Emerson College grad Seth Grahame-Smith , who was in Boston in March to visit with students at his alma mater, attended Monday night’s New York premiere of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” a movie he wrote based on his own best-selling comic-horror book of the same name. Grahame-Smith was joined at the screening by the stars of the film (including Benjamin Walker , who plays Lincoln), and the producers of the film, including Simon Kinberg and Tim Burton.
