Q&A

How did you get into Twilight?

Ashlea- I didnt start watching it until Eclipse was out in theatre. My husband convinced me to watch it and once I did I loved it.

I seen Twilight and New Moon before I read the books. I read

all 4 books then seen Eclipse.

Bree-I was at home and my step dad was leaving for work right after my mom passed it was the first I was going to be alone in the house. He told me to rent a movie so I got it the movies on demand channel and was watching previews. I watched the twilight movie loved it so much rented it 3 more times and I bought it and have been hooked ever since.

Melissa- I was out with my Husband and we saw Twilight was showing it was it last week so it was nice quite when we went i was not going see it cause it had vampires and that so i thought it was horror but then my friends said it was love story so thought i go check it out for my self and so i did and i fell in love with it right away the next day i went and brought all the books i had to see what happen next and i love them them all.

Leyla AKA Stefan's Girl-I was at my friends house when she said lets watch Twilight and I said okay and half way through twilight I said I love this and stayed up all night to watch them all.

Mandy-My friend Jim & I have known each other for years. We knew we both loved vampires from years of talk. One year for my birthday Jim & I went to see a film together. As our luck would have it "Twilight" was a featured trailer. As we watched I was so intrigued by the difference from what I've known (blood thirsting killers). After the clip I leaned over and said "I want to see this so bad it looks awesome!" He replies, "No you don't Ill explain later." After the movie on the drive home he begins to say: "This is not the vampire movie you are used to. They made a book about it, its horrible, it appeals to 12 year old girls because its a horrible love story. Trust me on this Im your friend I love vampires like you. I would see it myself if I thought it was good." So I believed him and never thought about it. Times passed and Twilight was a sensation.While I was working I had asked a co worker (older female) if she had seen Twilight. She looked at me with HUGE eyes and said "Mandy go rent that dvd today! You will love it, coming from someone older. Trust me. A male co worker who was listening (male) shouts "it will be 2 hours you will never get back, trust me!' Man all this "trust." I thought it's Friday night I'm renting Twilight, I'll decide.From the time that movie started to the time it finished I was in love. This movie was a different type of vampire story, I loved it! It wasnt trashy, had balance, the emotions between Bella and Edward were so electrifying that people in LOVE or experienced LOVE would get this. When Edward looked into Bella's eyes at the car crash scene... that was a deep look of compassion was serious.I loved how they had "bad" vampires who still hunted humans. I liked the story line on how the rival came between the Cullen's and Victoria's clan. Throughout it all Bella remains: smart, strong, teaches love, creative, and humble. I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!! I told my friend Jim any future opinions will remain just that. I no longer trusted his views on movies. I told him he needed to go watch it, deep down love it, but outwardly despise it. Lol After that I was a devoted fan. I Seen the rest of the movies in theater, read all the books, I have many trinkets of memorabilia, I have a fan page (owned with my best friend) with other friends who have the same passion I do. I have met my best friends through Twilight.
