Then there was some Salt Lick BBQ served that evening, and then finally a special outdoor viewing of "Freddy vs. Jason" on a giant screen out in the middle of a large grassy field. Before the movie started, as the crowd eagerly awaited the film, the campers broke into competitive cheers of "Freddy" and "Jason".A half-hour Q&A hosted by Harry Knowles followed the screening and both Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) and Ken Kirzinger (Jason Voorhees) were joined by director Ronny Yu and producer Sean Cunningham to chat with the fans and answer questions.After the stars left, the film "Sleepaway Camp", followed by the movie "Madman" were shown and the whole event would end with a viewing of "Wet Hot American Summer".
