Hundreds of shrieking fans turned out Monday for the Los Angeles premiere of Twilight.

Robert Pattinson, who plays sexy vampire Edward, told Usmagazine.com he was used to all the hoopla by now, "but this week it feels like it's grown so much bigger.

"They all just scream at me and now it just kind of feel like my job," said Pattinson, who joked with MTV News that he'd gone "completely deaf" at the premiere.

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."

See what the stars looked like the first time they went on the red carpet.

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."

    They're playing coy on the subject of sequels?? Oh c'mon... this film is gonna make around 150 million on it's first day. Well, maybe not that much, but perhaps over the weekend it'll make it to that amount. Of COURSE there will be sequels. This is a guaranteed cash cow.

    i am beyond ready to see this movie. i loved the books but i don't think i'd injure myself. i'm not against stalking him but drawing blood is a no no. after all, what good is it to meet him when the first impression is, "that girl needs medication...."?

    They're all signed up for at least the next two movies. The 2nd one is written, but, they're waiting to see if this one makes enough money to cover the expense of the 2nd one.
