Jingle All The Way is my all time favorite Christmas movie. I'll ride this one out for as long as its in.

I had both films on my list and I had to go Frost here. I'm a sucker for those moments that make you wanna cry and losing two family members within a Year I under what that kid was feeling throughout that film. It's a must watch for me every Year.

Never seen Jack Frost but I hate Jingle All The Way SO MUCH that Jack Frost gets my vote. F**k Turboman.

Was hoping that this would be the Jack Frost slasher film tbh

 

[OMB]

Sinbad ftw

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Man that Jack Frost horror movie better be in this.

Man rapes Shannon Elizabeth to death with a carrot.

Beat me to it but I stand by my comment.

Ya know how you read something and it seems a lot more horrific in your mind than it actually is?

That's me reading this.

I aim to provoke.

The scene is more comical than anything and the film only subtly implies the rape when you see the carrot.

It’s just floating in the water afterwards.
