Polaroid is a special case because of the chemical pod that's included with the film. Normal film can be frozen without problem, although film that isn't in a sealed package (e.g. Ilford 35mm 100' rolls, sheet film) should be put in a ziploc bag first.
For the record, it was in the fridge, not the freezer.
I had put the box in a plastic freezer bag. But because of the size of the box, the bag didn't close.. so I left it open. Big Mistake.
The envelope would not detach from the metal clip for the remaining 5 or so that were left. Not sure what happened, but I am thinking that the metal somehow bound itself to the paper given the moisture.
Oh well, lesson learned.. the hard way *sigh*
I really like Polaroids but they are so expensive..
