I loved this episode. Spoiler: It's supposed to be silly and a little goofy. You have a clown back from the dead turning people into ice cream. Seriously what are people expecting to happen with a plot like that? This is clearly a throwback to the cheesy horror movies from the 80s like Killer Klowns From Outer Space. Learn to have fun and enjoy things for what they are.
Yes this episode is silly, but honestly the gore is well done watching people slowly melt into ice cream. The acting is great, although the mom's lines are little off. She isn't a bad actress, but the dialogue comes off a little too forced as the "ever supportive wife." The story works for what it is, as you slowly learn through flashbacks why the clown is seeking vengence on the adults. I have to say, this is the first time I actually felt bad for a clown which goes to show how well William Forsythe did as Buster the Clown. I also think it's unqiue to see the Clown never directly confront the adults, but rather use their own kids to kill off his targets. It adds a different level of horror for the characters as they cant trust their own children.
Alll in all, good episode that had me hooked from start to finish.
