‘Jack Frost’ Screening in 35mm for the First Time Ever This December
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.
It was announced two weeks ago that Paramount is resurrecting the Scary Movie spoof franchise with a brand new reboot movie, which will likely arrive in theaters next year.
The new movie, a joint venture between Paramount and Miramax that will technically be the sixth installment in the franchise, is expected to go into production this coming Fall.
We don’t yet know who will be writing, directing or starring in the Scary Movie reboot, but two actors in particular have already expressed an interest in joining the franchise.
The first is Melissa Barrera, who can currently be seen in theaters in Radio Silence’s bloody horror movie Abigail. Barrera is of course also the star of Scream and Scream VI, which kind of makes her a perfect candidate to lampoon herself in a Scary Movie reboot.
“I always loved those movies,” Melissa Barrera tells the website Inverse. “When I saw it announced, I was like, ‘Oh, that would be fun.’ That would be so fun to do.”
The actress adds, “They have the iconic cast that did it, so we’ll see what goes on with that. I’m just excited to see a new one.”
In a tweet posted last night, Bailee Madison (The Strangers: Prey at Night, the upcoming “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School”) also threw her hat in the running.
Madison tweets, “Random but scary movie 6 hit me up cause I just feel like we’d have fun okay bye.” Your move, Paramount. And make sure you call Anna Faris and Regina Hall too.
Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie was released in 2000, just four years after Wes Craven reinvigorated the horror genre with his meta slasher masterpiece, Scream.
The film parodied horror movies of the time including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project, and the horror-comedy spoof scared up $278 million at the worldwide box office. The success of that first Scary Movie paved the way for an entire franchise of horror spoofs, five of them in total released between 2000 and 2013.
