The Twilight Saga's Twitter account (@Twilight) surpassed 1 million followers this month. It's the first movie franchise to reach the seven-digit mark, beating its closest competitor, @HarryPotterFilm, to the milestone.
To help celebrate, the films' studio Summit Entertainment unleashed a fan-filled video Monday (watch below). Cast members are also using hashtag #Twihards4EVER to thank fans, including actor Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in Twilight.

The @Twilight handle launched in October 2009 and has helped the series become a global phenomenon. And with the final installment in the vampire trilogy set for Nov. 16, the account shows no sign of slowing down.
Among @Twilight's shining moments aside from sparking countless worldwide trending topics: the Eclipse soundtrack reveal in which it tweeted a new track name and artist every half-hour; the "See It Again" sweepstakes where fans were asked to tweet how many times they watched New Moon; and the short sneak peek of Breaking Dawn teased on Twitter.
