Jack Frost is a 1998 Christmas film, starring Michael Keaton and Kelly Preston about a father that dies and comes back as a snowman. Three of Frank Zappa's four children: Dweezil Zappa, Ahmet Zappa, and Moon Unit Zappa, appear in the film.
Jack Frost is an American horror/comedy film written and directed by Michael Cooney and released in 1996. The movie takes place in the fictional town of Snowmonton, where (on the week before Christmas) the truck carrying serial killer Jack Frost (Scott MacDonald) to his execution is involved in a freak accident with a truck carrying genetic material. Although Jack Frost escapes, the genetic material causes his body to fuse with the snow on the ground, mutating Jack into a killer snowman. With his body now as icy as his heart, Jack Frost seeks revenge on the citizens of Snowmonton and on the man who finally caught him, Sheriff Sam Tiler (Chris Allport).
The film gained fame as an Internet meme thanks to its low budget special effects, comical death sequences, poor (but unintentionally funny) acting performances, and the fact that it was released within two years of a completely unrelated family film of the same name also featuring the concept of a living snowman. Jack Frost has become known as a b-movie cult classic. In addition, the film is also known for being the first movie featuring actress Shannon Elizabeth (credited as Shannon Elizabeth Fadal), who plays a minor role in the movie. Four years later, the film would spawn a sequel, Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman.
Jack Frost, directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin, Jr. and written by Romeo Muller, premiered December 13 1979. This stop motion animated special tells the tale of Jack Frost, the winter sprite, and his adventures as a human. This special airs annually on the ABC Family cable network.
