'New Moon' opens to sold out crowds all over St. Louis

By Heidi Glaus

KSDK -- If you're not familiar with the Twilight books or the first movie, the madness surrounding 'New Moon' might be a bit puzzling.

"I don't know, I think it's the good girl, bad guy type of thing," explains one teenager.

But after a couple of hours surrounded by tweens and teens in their Team Edward and Team Jacob shirts, by the way those are the names of the guys fighting for the girl, the pieces start to come together.

It's not so much about vampires and werewolves, but more about love and romance.

"And like what girls want in a relationship," adds one teen.

And let's be honest,  that's something women of all ages can relate to.

Of course there were a few guys in the crowd trying to make the most of the moment.  One was even wearing a wig doing his best Edward impersonation.

But this was mostly a girls night out for a couple of reasons.

"The shirtless guys were amazing," says another teenager.

Now fans, regardless of who their rooting for,  have to patiently await the next movie in the series.
