which was shown at the IMC Film Fest a couple of months ago,

(One snippet: The Transient and his sidekick are questioning
a thug involved in a series of mysterious recent attacks...)

 [sidekick]:  Did you say *Abe Lincoln*?
 [transient]: Vampire AbraHAM Lincoln.  Where is he?
 [thug]:      I don't know, aggh...
 [sidekick]:  *Vampire* Abraham Lincoln?
	      How long has our 16th president been a vampire?
 [transient]: He's always been a vampire.
	      After the assassination he had to go into hiding.


Lincoln is played with gravity by Michael Krebs, who "has
portrayed Lincoln for various occasions throughout the United
States since 1994".  He makes a convincing Lincoln -- most of what
the character says is neatly taken from famous Lincoln quotes -- and a
convincing vampire.

OK, it *is* a horror movie, but it's kinda fun.
