There is a common link between the sparkly universe of Twilight and the sociopath exploits of Showtime’s Dexter, and her name is Melissa Rosenberg. The screenwriter and Emmy-nominated television producer has been juggling the two franchises since 2007, which is when she scripted the first Twilight film from Stephenie Meyer’s novel. Following the film’s enormous success, Rosenberg became Summit’s go-to writer for the series, and she’s since written two sequels including this month's New Moon and next summer's Eclipse.
FEARnet spoke exclusively with Rosenberg from her home in Los Angeles, where she had recently returned from a whirlwind trip to Rome to unveil new footage for Italian Twilighters. Among other topics, Rosenberg discussed her favorite new scenes and explained how that proposal scene will be split between New Moon and Eclipse -- and that, if she were to write Breaking Dawn, the subject matter wouldn’t be a problem.

Fans love Ashley Greene as Twilight's Alice Cullen, but how would things have been different if Greene had nabbed the role of Bella instead of Kristen Stewart?
In the October issue of Saturday Night Magazine, Greene says that she initially auditioned to play Bella, Robert Pattinson's love interest and Twilight's main character. (She also tells E! that she wants to play a Bond girl, which we're all for.)
Before she was Bella Swan in the Twilight films, Kristen Stewart was in, yes, a horror movie! And she's not alone. In fact, many of Stewart's New Moon pals got hacked ‘n slashed in their pre-Twilight days – and a few of them even did some of the terrorizing.
Peruse our Top 10 favorite horror movie appearances by New Moon alumni and see if you recognize these future vampires and residents of Forks, Washington back when they were covered in blood and guts, chased by ghosts, and possessed by otherworldly creatures.
November 20 is only a month away, which means you've ONLY got a month until The Twilight Saga: New Moon hits theaters! We gathered the essential to-dos into one handy checklist to help you get ready for the big day.
Entertainment Tonight unveiled a great exclusive clip from New Moon on Monday: Bella slaps Paul, who phases into a werewolf before her eyes!
In the scene, Bella (Kristen Stewart) confronts the Wolf Pack about her deteriorating friendship with Jacob (Taylor Lautner), who's been distant (and really, really hot) since joining their band of secretive Quileute teenagers. She doesnt know that their secret is of the animal variety until, that is, she slaps Paul (Alex Meraz). Paul's rage overcomes his control and he phases into a giant, menacing wolf that chases Bella until Jacob leaps off of his porch and transforms himself, mid-air.
The battle between Edward Cullen and Bill Compton for the hearts of vampire-loving fans remains a stalemate, at least if last weekend's Scream Awards are any indication.
The two hottest vampire properties of the year Twilight and True Blood tied for the most number of awards, each taking home four trophies. Twilight won Best Fantasy Film, Best Fantasy Actor (Robert Pattinson), Best Fantasy Actress (Kristen Stewart), and Breakout Performance (Taylor Lautner).
Meanwhile, True Blood nabbed Best TV Show, Best Horror Actress (Anna Paquin), Best Horror Actor (Stephen Moyer), and Best Villain (Alexander Skarsgard, who beat out Twilights Cam Gigandet).
