After a period of mourning, Max strikes up a relationship with Olivia (Alexandra Daddario), an ice cream shop owner whom Evelyn earlier insulted. Unfortunately, Evelyn comes Back from the Dead and returns to Max, who now finds himself torn between his girlfriend and his new love interest.

Actor Allusion: Near the beginning of the film, Max has Fright Night (1985) playing on his TV. Anton Yelchin starred in Fright Night (2011). Travis suggests trying to re-kill Evelyn via a stake through the heart, to which Max responds that "she's not a vampire." Ashley Greene is of course well-known for her role as Alice Cullen in Twilight.
