Very early on in our careers, Jim Carrey reached out because he had just seen \u2018<strong>Paranormal Activity<\/strong>\u2019 and he was like \u2018Guys, it\u2019s found footage, and it\u2019s horror have you heard of it, have you seen this?\u2019 And we\u2019re like, \u2018We\u2019ve heard of it\u2026 where\u2019s this going?\u2019\u201d Kwan defined <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was like, \u2018I haven\u2019t seen anyone do that but with comedy, and I have this great idea.\u2019 Because on the set of \u2018Dumb &amp; Dumber, \u2019 it\u2019s famously a haunted set, right? It was the same hotel that \u2018<strong>The Shining<\/strong>\u2019 was inspired by. That\u2019s where they shot all the stuff in Aspen, and so he\u2019s like, \u2018The whole time we were shooting the first \u2018Dumb &amp; Dumber\u2019, things were like breaking, and people were getting hurt, doors were swinging, it felt haunted. I\u2019m about to go shoot [\u2018Dumb &amp; Dumber To\u2019], and I want you guys to do a found-footage horror comedy on the set of \u2018Dumb &amp; Dumber To\u2019 while we\u2019re filming. You guys are going to make a BTS video; it\u2019s going to be a feature-length BTS video that slowly becomes a horror film. And we\u2019re like, \u2018Ok, we\u2019re in 100%.
