All We Have to Fear Is Nazi Werewolves and Maybe a Little Fear Itself
While we all wait with varying levels of interest for the movie adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, it may interest you to know there’s more than one president-as-asskicker-of-the-supernatural movie on the way. Above is the trailer for FDR, American Badass, where the 32nd President of the United States gets in his souped-up, weaponized wheelchair and takes on werewolf Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito, and, well… uses a lot of profanity. It looks low-budget as shit, but somehow it’s got both Barry Bostwick as FDR and Ray Wise as General MacArthur, and it looks as fabulous as it is wrong, and it looks very, very wrong. If nothing else, it will be the finest movie where FDR screams “SHIT GOBLINS!” ever made. (Via Bloody-Disgusting)
