Melted oil filter

I just removed my second failed oil filter in 6 weeks off my 2001 Hyundai Accent. Both times the oil was dangerously low, to the point that my engine was making a clattering noise. Upon removing the oil filter, it was sort of crinkled up like it had melted, and it clearly had oil leaking out of it.

The first filter was a Fram, and the most recent one was a MicroGard from O'Reillys.

Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
