The serial killer ends up drenched in an experimental substance that kills and liquifies him, but then — ah, winter magic — helps him to become one with the snow.

Time then jumps forward a year because no audience wants to watch a child cry grief tears for an hour and a half. One night, Charlie builds a snowman that is suddenly, inexplicably occupied by the spirit of his dead father. At first, Charlie is rightly horrified. But then Jack helps Charlie in — what else? — a snowball fight, so they start hanging out all the time. The movie is preposterous and in poor taste and yet somehow still incredibly dull.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of those descriptors also apply to the 1997 \u003cem>Jack Frost\u003c/em>, though for entirely different reasons. In this one, a prison truck carrying a serial killer through a snowstorm to his execution collides with a genetic research truck. The serial killer ends up drenched in an experimental substance that kills and liquifies him, but then — ah, winter magic — helps him to become one with the snow. Jack Frost the serial killer transforms into Jack Frost the snowman … and also serial killer. This snowman serial killer has the puffiest little mitten hands you’ve ever seen, too, which is incredibly distracting during every single murder scene that follows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13939159\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1888px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13939159\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-08-at-4.53.03-PM.png\" alt=\"A snowman with twig eyebrows and icicle fangs interacts with a human.\" width=\"1888\" height=\"1262\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-08-at-4.53.03-PM.png 1888w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-08-at-4.53.03-PM-800x535.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-08-at-4.53.03-PM-1020x682.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-08-at-4.53.03-PM-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-08-at-4.53.03-PM-768x513.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-08-at-4.53.03-PM-1536x1027.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1888px) 100vw, 1888px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">When your snowman is possessed by a serial killer, it needs twig eyebrows in order to convey its menacing soul. \u003ccite>(Prism Pictures)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The one good thing I will say for this trashiest of horror movies is that at least I got a couple of laughs out of it — one of which I’m fairly sure was intentional!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13889748","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>There’s no making sense of the fact that these two movies were made in such close proximity, with the same central theme, but for entirely different audiences.

Contemplating the elephants or giraffes at the Oakland Zoo is a favorite pastime of many toddlers I know, as is riding the train in Adventure Landing, the amusement park portion of the zoo.

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfzoo.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Zoo\u003c/a> has no elephants, but it does have giraffes and rhinos.
