Following the movie, many sailors stayed to have autographs signed and pose for pictures with Walker in the captain's chair, who spent more than five hours transforming into the likeness of the 16th U.S. President.


In keeping with the film's tagline "are you a patriot or a vampire?" the cast and crew also distributed Lincolnesque top hats and fangs, as well as movie tie-in edition books.

And it seems the event-filled screening was a hit amongst the military.


"The crew of USS Abraham Lincoln was very happy that Twentieth Century Fox and Navy Entertainment hosted the movie's cast and crew out to the ship," stated LCDR Steven Curry, USN Public Affairs Officer, USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), Carrier Strike Group Nine (CSG 9). "We had a great time watching the movie, meeting the cast and more importantly showing them why we are out here supporting operations in the 5th Fleet area of responsibility."
