Twilight Fever Hits Thornhill Library Branch
The Thornhill Branch of the St. Louis County Library will host a 'Twilight' Party to celebrate 'Breaking Dawn,' the newest installment in the popular series.
USA Today reported that before the Breaking Dawn premier in Los Angeles this week, fans camped out for days hoping to get a glimpse of Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner as they headed down the red carpet.
Clearly, Twilight fans are a dedicated bunch and those in the Maryland Heights area are no exception. The movie opens Friday in St. Louis and some area theaters are already selling tickets in advance — including AMC Theaters Esquire 7, Chesterfield 14 with IMAX and West Olive 16.
Wednesday, the St. Louis Post Dispatch announced a contest in which one lucky fan can win a prize package that consists of Breaking Dawn movie passes, DVDs of the first three movies, the new soundtrack, a tote bag and more.
