What a fantastic hidden gem in West Virginia! I stumbled upon this place on Maps when looking for cool spooky stuff to see around the country and made a point to stop on the way to Asheville from Point Pleasant (visiting from the Pacific Northwest). I had the privilege of meeting the owner, who explained she used to run a haunted house— no wonder the vibe/decor is so well done! I had a lot of fun just exploring the place and taking pictures (don’t miss the black light bathroom!). It’s really an experience, not just an ice cream shop. Anyone with even a remote interest in horror and/or ice cream should add this to their bucket list. I had to get the What We Do In The Shadows, especially for the cute little trinkets on it! Mine was delicious, the strawberry blood on the outside was the perfect touch. I normally wouldn’t have been able to finish the whole thing by myself, but somehow I managed. Definitely come here on an empty stomach or willing to share. This ended up being my favorite stop on a 2 week road trip to see 9 states for the first time. I plan to return someday and get something different each time! Such a fun experience!

I Scream Sundae is a fun ice cream shop that's just a short drive off the Ripley interstate exit. When pulling up to the restaurant, it wasn't immediately clear where the parking was, but we did end up finding it (if you're staring at the front of the restaurant, you can either park to the right of it or up behind the building). Along with indoor seating, I Scream Sundae also has tables & chairs set up outside for customers. The inside of the restaurant isn't huge, but it's still pretty cool. It features a "Spider Egg Bar" (boba/bubble tea), a wall of pictures showcasing what their ice cream creations look like, and a neat display of bottled pop available for purchase. Their decor is Halloween/spooky/horror movie themed and all of their ice cream offerings are very on-brand for that. Since we were getting our ice cream to-go, I opted for the Black Cherry "scream" (ice cream) milkshake and it was delicious. The prices seemed reasonable for what you were getting. Besides the good ice cream, the customer service was also great! Just moments after we walked in, a sweet woman came right over to greet us. Since we had never been there before, she took her time to explain the menu & directed us where to order when we were ready. I would definitely recommend everyone check out I Scream Sundae at least once! If you're a fan of scary or spooky movies, you'll especially enjoy the fun vibes of this place.

The whole place has a horror theme that is well done and looks great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The milk shakes are great looking and tasting as well. This is a great place to stop by if you want a treat. I have returned a year later and this place is just as great as it was a year ago. Different staff than what I remember, but they were just as friendly and helpful. I will definitely return here if and when I return to the area.
