The movie "Lincoln" directed by Steven Spielberg tackles the serious and historically important subject of President Abraham Lincoln's final months. The film centers on his work to win a two-thirds majority vote of the House of Representatives on the 13th Amendment to the Constitution abolishing slavery in the United States.. While Abraham Lincoln wasn't actually hunting vampires, the real story of his mother's death from a mysterious milk-borne disease that caused entire villages to be abandoned—plus his prophetic death dream and the presidential curse that killed seven leaders—might be even more disturbing than the fiction.
