Corrected entry: Even accounting for some creative license to allow for Lincoln's secret life as a vampire hunter, the film is littered with historical inaccuracies. Lincoln's mother died in 1818, and the film states his father died nine years later; his father actually died in 1851. William Johnson was about 30 years younger than Lincoln, not his childhood friend. Lincoln's son Willie is killed in retaliation for Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation, which he announced after the Battle of Antietam in September 1862 and took effect Jan. 1, 1863; but Willie actually died in Feb. 1862, almost a year earlier.

Correction: Lincoln also never hunted vampires. this is not a historical documentary. This is an alternate realty where Lincoln is a vampire hunter. As such, creative license can't be ignored.
