Hollywood has become a repeat offender of overdoing a subject matter.

Once a plot or theme of a movie proves to be popular with audiences, Hollywood drains all the entertainment out of it.

The most recent trend that has been a recurrence for decades in the movie industry continues to become more ridiculous.

That trend would be vampires.

There have always been movies made about vampires. There are classic movies portraying the vampire as a seductive man who earns the trust of beautiful women only to drink their blood, then turns into a bat and flies off into the night.

Most movies made in the 1990s to early 2000s focused on vampires being heartless villains or monsters praying on innocent people and ultimately trying to rule the world. How original.

In 2008, the vampire trend changed once again. “Twilight” was released, turning vampires from monsters into teenage heartthrobs. I’m not going to lie and claim I didn’t go to any of the “Twilight” movies, but I have to admit, I’m tired of seeing human girls fall in love with the hunky pale vampires.

I’m not criticizing “Twilight.” I’m just over it. I’m sure I can’t be the only one, and the newest vampire movie is definitely not going to be much better.

I would expect that the movie industry would try to bring some other trend into popularity, but I may be wrong.

This past week, I went to a movie with a couple of my friends. While I was walking through the lobby of the theater, I noticed a large movie poster. The poster featured an extremely prominent historical figure that all Americans should recognize: Abraham Lincoln. There is a new movie about honest Abe.

To my complete dismay, I read the full title of the movie, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.”

This movie can’t be serious, was my first thought. It has got to be some type of slapstick comedy to make fun of the whole vampire fad that has swept our nation.

My negative reaction to the movie was confirmed when I looked the movie up on the Internet Movie Database.

The thriller movie is to be released this summer. It is based off of a book released in 2010 written by Seth Grahame-Smith.

I have a lot of love for the 16th president of America, but making him a vampire hunter is a serious stretch of the imagination. I don’t mean to be judgmental because the movie is yet to even be released, but it is already being criticized and made fun of.

This final adaptation of the current vampire fad is hopefully Hollywood’s final bite at creating a hit movie. We can all hope they’ve finally sucked the life out of it.
