Winter is coming

There's condensation on youꦑr windows and ice on your windscreen: yup, its definitely winter again now. The cold can be more than just an inconvenience, though﷽. It can be a killer.

In some horror movies, extreme temperatu🌃res are as deadly as any monster. If you're stuck in the middle of a snowstorm, after all, it's a lot harder to run away from the man with the knife. And if you're working at an isolated research centre in the Arctic, you're seriously out of luck when something goes wrong.

These movies all pack plenty of ice, snow, and mortal periꦚl. He🌜re are 20 horror movies guaranteed to give you chills...

Wind Chill (2007)

Baby, it's cold outside: A female student (Emily Blunt) arranges to share a ride home for Christmas with a fellow student, but probably should have vetted her driver more thoroughly, since he turns out to be a creep. And then he crashes the car in a snow drift 🌠on a haunted road. It probably would've been easier to just take the bus, all things considered.

Chill factor: 7/10

Being haunt🌊ed by a corrupt cop is enough to give anyone goosebumps, but it's also about 30 degrees below zero.

The Invisible Man (1933)

Baby, it's cold outside: Dr Griffin (Claude Rains) has found a way to become invisible, but unfortunately that way also involves going ins🔥ane and murdering lots oꦅf people. Being invisible obviously makes him difficult to catch, but when he's driven out into the snow, the townspeople catch him by following his footsteps.

Chill factor: 7/10

Since Griffin couldn't make his c🥀lothes invisible, he had to wander around naked in the snow. Makes your feet hurt just to think about, doesn't it?

Troll Hunter (2010)

Baby, it's cold outside: A group of documentary makers heads out to the woods in Norway, hoping to catch a bear poacher. What they actually find, in amongst all the trees and snow, is a lot scarie꧙r and much fonder of billy goats gruff.

Chill factor: 8/10

Troll Hunter is a comedy horror, b𒐪ut the trolls are still deadly, and so is the cold.

The Thaw (2009)

Baby, it's cold outside: Researchers in the Arctic disco♏ver the long-frozen remains of a woolly mamm𝓡oth when global warming causes the poles to melt, and soon a terrifying new pestilence is killing them all off. Despite the title, the Arctic is still pretty damned cold.

Chill factor: 8/10

If the idea of a 🔯prehistoric bug infestation doesn't give you the shivers, the realisation that climate change is real and awful should do.

Jack Frost (1997)

Baby, it's cold outside: Not to be confused with the fluffy Michael Keaton movie of the same title, this Jack Frost features a murderous🦩 snowman. No, really. A serial killer improbably named Mr Frost (Scott MacDonald) gets doused with toxic was🎃te and melds with the snow, becoming one of literally (if not figuratively) the coolest killers ever.

Chill factor: 8/10

The idea of a killer snowman is pretty ridiculous, but maybe give a wide berth to any🧸 snowy figures lurking in the shadows this winter.
