10 Embarrassingly Poor Horror Movie Monsters

6. Jack Frost

It would be unnecessarily humourless to completely write off 1997's Jack Frost just because it's a bit on the daft side. It's a scrappy low-budget effort with plenty of attitude and lots of silly laughs, and it has a great fun Christmas-themed rock and metal soundtrack.

Okay, those are the good bits. Throat cleared.

Killers who won't stay dead are an immortal (sorry) horror staple. But of all the ways that serial killers can torment their victims from beyond the grave, a murderer who fuses with snow at the genetic level and becomes a shapeshifting, psychopathic snowman might just be the rock bottom worst.

But even the silliest ideas can work if they're well executed. And there's something to be said for the DIY aesthetic of low-fi practical effects. But come on. In some scenes you can as good as see the trolley that piece of crap is being wheeled around on.

No, thank you.
