Twilight The Next Harry Potter With A Horror Twist?

Breaking Dawn, the last book in the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer hit shelves earlier in August and has caused quite an uproar among fans looking forward to the movie, and those who are skeptical about the movie being shown to the young audience it is intended for. Admittedly the subject matter is no more controversial than wizards and magic, which the Harry Potter books are famous for, so we could have a new behemoth in the world of Tween movies, this time bearing a “horror” moniker.

The story follows the protagonist of the books, Bella Swan, who is sent to live with her father in dreary Forks, Washington after her mother remarries. Once there, she’s fascinated with one Edward Cullen, who’s stark white appearance isn’t the only startling thing about him and the rest of his family. Bella soon finds out Edward, along with the rest of his “family”, is a vampire and becomes enthralled with Edward, not only because he is her soul mate, but simply because she loves him. While this isn’t the first time someone has fallen in love with a vampire, if the movie stays true to the books, fans will have lots to expect.
