흥미로운 사실

Jack Frost is a 1997 American direct-to-video black comedy slasher film written and directed by Michael Cooney. It stars Scott MacDonald and Christopher Allport.

Production

Writer Michael Cooney first got the idea for Jack Frost's story in 1989. Cooney, along with co-writer Jeremy Paige and producer Vicki Slotnick, stayed in a cabin one time up in Big Bear Lake. They built a snowman in the backyard, which Slotnick found creepy at night as it was outside her window, leaving her unable to sleep. Shortly after Cooney and Paige started talking about making a film about a killer snowman.

In 1992, Prism Entertainment asked Paige and Slotnick if they could do the film for under a million dollars. Since they could not afford a director, Slotnick suggested that Cooney direct the film. Their script was full of special effects that were unable to be achieved on the film's extremely low budget, for which they had to improve the script. During pre-production, they still thought that they could make "quite a nasty horror movie".

Cooney, Paige and Slotnick (along with Lisa Bankert) cast Christopher Allport in the lead role as Sam Tiler. Other actors and actresses cast for the film included Shannon Elizabeth in her screen debut as Jill Metzner, Stephen Mendel as Agent Manners, F. William Parker as Paul Davrow, Eileen Seeley as Anne Tiler, Darren O. Campbell as Tommy Davrow, and Scott MacDonald as Jack Frost.

Prism was set to finance the film, but went bankrupt three weeks before principal photography began, leaving its banker, Lou Horowitz, to oversee the film. The film was shot on short ends (100-300-foot leftovers of 1,000-foot rolls that major film producers discard) in January 1994 over a course of 18 days. Portions of the film were filmed at the Fawn Lodge in Fawnskin, California, on the north west shore of Big Bear Lake.

The bathtub scene was intended to have Jack Frost smashing Jill into the wall until she died. It was filmed on a soundstage in one day toward the end of shooting, with the bathtub built on a raised set. For the shot where Jack rises out of the tub, a stunt performer (in the snowman costume) and Shannon Elizabeth were strapped together on a scissor lift that raised them up 12 feet in the air through the fake tub.
