I always look through YouTube and find stuff I like about Twilight or New Moon. Here are some faves! Including my own, of course. ;)

Mine is composed to the song Kingdom of Welcome Addiction by IAMX which, imho, is perfect for Twilight. It just sounds vampish, I reckon!



I like this one from RaggDollish -


This one from phoebalicious1 is good, particularly because it's her own song and pretty good too!


I also like this one from darksoulvamp, the music is what sold it for me. It's Love Song Requiem by Trading Yesterday


I think most people have already seen tiffanyd666's famous fan-made trailer!

She's got lots of other cool ones as well.
