Official Score = 2 Devils[/caption]The 1990s through the first decade of the new millennium, saw a huge rise in the comedy horror movie market… Especially as it seems with the advent of bad horror/comedies that seem to have at least to some extent centered around Christmas… (I would also say that it is probably safe to say that the advent of these horror movies probably indirectly had something to do with the rise of horror spoofs in the late 90s through to the present…)
A few of these classic examples of course being:
'Tales From The Crypt' did a Christmas Episode that had to do with jolly ole, ‘Santa’ (played by Robert Drake), terrorizing people on Christmas.
Santa’s Slay (2005), a movie that has to do with Santa finally being released from his duty as a beneficent gift giver, to being able to continue on with the mass slaughter that he had started centuries earlier…
And of course there is also Jack Frost (1997)…

This Snowman ain't exactly Frosty![/caption]These are just a few examples of the screwball horror comedies that came out in the 90s and 2000s, that you might call, the, (So bad their awesome horror movies)…
Jack Frost is a great example of this, you see Jack Frost has virtually no-name (yet fantastic) cast which includes Jack MacDonald (Jarhead), Christopher Allport (X-Files), Stephen Mendel (The Terminal), F. William Parker (Hard Eight), Eileen Seeley (Batman Forever), Rob LaBelle (New Nightmare) and Zach Eginton (The Iron Giant).
Now this virtual corny one liner in and of itself told the story of how the county of Snowmonton (Seriously!) Is terrorized one December evening by a Snowman by the name of ‘Jack Frost’ (Scott MacDonald), who has to do a lot worse to the Sheriff he wanted revenge on then just, ‘nipping at his nose’…

This, 'Snowman' has a score to settle with the local sheriff![/caption]You see, Jack Frost as it turns out is a convicted psychotic serial killer who has sworn revenge on the Snowmonton County Sheriff by the name of, Sheriff Sam Tiler (Christopher Allport), who while being transported to the chamber where his death is supposed to take place ends up in an accident with a truck carrying a special chemical, that when it spills all over Jack, ends up actually turning Jack in to the snow!
And so after this, it will be up to the Sheriff’s Dept, a few townsfolk and a government team to try and take down this frosty giant, because this, 'Snow Giant' is certainly not wishing any of these guys a merry Christmas!
Anyway, if you can see the humor in this movie, then you might find that you really enjoy it!
