“We’re all into ‘Twilight’ and think it’s a worthwhile literary achievement.” In fact, he says, “Our praise is humor. Stein ’10 reveals that they don’t dislike or bash “Twilight.” However, despite the satire, Nathaniel H. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” into the shorter, more comical “Bored of the Rings.” When asked what inspired the writers to create “Nightlight,” they revealed that for over a year and half now, they have enjoyed “Twilight” and to the point of deciding to create their own version. “Nightlight” isn’t the Lampoon’s first attempt at longer length parodies. The Belle in Nightlight observes similar “inhuman” traits in Edwart and decides that he’s a vampire after he saves her from a snowball and (gasp!) does not finish his tater tots in the cafeteria. The Bella in Twilight observes Edward’s inhuman characteristics-his lack of appetite, ability to save her from a swerving car, and stunning physical appearance-and concludes that he is a vampire. Just as the new names mirror the original, there are some pretty obvious parallels between the two plots. Belle Goose, the new girl in “Nightlight” is similarly obviously based on Meyer’s Bella Swan.

Taking obvious to a whole new level, the character Edwart Mullen is based on Meyer’s Edward Cullen, who made pale skin, fangs and a thirst for blood sexy.

“Nightlight” is the Lampoon’s spin on the awkward-girl-meets-dreamy-vampire series created by Stephanie Meyer that has taken the tween, teen, and even some of the adult market by storm. The Harvard Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine, has been working with Vintage Press, the publisher of “Twilight”, on “Nightlight”, a book parody of the vampire-human romance set to release November 3-fortunately for crazed fans, only two weeks away. Devoted fans of “Twilight” eager to quench their vampire thirst may not have to wait an entire month for the next movie installment in the series.
