Moorpark Library Celebrates Twilight

The fourth movie in the Twilight series is scheduled to open on Friday at Midnight. To celebrate the event, the Moorpark Public Library held a Twilight party on Wednesday night at the Active Adult Center. 

The party was geared for teenagers and included a Twilight trivia quiz, crafts, and the possibility of winning a movie poster for the most recent Twilight film, “Breaking Dawn.”

Why does this series seem to have such major appeal, particularly for young girls and women?

“The people are good looking,” said Caitlin Bonditt, age 11, “and they’re good actors.”

Matiana Gajda, age 10, thinks the Twilight movies are unique.

“They're interesting because it’s like it’s a different thing, how they set it up.”

Her sister, Samantha Gadja, age 11, finds the films very realistic.

“It’s feels like you’re actually part of the movie,” she said.

Kailye Niles, age 12, plans to go to one of the midnight showings.

“I just like the movies,” she said, “the story line.”
