Join bookstores and video stores across the Tampa Bay area as they celebrate the DVD release of "Twilight," the story of the chaste (kinda sorta) relationship between Edward, a vampire, and Bella, a lovestruck teenager.

Get vampy and dress up like your favorite cast member while listening to the soundtrack as you count down until the midnight release.

Are you on team Edward or Jacob? Discuss and debate at Borders bookstores, as they are planning a variety of "Twilight" themed activities, including vampire baseball trivia games and a "Twilight" movie awards ceremony.

Blockbuster video is out for blood with a "Give a Pint, Get a Pint" blood drive at its release party at 13610 Bruce B. Downs Blvd. in Tampa. The first 50 partygoers can get a free pint of Edy's ice cream by donating a pint of blood. Don't forget to pick up a poster of character Edward Cullen before you leave.

Show up in your pajamas, slippers and "Twilight" night shirts to the Barnes & Noble at 11802 N. Dale Mabry Highway in Carrollwood for a "Twilight" DVD Release Pajama Party. Partake in "Twilight" trivia games, contests and a scavenger hunt that takes clues straight from the series.

For your viewing pleasure, F.Y.E. music store at the Westfield Brandon mall will be showing the "Twilight" film throughout its party. There will also be in-store trivia games and costume contests, with prizes awarded.

The Borders bookstore at 909 N. Dale Mabry Highway also is hosting a "Twilight" DVD party that includes, games, trivia, debates and prize giveaways. The party starts at 10 p.m. with DVDs being distributed promptly at midnight.

Other area stores, including Walmart, are staying open late for "Twilight" customers. Call ahead to specific store hours.
