Get a bite of this: The Harvard Lampoon will release Nightlight, a parody novel on Stephenie Meyer's bestselling Twilight series, on November 3, reports ew.com. The book launch is just in time for the opening of The Twilight Saga: New Moon on November 20.

Nightlight is about vampire-obsessed Belle Goose who moves to Switchblade, Oregon and meets "super hot computer nerd" Edwart Mullen. Belle is convinced Edwart is a vampire after witnessing strange events like Edwart leaving his Tater Tots untouched and saving her from a flying snowball. Though Edwart doesn't date, Belle is determined to become his eternal bride.

Nightlight comes 40 years after The Harvard Lampoon's last parody novel Bored of the Rings, a spoof of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The Harvard Lampoon is a humor magazine that started at Harvard University in 1876.

I think the "Vampira" movie was released way back even before the Twilight novel was written, so it doesn't count as a Twilight parody hehe... I've seen that movie and I would say it's good (better than Twilight I guess) but not that great.

I think it's only a rumor. It was titled as "Takipsilim," where the official Twilight movie poster was edited. It was definitely a fan made hoax as confirmed later. I will surely laugh hard when this rumor becomes a fact.

^ Meron na... yung "Vampira" (1994) starring Maricel Soriano. Love interest nya dito si Christopher De Leon hehehe... Medyo iba nga lang kesa "Twilight" kasi babae yung bampira (Maricel) at hindi lalake pero love story pa rin ito hahaha!

I can't wait a Filipino vampire love story. THAT to me is the ultimate parody.

hits *like*

But isn't Twilight already a parody of all the superior vampire mythos-based books and movies over the years? Meyer is such a fraud.
