All it makes me think of is the Party Down episode where Henry is trying to get an audition for young Lincoln because his friend is playing a vampire hunting Edgar Allen Poe.

[Souj]

I've read the book, Don't like how over the top they're making it. (as odd as that sounds for a movie titled "Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter")
That and all the sloooooooooooo mooooooooooooo

So is this supposed to be some kind of social commentary on 'deifying' certain historical figures? e.g. the near-infallibility of the founding fathers or a conservative's inflated view of Reagan taken to an extreme?
Or is it just some fictional alt-history bizarre mash-up?

[Laude]

Clearly this is a documentary of Abraham Lincoln's secret life as a vampire hunter. President by day, Vampire Killer by night! *que Castlevania music*

Ok but seriously, I must see this, haha.
