Last summer’s box-office disappointment Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter hits DVD and Blu-ray today — just in time for the inevitable “Where’s the vampires?” jokes w/r/t the upcoming Spielberg Lincoln biopic (and seriously, you guys, just keep those coming). So we should probably take a moment to pause and reflect on the fact that they actually went and made Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a film whose mere concept is so utterly insane that, yes, of course it’s a real thing. If you’re looking to catch up with AL:VH on home video, it might not be a bad idea to pair it up with some of the other films that, against all notions of good sense and taste, are real things that actually exist. We’ve got some suggestions after the jump.
