Inside each kernel of pop corn is a minute amount of moisture (water), when the kernel gets really hot, the moisture tries to expand into steam and the tight skin of the kernel pops open, spreading the contents.

Can frozen popcorn be used in popcorn machine?

Most likely yes. But why would you freeze popcorn in the first place? You may find that when frozen popcorn is put in a popcorn machine, the outside of the kernals will "cook" much quicker than the insides will heat up. This means that they kernals may end up burnt on the outside before the oil inside the kernal has reached a heat that will make it pop. This may result in burnt popcorn.
