About This Quiz
It's almost unbelievable that before 2008, most people hadn't heard of "Twilight," the young adult book that morphed into a Hollywood hit film. Written by amateur author, Stephanie Meyer, and inspired by a dream, "Twilight" and its sequels jump-started a cultural obsession with all things vampire. Not only was Kristin Stewart (who played Bella Swan) the highest paid actress in Hollywood for two years after her breakout role in the franchise, but it's opening weekend box office gross was the highest ever for a film directed by a woman (Catherine Hardwicke.)
Because you're obviously a super fan of the series, you should know all the obscure tidbits of "Twilight" trivia we're about the throw your way. You obviously know what images are on the Cullen family crest and which class Bella and Edward met in, right?
If you're obsessed with the Cullen coven, have ever used #teamjacob or #teamedward on social media or wished desperately that you were Bella Swan, then this quiz is for you! Go ahead, and prove your sparkle-vamp skills!
