Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies is an action/horror/historical mashup made by The Asylum, as a Mockbuster designed to cash in on the release of the film adaptation of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It stars Bill Oberst, Jr. as Abraham Lincoln, who is interrupted while in the process of writing the Gettysburg Address with news of a failed attempt to take a Confederate fort. The sole survivor, who is in the process of turning into a zombie, describes how his squad was decimated by undead Union and Confederate soldiers who "ate their flesh". Knowing straightaway that zombies are the cause, Abe decides to lead a crack squad of Secret Service men to investigate the fort and take it back from the undead menace.The movie, despite being a particularly bad offender of Anachronism Stew and a blatant ripoff of the Seth Grahame-Smithe book and movie, is surprisingly not that bad as far as movies from The Asylum go. This is likely due to the influence of director Richard Schenkman, best known for previously making the sci-fi picture The Man from Earth, as well as the performance of Bill Oberst Jr. as Abraham Lincoln..Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bittersweet Ending: A year after the zombie attack, Abe is infected by Mary, whom he refused to kill. Knowing that he's going to turn, he intentionally sets up his own assassination by anonymously informing John Wilkes Booth that he'll be at Ford's theater that night. However, Abe did succeed in stopping the zombies from spreading, thus saving the planet from a global epidemic.

Artistic License – History: Stonewall Jackson would have been dead at this point and the Secret Service was founded by Lincoln to combat counterfeiting, and was not assigned to protect the President until much later after his death.

Been There, Shaped History: Lincoln meets up with a young Theodore Roosevelt, and inspires his "Walk softly, and carry a big stick" motto that he'll use years later.
