ShockTilYouDrop has posted a picture from the unique horror film “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”. The still shows Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) giving an address to an audience, with his delegation and a woman I’m assuming is his wife Marry Todd Lincoln (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) behind him.

The film, based on a humorous horror book by Seth Grahame-Smith, tells the story of Lincoln’s “true” life story, in which he goes on a rampage against vampire-kind after a creature, presumably a vampire, kills his mother. Aside from going after vampires, Lincoln also fights the vampire’s allies, slave-owners. Eat your hearts out, history books!

Also starring in “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” are Dominic Cooper as Mark Sturgess (who trains Lincoln in the art hunting and killing vampires) and Anthony Mackie as Will, who is not only Lincoln’s best friend in the film, but also happens to be at the center of the vampire massacre. The film is expected to be released to theaters June 22, 2012.

Here’s the movie still below. What does this still make you think about the film? Are you ready to see the 16th president kill some 19th century vampires? Sound off on this movie in the comments section below.
