Then she calls her mother, and tells her about her 'problems'. Then she opens feeds her cat. As she opens the fridge, she sees the head of Mrs. Pamela Voorhees. She screams, and then is killed, as the kettle whistles in the small kitchen.

He then tells them about Camp Blood, (the name for Camp Crystal Lake where the deaths happened). They stop the van because someone has placed an obstruction in the middle of the road: a log. Jeff and Ted then get rid of the log, as Sandra walks around the campgrounds, unaware of the danger she's in.
