Now all we need is John Wilkes Booth - the Mummy Returns - a musical, hysterical, historical, drama by ????, staring David George
(check out Dave Taylor's Boothie Blog for Christmas Songs and Booth mummy info)
think we can talk Dave into it?

Gene: too funny! Maybe there can be some sort of Frankenstein tie-in with Lew.

Betty can be Dr. Frankenstein. There's the article a couple of month's ago in the Surratt Courier where she is digging around looking for Lew's remains in the cemetery and the great photo of her holding his skull.

Yes! Now we just need Igor...

I think Laurie or Bill Richter could add a whole new dimension to that character. Smart with a biting, clever sense of humor.

When I was a kid, the Universal monsters were the big thing-the Wolfman, Creature from the Black Lagoon...we even build models of them. Today, we have what is called a "mash-up"-the blending of two different things to create something new. I can see a whole new industry with Lincoln and the traditional monsters. Maybe graphic novels are already doing this...

It was also more a vampire movie, than a Lincoln movie. Having seen it at the theater, that was enough for me. The special effects were more memorable than the plot.Hello Gene, Maybe it is just me but what possible story line can you have with Lincoln and Vampires or sombies? I have had family members asking me if I would like them to buy me Lincoln the Vampire killer and I told them no way! I just cannot connect one with the other. Is it me or am I missing something?

Take anyone famous. Tell their life story. Throw a few vampires into the story. Stretch the truth about the events in their lives, anything that goes wrong, blame it on vampires.
This could just as easily have been JFK, Vampire Hunter.

It could be Lincoln, Kennedy and even mother Theresa. I just can't put my head around any of it. Guess it is some what like todays reality shows. Where there is absolutely no reality at all but I hear alot of people watch them anyway. I enjoy true reading best of all. Gary P.

Somewhere I heard that in the ending of the zombie movie, Lincoln becomes infested with the zombie virus (or whatever) and arranges his own assassination so he doesn't become a zombie too...
RE: Lincoln the Vampire Hunter - BettyO - 01-17-2013 07:33 AM
But isn't JWB a zombie in this movie?! OMG this is all so stupid! But for some strange reason STUPID stuff sells nowadays!!
