The 2010 comedy Living Will is sadly best acknowledged as the film that contains the final performance of the Jackass star Ryan Dunn, who was killed in a car accident.

The first movie directed by editor Matthew Lauyer, Living Will tells the story of a guy named Will (Gerard Haitz, The Umbrella), whose deceased best friend and roommate, Belcher (Dunn), returns from the dead as a cocky, mischievous and perverted ghost.

It’s not often that you get an opportunity to talk extensively with both Bud Bundy and the Candyman all in one day. But that was just one of the treats from this writer’s visit to the set of Dark Christmas, which appropriately lensed last week in Sacramento.
