24 Days of HorrorXmas- Jack Frost (1997)

I will be posting Christmas themed horror films over the next 24 days, for the fourteenth night I am listing the 1997 horror comedy Jack Frost.



Jack Frost (1997)
Dir- Michael Cooney

With so many Christmas horror movies focusing on a killer Santa Claus it would take some truly creative thinking to come up with a new villain that has not been put to screen. Jack Frost is a 1997 horror movie that has a small town Sheriff having to search for a killer who is making his way through town seeking revenge against him and his family. What makes this villain different is that he was killed in an accident at the beginning of the movie and his body was doused in a chemical that turns him into a snowman. In what has to be one of the most absurd horror movie villains Jack Frost is a horror comedy that has become a cult classic with the creative ways Jack kills his victims and his amusing wisecracks. The movie is completely bonkers with the whole idea of a killer snowman but it does have its moments, and the film has even spawned a sequel. Shannon Elizabeth appears in this movie and has a truly memorable encounter with Jack that gives one of the best one-liners in the film.
