Brain Freeze is described as a \u201cplayful nod to classic bubblegum ice cream with a delightfully twisted twist.\u201d In this case, that twist is swirls of house-made strawberry jam. The company says the flavor is \u201cequal parts nostalgic, colorful, and deliciously creepy.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSome creameries might not want to be associated with a film with such a high body count. But in a statement, Sean Vahey, co-founder of Humphry Slocombe says, \u201cWe love creating ice cream that surprises people. When \u2018Ice Cream Man\u2019 came along, we couldn\u2019t resist making something that\u2019s just the right amount of delicious and unsettling. Brain Freeze looks and tastes incredible, and is guaranteed to be the most fun you\u2019ll have screaming for ice cream this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s been a pleasure to work with Sean and his amazing team, combining two of my deepest passions: horror films and ice cream.\u201d said Roth. \u201cWe wanted to create a flavor both sublime and scoopable, but also gruesome and gory. No matter what I suggested, their appetite for the red stuff not only matched mine but went above and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBrain Freeze will be available throughout the month of August at all eight Humphry Slocombe Bay Area scoop shops. It can also be ordered for nationwide delivery through Goldbelly.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-variety-2020\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/4L3A6240.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Humphry Slocombe, a San Francisco-based ice cream company, will team with Eli Roth to help promote his new&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":529297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[7391,156,90581,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-529296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-eli-roth","tag-entertainment","tag-ice-cream-man","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=529296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/529297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=529296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=529296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=529296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
