Vampire Spoof's Fake Edward: Twi-Hards Are Scary!

Matt Lanter says he was worried about Twilight fan reactions to their new spoof

It didn't suck to be a vampire at the Teen Choice Awards, but Vampires Suck star Matt Lanter was walking the carpet with one eye open.

The 90210 cutie who plays "Edward" in the Scary Movie-type spoof braved the awards on Sunday despite the fact there were many Twilight stars roaming around.

"I really hope I don't see Robert [Pattinson]," Matt joked to us on the carpet. But that wasn't what really made him nervous...

"I'm just kidding, Rob seems like a cool guy, I'm sure he'll laugh about [the film]. I've heard he has a sense of humor about it all."

So if it's not R.Pattz's hair that had Lanter a bit rattled, what was it?

"It was the Twilight fans, the Twi-hards, who I was really worried about," Matt said, with a smile that rivals Taylor Lautner's pearly whites, might we add. "But they seem to like it actually. I think the Twilight fans have a sense of humor, so it's making it that much more fun."

Lanter said they steered clear of Bon Temps where True Blood's bad-ass vamps reside and poked fun mainly at Stephenie Meyer's creation.

"You get a couple of jokes here and there with other stuff, but it really follows Twilight pretty closely. If you're a Twilight fan and know the movies you're going to get a lot of the jokes. We make fun of Becca and Edward. [Kristen Stewart's] name is Becca, we couldn't use the actual names except Edward and Jacob. We somehow got away with those. Bella Swan is Becca Crain in [Vampires Suck]."

But for you Twi-hards who are ready to go after Matt, don't get your stakes out yet.

"I actually did read Twilight. I read the book and watched the first couple of movies a lot so I get it," he said about the franchise. "Even though we are making fun of them, we wanted to pick up on the mannerisms and body movements of the characters. It was fun!"

As for whether Lanter has had any negative feedback from the cast about their new movie, he says not yet.

"I'm not even sure if they all know about it."

Well some do...we heard one New Moon cast member was quite catty when she ran into the babe who is playing "her" in Vampires Suck. But surely you all don't want to hear about that, right?
