So much awesome! I am particularly excited about the graphic novel, which is said to be an animated comic. I loved me some horror-filled comics, so that’s a huge bonus. And of course, I want to get my hands on the film itself. What a perfect way to spend a chilly October night – vampires, bloodshed, and ass-kicking historical figures.

As of right now, Fox has yet to release the details on the plain ol’ DVD version, but you’ll know them the moment we do.

Who here is picking up their own copy of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter?” For those who have seen the film, what did you think?

Moonlight (aka Amanda) loves to write about, read about and learn about everything pertaining to vampires. You will most likely find her huddled over a book of vampire folklore with coffee in hand. Touch her coffee and she may bite you (and not in the fun way).

  1. I liked it. In one sense it was historically accurate in that the slave states were indeed perpetrating an anti-human atrocity and Lincoln was a great hero. It’s gratifying to see those truths starkly presented in contrast to the “honor on both sides” moral equivalence revisionism of Gods And Generals (2004) and Gettysburg (1993).

  4. In one sense, I liked the movie better than the novel, because the movie ends before Abe goes to Ford Theatre on the evening of April 15, 1865 (which leaves much more room for creative interpretation).

  5. Awesome, I loved that movie, saw it twice. Of course the book was better, but it still kicked ass. Can’t wait to get my hands on the DVD!
