Fans of the Twilight series will be lining up at midnight on March 21 to get a copy of the DVD including a series of special features and deleted scenes.  

The Twilight DVD will be made available to fans in a Midnight Madness Event meant to play on the dark world vampire theme of the novels.

The Twilight movie series is based on the popular quartet of books by Stephanie Meyer and stars teen hearthrob Robert Pattison and up-and-coming star Taylor Lautner.  The story's human heroine, Bella Swan, is played by Kristin Stewart

Every title in very popular series of vampire books is scheduled to be made into movie versions.

The second movie in the Twilight series, New Dawn, is schedules to be released in late 2009.

Summit Entertainment announced Tuesday that the teen-vampire romance will be available for your home-swooning pleasure March 21 in a two-disc, extras-laden, special-edition DVD set.

But the makers of Twilight don't just want you walking into any old big-box store whenever. Those DVDs are gonna be ready at midnight sharp—on a Saturday. (DVDs usually drop on Tuesdays.)

Which means you're being encouraged to put on your Edwardian-era formalwear and party like it's Nov. 21, 2008, when the fans came out in droves—starting at midnight—to give the film a $35 million opening day en route to a $70.6 million first weekend.

Bonus features included on the dual Twilight DVDs include audio commentary by Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and director Catherine Hardwicke; a seven-part making-of documentary called The Adventure Begins: The Journey from Page to Screen; a featurette about the film's big splash at Comic-Con; extended and deleted scenes; and three music videos from Muse, Paramore and Linkin Park.

I'm actually reading them both at the same time, but it looks like Twilight is currently getting more "read" time!
