15 Most Unlikely Horror Movie Villains
3. A Snowman – Jack Frost
Not to be confused with the 1998 film of the same name, this Jack Frost is a festive little horror featuring not a snowman possessed by the spirit of a loving father played by Michael Keaton but a snowman possessed by a serial killer (aptly named Jack Frost, funnily enough) who is killed after crashing into a truck carrying ambiguous ‘genetic material’ on the way to his own execution. Oh, the irony.
But as we’re in the realm of unbelievably stupid horror movies, Frost isn’t immediately dragged to hell but fused with the surrounding flakes resulting in a snowman-serial killer hybrid who sets out to terrorise the small, fictional town of Snowmonton – dubbed ‘The Snowman Capital of the World’ – and exact revenge on the sheriff who put him away.
Despite essentially being two balls of compacted snow with coal for eyes and a carrot for a nose, Jack Frost manages to rack up a considerable kill count including beheading a teen with a sledge and offing a woman by strangling her with Christmas lights and stabbing her in the noggin with a star-shaped tree topper.
Until, that is, the idiotic characters in this film finally defeat him with antifreeze. Yes – antifreeze. Which is really something you’d think would occur earlier to characters who live in a place nicknamed ‘The Snowman Capital of the World’.
