American Gothic by Michael Romkey follows Yankee Civil War general Nathaniel Peregrine through three stages of his life. During the first, he becomes a vampire in New Orleans, LA, and, indulging in his grief over his family's death, he avenges himself on the South, including, in a very cool segment, planting the idea for Pickett's Charge into Lee's head. During the second segment around the time of WWI, Peregrine, now in rural Haiti,  commissions a Dr. Lavalle to find a cure for vampirism, meanwhile competing with the doctor for the love of some woman. In the final segment, Peregrine hops up to San Francisco, CA, and redeems himself by saving a Goth teenager from a psychopathic therapist. End.
