Screams Ice Cream

except for l think l saw my ladder hanging inside up on their ceiling and am wondering if/when l'll ever get it back...
they could have just asked instead of taking from my yard

If I could I would give it 666 stars. The definition of a tourist trap but hell, naming this town Hell was just so it could be a tourist trap. We didn't have any ice cream but bought some kitschy souvenirs since the place is stocked floor to ceiling with them. I bought a black demonic rubber ducky and a postcard the cashier cheerfully charred with a lighter for me after asking ever so politely if I wanted it singed. Then she put it in a little plastic biohazard bag for me. I forget what gimmicks my friends bought but they got plenty, lots of cheap little tchotchkes if you don't wanna shell out for a hoodie or something, too.
Honestly, just the way the older Asian lady greeted us with a chipper "Welcome to Hell" was worth five stars alone.
There's lots of goofy and ghoulish photo opps outside to prove you've been to Hell, too. I don't know if mini golf is up and running. There was nothing doing there on a rainy Halloween in 2022, though I think they said they had 3 weddings scheduled for that day. I think it was the Addams, the Munsters and oh I don't know, the Todds, the Mansons?
I don't know if I'll be back but I have been to Hell and back ... on Halloween no less.

What a scream!! Hell of a good time. I purchased a St Practice Day shirt!! You have to take the time to listen to the history of how this all came about. HINT: Thanks to a veteran from Vietnam. Don't want to spoil the story. We purchased some hellacious things from the store. Be sure to check out their Facebook page for special events.

This place was a scream!!! No, we didn't get the ice cream but it is filled with a heel of a lot of souvenirs! Picked up a key chain or two but here's the best part. Buy postcards, get a stamp on them and they will post mark them from Hell. Then they take a lighter, set the bottom on fire to char it and there will be carbon tracking (smoke stains) on the back. What a hoot!!! Great service, really nice people. Worth the visit.On the side of Screams toward

This is an amusing spot to get ice cream, stating it mildly. If you don't like puns, it reads of suitable punishment. While, like most places at this time during the pandemic, they are short staffed, the person who was working there was amazing army managing a crowd with her time split over several functions, including the ice cream counter, a shop, and mini golf. There was a limited selection of ice cream flavors, but many special ones for those who like exotics. Business was enough that the ice cream was very fresh. They have really neat plastic protectors to control drips on your hands, and use spoons that change color with temperature. The banana split is presented in a small black plastic coffin with a shovel for a spoon. The waffle cones are baked fresh and only cost a $1. All in all, this is a fun experience.

T-shirts, Mugs, bumper stickers, evil rubber ducks and much much more. You can also buy a bat out of hell. They have the Crematorium ( Ice cream ) we were going to get ice cream after pizza at The Hell Hole but for some reason they closed 30 min early. I guess we already spent enough on t-shirts. But sadly the T shirt I really wanted they were out of. The Pride shirt that said "everyone is welcome in hell". Seriously one of the main attractions to go to this Hell , Hole in the wall, out of the way, way off the beaten path place.

Always fun to stop here. The gift shop is a lot of fun, so many things to pick from. The ice cream is great, too! And, they have a stretch penny machine! It's in the middle of nowhere to get there, so we plan our trip on the way between cities.

Lovely little place with lovely people ! The Staff was very friendly and funny, yelling out "Hell themed" jokes

Nice little gift shop with nice ice-cream collection. They tons of souvenirs including shot glasses , hats, hoodies , tees and many more. There are so many funny memes on items referring to "Hell ". Everything is the store had "Hell" theme. They even sell "Hell soil in a bottle" for 3$.

Would definitely recommend a trip to this store.

DO NOT forget to visit behind the store where there is Little bridge of "locks of Love." There is also a little chapel with like 8 seats where you can get married. :)

We even bought a little skull mold ice cube tray.

Overall a really fun place !! Totally worth a stop !

I went here yesterday to check it out and it was pretty fun. The staff in the store are helpful and friendly even offering water to us as it was near 90 when we arrived. Everything in the store goes along with the theme and I was there when the mayor of the day got his proclamation and welcomed a tour group. You can send yourselves postcards back to be postmarked and burned so don't forget that. The staff will show you what it looks like. Also can't miss is the ice cream with the clever names for the "droppings" all for $1. I had salted caramel and my son had chocolate both delicious.

This spot is a bit of a wide spot in the road but....

It's a really fun place to spend a bit of time. If you're one of those folks like me who loves Halloween year round? Take the time to pop in here.
The ice cream is really good- may I advise buying a handful of post cards, then going to the diner next door, writing them and then bringing them back to Screams where they'll singe them to give that authentic "to hell and back" look.

We didn't use the putt putt course because it was the first of October and cold. Maybe next time? I'd love to come back when it was warmer.
