Just the other day, Pattinson realized, "there were some girls who had scratched ... the side of their necks so [they were] freshly bleeding when they came up to get a signature.

"They were like, 'We did this for you.' I didn't know what to say. 'Um, thanks guys?'"

Some fans who turned out for Monday's premiere of the popular vampire literary series-turned-movie even camped out overnight to secure a place in line. More than 600 people were allowed inside special holding areas along both sides of the premiere's red carpet.

"The only thing I can compare it to is, I was in a Star Trek movie when I was like 11 and that was a big deal for a 11-year-old kid," star Mike Welch told Us. "But this is unlike anything I've seen before or been apart of."

Added star Justin Chon, "I can't even wrap my head around this right now. It's so crazy. It was nothing I was expecting."

But actress Kristin Stewart, who plays Bella Swan, told Us she gets why fans are so obsessed.

"The book is pretty hard core and the fans are passionate, so I understand it," she said. "I'm looking forward to seeing the movie. Everyone is talking about it but nobody has seen it. It's hard to talk until you see it."

Can viewers expect another Twilight installment?

"No word yet," Cam Gigandet said. "It all depends on how the movie does when it comes out. But we're signed on for three if it happens."
