On this Horror Holiday themed episode we are talking Jack Frost (1996). A low-budget holiday horror comedy that turns festive cheer on its head with a serial killer who comes back as a murderous snowman after a freak accident. Mixing slasher tropes with absurd humor and intentionally cheesy effects, the film has become a cult favorite for fans who enjoy their Christmas movies strange, campy, and a little unhinged.Join us on Patreon for some extra scary fun! patreon.com/BillandAshTerrorTheater@BATTpod on twitterBillBria@billbriahttps://crookedmarquee.com/author/bill-bria/https://www.slashfilm.com/author/billbria/https://billbria.contently.com/billandashterrortheater@gmail.combillandashterrortheater@instagram.com Ashley@AshleyannCoffin https://www.instagram.com/electrical_ash/You can find more from us and our other shows at https://www.strandedpanda.com/

A serial killer collides with a chemical spill, reforms as a wisecracking snowman, and turns a quiet town into a slushy crime scene. That's the outrageous hook behind Jack Frost (1997), a holiday horror curiosity that splits our panel right down the middle. We dig into what makes camp work—resourceful effects, punchy pacing, and knowingly silly kills—and where this movie fumbles, from cotton-ball snow and wobbly camera setups to a bathtub sequence that crosses a line and derails the fun.We start with expectations and tone. If you press play for so-bad-it's-good energy, you'll find moments worth cheering: the fast, grisly chemical dissolve; the axe handle lodged down a throat; and the anti-freeze solution that leads to a memorable final toss. The slowed-down Christmas carols add a smart, eerie vibe without shouting. But the editing and continuity strain the illusion, and the script leans on puns that yo-yo between grin and groan. We unpack how budget constraints can breed creative kills while also spotlighting choices that feel lazy rather than playful.Then we ask the tougher question: when does camp turn cruel? The infamous bathroom death reframes earlier innuendo as something mean-spirited, and we call out why that matters. Horror can provoke; good satire can bite. But shock without purpose breaks the pact with the audience. By comparing Jack Frost to small-town terror done right—Gremlins for mischievous chaos, The Blob for mounting dread—we map the line between joyous mayhem and tasteless spectacle.If you're building a holiday horror marathon, we'll help you decide where this one fits. Come for the laughs, stay for the craft breakdown, and hear why our ratings range from “never again” to “party watch with drinks.” Enjoy the ride, then tell us: camp classic or coal in the stocking?

Ho ho ho! HO HO HO YET AGAIN! This time the Kaiju Hollywood Bad Boys Martin, Brandon and Luke are back for more Jack to talk about the black horror comedy Jack Frost (1997) with special guest and Anime Sicko Tom Harrison. Highlights include shatting the shelf, dissecting the worst one liners we've ever heard and bathing in antifreeze (bad, in theory). Thank you, Tascam!

Here's an older episode of Movie Dumpster I was on. I loved their review for the first Jack Frost horror film so much I demanded they do a review for the sequel which I think is pretty damn good! Listen and enjoy and make sure to follow Movie Dumpster! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2cUgb8gDU0

Rankin-Bass does it again! And by "it" we mean makes a stop-motion holiday special that no one asked for featuring a celebrity narrator, a weird dictator, and characters with anachronistic 1970s hair styles.

Rankin/Bass Assemble! The conclusion of at least three trilogies at the same time (Rudolph, Frosty, Mickey Rooney's Santa Claus, and possibly Jack Frost), Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July (1979) is in many ways the Endgame of the Rankin/Bass multiverse.In it, we see the Cosmic Forces at play in Rudolph's origin story and how this lynchpin of the multiverse must go to war to reclaim his hero status (and save a cowgirl's circus)! We also see Old Man Frosty willing to give up his humanity to save his friend.

Just when you thought you had meditated enough on the true meaning of Christmas, Santa's favorite aged former elf reminds you that you still have so much to learn. Hank returns in the sequel to the popular, at least to us, HANK'S CHRISTMAS WISH, directed by West Virginia film icon Jason Campbell, bringing back many of the familiar faces from the first film for another round of holiday magic. Remember Tippee and Toes, the elves? No? You don't? Well, too bad, because they're back. Bella has been recast and is largely absent, as she and her husband Kevin are away on a mission trip to Africa, but her brother Liam is still working in Hank's independently contracted toy workshop. Mayor Dean, played by actor and ICE agent Dean Cain, continues his agreeable stewardship of the town's Christmas festivities. Now openly known as a real elf and former custodian of Santa, Hank has more influence than before and uses it to push for a town production of The Nutcracker, choreographed by local dance teacher Heather. Mayor Dean quickly agrees, motivated by the fact that Heather is single and he is looking for love. The holiday peace is disrupted by Frosty, a Christmas comedian hired by the town council whose jealousy over The Nutcracker leads him to spread the common cold throughout the town. Frosty is revealed to be the son of Jack Frost, a former North Pole intern alienated by the elves, a grudge he still holds. It's a creative and contemporary take on familiar Christmas cultural tropes, and Jason Campbell succeeds at what seems to be his goal of making a family-friendly Christmas film that pays lip service to Jesus without hitting you over the head with religious themes, allowing you to relax and enjoy your hot cocoa. It's honestly refreshing that the film isn't so serious, though its greatest flaw may be its characterization of Frosty, who is a genuinely annoying screen presence largely because his entire thing is being the brunt of fat jokes. Lesson learned: never hire a Christmas comedian to do an elf's job!

Hello All, We had to pivot into what was supposed to be Movie #3 this month due to a technical issue with the Jack Frost recordings. (It may or may not be next week's episode, but we'll have to dig into things a bit more before we know if it's usuable.) But, today, it's The Naughty List of Mr. Scrooge! From IMDB: Former college friends reunite 10 years after a tragedy during a production of A Christmas Carol. Gathering at a winter chalet, they are stalked and killed one by one by someone dressed as a terrifying Ebenezer Scrooge.

This week on we're embracing the holiday spirit with a musical twist as we dive into the 2022 modern holiday spectacular, Spirited! We'll talk about Ryan Reynolds as the sardonic yet well-meaning Ghost of Christmas Present and Will Ferrell as the target of his annual redemption effort, Clint Briggs. We'll discuss the catchy original songs, the hilarious spin on the classic Dickens tale, and the unexpected heart that makes this film a new Christmas favorite.To warm us up while we ride along on this ghost-guided journey, we're mixing up a wintery twist on a classic: the Jack Frost Old Fashioned. This cocktail takes the warming base of Bourbon or Rye Whiskey and infuses it with seasonal spices like Cinnamon , using a dash of Maple Syrup instead of plain sugar. It's a comforting and cozy drink that's perfect for settling in to watch a holiday musical.So, put on your dancing shoes, light the fire, and get ready to raise a glass to Spirited!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drinkthemovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Please Drink Responsibly*

Welcome back to the holiday season at the Video Store Podcast. I'm back today with another edition of Rankin/Bass B-Sides. I love Rankin/Bass so much, and they're part of just about every holiday season for me. Here are four more lesser-known Rankin/Bass B-Sides for you to enjoy this holiday season. And bonus! If you missed it last year, go back and check out my original edition of “Rankin/Bass B-Sides.”Cricket on the Hearth (1967)Starring Danny and Marlo Thomas as father/daughter duo Caleb and Bertha, this is a heartwarming adaptation of a lesser-known Charles Dickens Christmas classic.

It's SNOWING out here in FREAKQUELVILLE, so EJ and Rory have invited David Gonzalez and Greg Caldwell to help build an evil snowman! Why an evil snowman? Because shut up, that's why! Anywho, after the completion of their abomination, the gang pops on the straight to video wonder “JACK FROST” to give their murderous snowman some pointers. If there's anything more merry than a bloodthirsty snowman than I don't want to know about it! 

While Christmas is typically the time to snuggle up with friends and family to watch beloved the same corny, nostalgic favorites we return to every year, for filmmakers the holiday season is a surprisingly fertile ground for a very different form of entertainment: horror films. There are literally dozen of Christmas horror films currently in existence, and seemingly more every year. They use the Christmas festivities as a counterpoint for the bloody work of serial killers, monsters, or legendary figures from folklore. Forget Season's Greetings and a Cup of Good Cheer; for these movies, it's all about Season's Beatings and a Cup of Good FEAR. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate for a very different holiday special as it explores the Best Holiday Horror Films.Movies discussed: Black Christmas (1974); Silent Night, Deadly Night; Rare Exports; Silent Night (2021); Violent Night; Christmas, Bloody Christmas; Terrifier 3; Better Watch Out; Gremlins; P2; Jack Frost (1997); Black Christmas (2006); Krampus; It's a Wonderful Knife; A Christmas Horror Story; Anna and the ApocalypseJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Karissa Kloss, Michael Schwarz, and Zack Derby as they discuss and debate 16 brutal holiday horror films.

Send us a textIt's the second part of our HUGmas season of alternative Christmas movie podcasts, and this week, Liam and Rob are going full Tubi and looking back at 1997's, Jack Frost. No, not the one with Michael Keaton and a magical harmonica, the one released a year earlier with a homicidal snowman and enough ice related murder puns to make Arnold Schwarzenegger blush. Is it good? Well, objectively, no it is not......is it fun though? Oh, and is that Shannon Elizabeth having a bath for no reason whatsoever? Yeah, it's that kind of movie. Listen in via the link in the bio and see if this b-movie Christmas horror is worth a watch this holiday season.

In this episode of Cult of the Living Dead, we step into the icy nightmare of Jack Frost, where a small town is terrorized by a killer who returns in the most unlikely form: a sentient snowman born from a chemical accident. The Dale, Cea, and Twan break down how the film blends slasher tropes with dark humor, and why its low-budget absurdity somehow works better than it should. We dig into the film's tone, the surprisingly good practical effects, and how its commitment to the bit turns a throwaway premise into a minor cult fixture. We ask whether Jack Frost is a scrappy winter horror must-watch, a so-bad-it's-good slasher, or simply a strange cinematic artifact that refuses to melt away.

Send us a textTwo drinks in, zero pretense, and a sleigh full of hot takes. We crack open Disney's Santa Clause trilogy with a Jolly Holly in hand and ask the only question that matters on a cozy movie night: what still feels like Christmas and what just feels loud?We start by deconstructing the Be Our Guest Jolly Holly—vanilla vodka, dark rum, butterscotch, apple cider—and troubleshoot the flavor until it actually tastes like December. From there, we track how a perfect premise in 1994 turned into a broader sitcom romp in Part Two and a glossy, time-twisting spectacle in Part Three. The core throughline still works: Tim Allen's gruff charm, Charlie's unwavering belief, and a North Pole that, at its best, feels lived-in rather than plastic. We dig into what the movies added to holiday lore—the council of Mother Nature, Tooth Fairy, Sandman, Father Time, Cupid, Easter Bunny, and Jack Frost—and why small character choices (Bernard's clipped authority, Judy's cocoa wisdom, Neil's deadpan evolution) make these films rewatchable.Not everything lands. The second film's angst and toy-factory coup wobble, and the third turns sparkle up to eleven without the heart to match, even with Martin Short chewing frozen scenery. Still, we find bright spots, including Lucy's sweetness and a few well-placed gags about contracts, HR, and the hazards of magical fine print. We even wander into park talk: for a studio that loves seasonal overlays, why isn't this franchise celebrated at Christmas? Picture a Judy-approved cocoa stand, a “Santa clause” contract gag wall, or a quick-hit workshop walkthrough that turns nostalgia into a warm, shareable moment.Grab your mug and queue the first film; keep the second for myth-building fun; let the third play while you wrap gifts. If you enjoy the ride, subscribe, leave a quick review, and tell us your trilogy ranking and your pick for best elf. Your turn: classic, guilty pleasure, or background noise?

One of North Dakota's most striking beauties has to be frost, the glistening white that covers tree branches, power lines, street signs, even blades of grass. It would take a lifetime to paint even one acre of trees all white, but Jack Frost does it overnight.
