Twilight Halloween Maddness

Wow, people went all out this year on Twilight themes. We had so many people send in items (and TY to everyone who did), we’re putting up the most unique, original, or the best movie/book likenesses:

Books

  

Book Based Characters: Alice, Bella, Volturi

Movie Based Characters

 

The Werewolves Were At The Game

Edward’s Car

In the Press

The New York Times has a movie write up and for once the comparison isn’t to Harry Potter. This time it’s to Titanic, which we’ve been saying is a better comparison based on the likelihood of fans to see the movie multiple times. After that, check out Catherine Hardwicke’s favorite holiday movie experience.

The Box Office Prophets make their Twilight predictions.

According to the Wall Street Journal’s Market Watch, 51% of fandango ticket sales are for Twilight.  According to a Fandango survey:

"

According to a current Fandango survey of more than 5,000 moviegoers, excitement is running high:

— 92% of respondents say they’ll see "Twilight" on opening weekend;
— 85% say they plan to see the film more than once;
— 56% are planning to see the movie with a group of friends;
— 97% have read the novel by Stephenie Meyer;
— 86% would be interested in visiting the locations where the movie was
filmed;
— 95% of the respondents to the survey are female;
