Abraham Lincoln Is A Bad Motherfu... Shut Yo Mouth!!!



Hey Man, I'm just talking about Lincoln. You know? Our 16th President. The man was many things. A freer of slaves, a leader during troubled times, a lover of beards and tall hats. But did you also know he could give Buffy a run for her money?

That's right people, Abe Lincoln hunted the children of the night. Vampires. We're not talking about the wussified sparkling kind either who mope around and date teenagers. No, we're talking about killers. Beasts disguised as gentlemen of the day. They're a blight on this world, and Honest Abe could honestly kick their asses when he needed to.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a book that will be coming out soon. It was written by Seth Grahame-Smith, the same guy who gave us the ever amazing Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and if his past work is anything to go on then this book will be a must read. Above is a trailer for the book that the publisher Quirk Classics has put together, and it's nothing short of amazing. Witness the glory as Lincoln takes down a vampire John Wilkes Booth.

I can only hope one thing after watching it myself, and that is that the actor who plays Lincoln in this trailer will be cast to play him again in the full length feature film that is sure to be adapted from this in a few years time. That guy is bonafide bad ass!!!

Oh, and speaking of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, there's a prequel coming out for it called Dawn of the Dreadfuls, and it too has a completely rad trailer for it. Check it out:



Seriously, why doesn't Quirk Classics just expand out and start making low budget horror films too? I'd watch the shit out of that if it was a full length film. It's beautiful. At the very least, you know that the films they made would easily be ten times better than any of those SyFy channel Original movies.
