Fans queue up to watch the midnight screening of Breaking Dawn at The Odeon, Telford, last night
The clock struck 12 and hundreds of Shropshire fans streamed into county cinemas for midnight screenings of the latest vampire movie as Twilight fever gripped the county.
Fans headed out for a fang-tastic time last night as the much-anticipated Breaking Dawn: Part One opened.
The fourth film in the vampire saga has caused quite a stir as hundreds of fans enjoyed a night to remember.
There was no bad blood among the fans who queued at the Odeon cinema in Telford, and the atmosphere sparkled as more than 800 people filled the cinema waiting for another round of gothic romance. All four screens sold out, so Stephen Hagon, Telford Odeon’s general manager, opened a fifth on the night.
Mr Hagon said: “We’re looking forward to Breaking Dawn: Part Two, which we hope will be as busy.”
More than 150 signed up for a Twiathlon, watching the three previous Twilight films from 4pm yesterday before queuing up to watch the latest installment.
Clare Mills, 32, from Dawley Bank, said: “They were right to split it into two movies, it was a big book.”
Samantha Tonks, 20, from Overdale, said it was Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of Edward Cullen that made the films so special.
Thirteen-year-old Rebecca Wragg, from Perton, went with her mum Jayne Cooper, for the whole Twiathlon. Jayne joked: “Rebecca is a kind of excuse me to come. It is one big, long love story.”
