FORKS — What could be more fun for some Twilight fans than talking about the books and movies that inspired their devotion?
Well, making fun of them of course.
Hillary and Hannah Hindi, a pair of sisters who operate the online The Hillywood Show, saw “Twilight” when it first came out, but didn’t think much of it.
But fans of their parody show, which makes fun of everything from the “Dark Knight” to “Star Wars,” repeatedly asked for a “Twilight” episode.
“We didn’t really know what to do, because we had no idea what to make fun of in it, because we didn’t really think it was that corny,” Hannah Hindi said.
“But then Hillary came up with the idea to do a music video, and everything has exploded from there.”
The show, which had a small but loyal following, now has drawn hundreds of thousands of hits since it released the “Twilight” spoof.
The sisters act in, film, direct and edit the episodes single-handedly.
Hannah play Alice — Edward’s sister — and Hillary plays Bella.
Other actors volunteer their time to play the other parts, Hillary said.

The Twilight parody kicks off in a scene where Bella tells Edward that his “mood swings are giving me whiplash.” A line used in both the movie and book.
She and the cast then break into song to Katie Perry’s “Hot N Cold,” in which she accused a man, “Cause you’re hot then you’re cold/ You’re yes then you’re no/You’re in then you’re out/You’re up then you’re down.”
The pair meticulously filmed the scenes to match the movements, line delivery and even camera angles as closely as possible.
Neither Hillary nor Hannah had heard of or read Twilight prior to seeing it in the theater.
The pair — along with Jacob Jost, who plays Edward, and Drew Lorentz, who plays Jasper — will perform a live performance of their skit at the Twilight Symposium “Prom Night.”
“We are so excited, because we’re from Nevada, so whenever we are anywhere that is remotely green we are thrilled,” Hillary said.

The sisters started their parody show in 2006 when AOL ran a contest for teens to make their own Web show. The pair won third place and the demand for new material hasn’t stopped.
Both said they wanted to continue making films and spoofs.
“We are having a blast, and just being able to be there makes us feel great,” Hillary said.
The show will ,go on a series of tours throughout the nation for other Twilight events.
