As cheesy as it sounds, the premise and visuals behind Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter looks fantastic. A brand new trailer – one that is full of blood – has arrived, and a stove pipe hat wearing, vampire hunting, president hits all the right notes for me.
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

This may sound strange to say, but I think they are taking this too seriously. This should be done more tongue-in-cheek like Buffy (or Monster Squad which was my first thought.)
As it is…meh.

I haven’t finished the novel yet, but cheesey or tongue in cheek is exactly the wrong way to handle this idea. I suggest you read the book and think about it a bit. Handling it tongue in cheek would end up like “Song of the South” only with vampires.
I’m all over this like a cheap suit. This looks like a boat-load of fun. I’m looking more forward to watching this than the Dark Knight Rises (which I have been completely disappointed with everything released on so far).
Um, are the vampires being used as a metaphor for the South here?
Not to give away any of the plot, but the vampires find it easier to go unnoticed and claim victims in the slaveholding states, since nobody cared much about what happened to slaves.
