* InspirationForTheWork: The film was the brainchild of director Michael Cooney and producers Jeremy Paige and Vicki Slotnick, all of whom were close friends. The story goes that Cooney owned a home in the mountains that they'd travel to for skiing, and one year he and Paige made an intentionally evil-looking snowman that was so freaky that Slotnick had trouble sleeping. They took this as inspiration to make a horror movie, but after a few drafts and realizing that it was impossible to play a ''killer snowman'' genuinely straight, they settled on making an intentionally [[BMovie B-grade]] HorrorComedy.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was a third movie planned, tentatively titled ''Jack Frost 3: The Last Coming'', which would have taken place a decade after ''2'', featuring a giant Jack Frost named "Jackzilla" getting loose in a major city. These plans were halted after the tepid response to ''2'' and the death of Christopher Allport in 2008, but [[https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3417866/jack-frost-director-talks-crazy-third-installment-never-jackzilla/ as of 2016]], Michael Cooney still has hopes of making another sequel.
