Education

Obama the Vampire Debater

February 19, 2008 06:21 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link

What would it look like if Sen. Barack Obama sang and danced and fought vampires?

Answer:

The full movie, Barackula, places the young senator at Harvard Law School during his days as Law Review president, where he must "stave off a secret society of vampires" and convince them that "opposing political philosophies can coexist."

And with lyrics like, "This is our time/There'd be no left or right/We can live together/The mortals and immortals"—who cares that none of the Southern California-based cast and crew have ever set foot on the Cambridge campus and that many of the scenes were filmed in a Pasadena home?
