative. The concept lay dormant until Roth became a father.
