Jack Frost (1997 film)



"Tommy: I said, who's there? [Jack Frost hits Tommy, and enters the house] Jack Frost: Well it ain't fucking Frosty!"

Jack Frost is a Slasher Movie duology about a serial killer who gets mutated into a snowman. Both films are campy direct-to-video efforts, but the first one is better known due to sharing its name with a family film.


 * Attack of the Killer Whatever: Attack of the Mutant Killer Snowman.
 * Black Comedy: The first film's opening narration.
 * Black Comedy Rape: And by a snowman, no less.
 * Blood From the Mouth:
 * Chekhov's Gun:
 * Clueless Deputy: Joe, though none of the police force is particularly competent.
 * Deadpan Snarker: The titular Jack Frost, as well as Chris and Marla.
 * The End - or Is It?: As our heroes bury what's left of Ol' Jack, little do they realize
 * Jerkass: Agent Manners
 * Large Ham/Ham and Cheese: Scott MacDonald as Jack Frost.
 * Lethal Chef:
 * Mad Scientist: Stone, the scientist who created the acid that caused Jack to turn into a snowman in the first place.

 * Twisted Christmas: Suffice it to say, a killer snowman going on a murder spree should put a damper on the holidays.
 * Unexplained Recovery: In the first film, Agent Manners is presumably killed when Jack grows icicle-fangs and tears the agent's face off.

 * Wall-Bang Her: The aforementioned rape scene.
 * Weaksauce Weakness: In the first film, it's quite logically antifreeze; in the sequel, Jack inherits Sam's allergy to bananas due to some of his blood being mixed in after their last encounter.
 * Welcome to the Caribbean, Mon: In the sequel.
 * World of Ham: The sequel.
