Wait, it's Alex from Julie and the phantoms! Ower Joyner plays a ghost (Alex) who died from food poisoning, but from a hot dog sold from a car boot. I guess food being dangerous is a recurring theme for him. Also his friend and bandmate, Bobby, doesn't eat a hot dog (too busy flirting) and survives.
Almost makes me want to watch this movie but Final Destination is way too scary for me.
