Cheap knock-off of Spawn character?


I collect Spawn comics. And there was a cild killer called Billy Cankaid, he was an ice cream man, and he was put into a mental asylum but then realeased and killed another child, before being hunted down and destroyed by Spawn.
Even the "I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice cream" was in the movie.
Is this a cheap knock-off of the character from the comic, or does this have no link. What I've heard about the movie sounds almost exactly like the comic, which is older than the movie anyway. So did the comic influence the movie, or as I said is it a cheap knock-off? Some one please tell me.

Oh my god, my sister used to say that i scream you scream thing, damn her for rippin off spawn. Nah but seriously i'd say its just a coincidence, what with a lot of psycho killers being good candidates for a mental asylum and all

The idea of a killer Ice Cream man who hunts down people has been used way before Spawn and Twisted Metal. It is a very common horror story parents use to scare kids about not talking wit hstrangers and such
