Jack Frost (1997)

Directed by Michael Cooney. Starring Scott McDonald, Christopher Allport, Shannon Elizabeth, Stephen Mendel, Marsha Clark, Eileen Seeley, Chip Heller, and Richard Whitten.

The movie takes place in the fictional town of Snowmonton, where on the week before Christmas a truck transporting serial killer Jack Frost (MacDonald) to his execution crashes into a genetics truck. The genetic material causes Jack to mutate and fuse together with the snow on the ground. Jack is presumed dead and his body melts away. However, he comes back as a killer snowman and takes revenge on the man who finally caught him, Sheriff Sam Tiler (Allport).

A sequel, Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman, was released in 2000. A third installment was planned with the tentative title of Jack Frost 3: The Last Coming, but the third installment being made is unlikely due to Allport's death in 2008.
