I am one who happens to enjoy reading books despite being so active.  I enjoy the shopping experience of going to the book store, checking out what around, making my selection, and coming home and laying on the couch for 30 minutes to read.  Especially during the summer, I enjoy a good fun summer read.  That is exactly what Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is.  From Seth Grahame-Smith, the guy who brought us Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, comes a mock biography about one of the most famous Americans ever, and his unknown secret to the world.  The bestselling book has already skyrocketed up the charts and has seen a lot of buzz on the internet.  Do to its quick uprising, it may be cashing in at the box office soon.

With Tim Burton already slated to be working on the project, this movie has everything that a studio wants for a hit.  First all, kudos, for Grahame-Smith for having the foresight to write this style of book.  He took the vampire craze and combined it with an American icon, pure genius.

Now Hollywood is going to reap in the benefits from this unique story as well.  Wherever you turn, vampires will be found.  The vampire craze is in full force and it seems there is no slowing down.  You have pictures like Twilight to get your teeny bopper fix, an intense adult drama in True Blood, and others in between.

This movie will be the next in line and Hollywood will do everything it can to exploit this.  I can already see a potential Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter game on Facebook that will be surfacing, where Facebook users will install the app to their profiles where they will becoming Abe and hunt vampires.  Maybe their Facebook friends can then see their progress and scores and even interact with others as the game is going on.  The potentials are huge, and that is only the beginning.  This movie has everything to it that a creative marketer can use to boost appeal.

I feel this movie will also reach beyond generation Y, and many adults will be intrigued for the history aspect, even though it is a mock.  I love the book and recommend it to everyone looking for a fun summer read, and stay tuned for more updates on the potential movie, cause I feel big things happening with this movie real soon.

Do you think Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is the next in line for the vampire craze treatment?
