What happens

Frozen Scream is a 1981 American horror film directed by Frank Roach, produced by Renee Harmon, and starring Harmon, Lynne Kocol, and Thomas McGowan. Harmon also co-wrote the story with Doug Ferrin. Its plot follows two scientists whose experiments to unlock the secrets of immortality instead result in the creation of black-robed zombies that must be preserved at very low temperatures to continue functioning. Principal photography of Frozen Scream began in L.A. in 1975, and lasted approximately 28 days. An independent project, the film was shelved until around 1981, when post-production and shooting began in Salt Lake City. Though it did not receive a theatrical release, it was eventually released on the home video market in 1983. It achieved some notoriety for its release in the UK, where it was included on the BBFC's "video nasty" list. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
