This news will make your snowballs tinge with delight.

Last month we reported that the 1997 killer snowman flick Jack Frost is headed to Blu-ray courtesy of Vinegar Syndrome this coming December 13th, which will be THE perfect holiday gift for everyone on your list who’s all about wonderfully cheesy horror-comedies. But that’s not all. In addition to the film’s Blu-ray debut, a 35mm print is also headed to the big screen!

Just announced, Cinematic Void on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California will present a 35mm screening of Jack Frost for the FIRST TIME EVER, the event taking place on Wednesday, December 21st. Co-presenters include Vinegar Syndrome, Alamo Drafthouse LA, and It Came from the VCR, and director Michael Cooney and star Scott MacDonald will be in attendance.

Props from the film will also be on display at the screening. Check the event page for more info.

What a lovely time to be alive, huh?

In Jack Frost:

On his way to his execution, serial killer Jack Frost’s prison bus crashes into a tankard full of chemicals that mutates him into a giant killer snowman. Now as a super powered psychotic Frosty, Jack goes on a new killing spree in one of the most outrageous holiday horror films from the VCR era.

Do ‘Ready or Not’ and ‘Abigail’ Take Place in the Same Universe? Did You Spot This Connection?

Both extremely bloody cat-and-mouse chases through massive mansions, Radio Silence’s horror movies Ready or Not and Abigail (now playing in theaters!) are certainly cut from the same cloth, but do they actually take place within a shared universe? It was a question the filmmakers were asked, and their response suggests that the answer to that question is YES.

Collider’s Perri Nemiroff asked the question of Radio Silence filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who co-directed both 2019’s Ready or Not and this year’s Abigail. As they point out, an Easter egg nestled within Abigail confirms a shared universe connection.

Bettinelli-Olpin tells Collider, “There is a portrait in the background of one of the scenes [in Abigail] of Henry Czerny’s [character from Ready or Not].” Gillet chimes in to clarify, “It would be a grandfather. A great, great, great, great grandfather [of Czerny’s character].”

Bettinelli-Olpin adds, “There is a little bit of a tied universe to Ready or Not within the movie.”

Actor Henry Czerny played the character Tony Le Domas in Radio Silence’s crowd-pleasing hit Ready or Not, the owner of the Le Domas Gaming Dominion and patriarch of the Le Domas family. The film centers on the Le Domas family’s deal with the devil to build their fortune, which Samara Weaving’s character Grace of course finds herself paying the price for.

If the Le Domas family exists in the world of Abigail, as the aforementioned portrait suggests, then that would indeed indicate that both films exist within the same bloody universe!

And it would seem there’s a deeper connection between the Le Domas family and the Lazar crime family introduced in Abigail. Have fun playing around with that idea. We know you will!

We’ll get you started. Is it possible that Abigail’s father is Mr. Le Bail from Ready or Not…?

In Abigail, “After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.”
