Ice Cream Man, The

In the guise of a man selling ice cream, this is a mortal agent of good responsible for capturing demonic children to help diminish the unchecked growth of evil in the world. To lure his prey, the Ice Cream Man plays the Devil's Chord, which is a series of notes that when sounded together specifically attract demon kids, all but unthinkably like moths to a flame. Once lured, the Ice Cream Man then sucks the demon youngsters inside the vehicle and through a dimensional gateway, where the children find themselves on a magical playground, and trapped in that world, the young demons must face ultimately The Nothing, which periodically appears making their eventual capture numerically certain.

In the Charmed season 3 episode, "We All Scream for Ice Cream", lead characters Prue and Phoebe are catapulted into a nightmarish alternate dimension by interfering with the operations of a seemingly evil ice cream man. Consequently, the girls mistakenly help demons and endanger an innocent. They must return to reality to enlist the help of Piper and reconnect with their estranged father, who surprisingly had useful prior experience with the dimension to undo their fatal mistake.
