ANAHEIM, Calif. — “Say it. Out loud. Say it!”

Vampires (and werewolves)! That’s right, all five “Twilight” saga films are going to be hitting theaters this October, just in time for Halloween weekend.

The film studio Lionsgate announced on Thursday, Aug. 28, that for five consecutive days beginning Oct. 29, each “Twilight” film will be screened in select theaters across the United States through Fathom Entertainment.

The announcement appeared on the official “Twilight” Instagram account, announcing a week-long event in a collaboration post with Lionsgate, Fathom, and Fandango, that compiled the most iconic moments from romantic reveals, Team Edward vs. Team Jacob, and more.

Fans aren’t just getting another chance to watch these back-to-back on the big screen; they’re also getting new content that will expand the universe. Each screening will feature interviews with author Stephenie Meyer and the film’s producers, which promise “new behind-the-scenes stories and untold moments” from the makers of the films and franchise.

The surprise announcement was teased a day before with a brand-new poster, that will also commemorate the 20th anniversary of Meyer’s “Twilight” novel, which was published Oct. 5, 2005. The new poster shows the backdrop of the iconic woods of the series’ setting with the portraits of the love triangle: Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan, Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen and Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black.

The films’ return to theaters speaks to the fandom’s lasting impact and ability to draw fans to events. Earlier this year, the Claremont Village’s Laemmle Claremont 5 hosted a “Twilight” lookalike contest where fans dressed up like the characters of the films for prizes and as an effort to save the community theater. After the theater’s TikTok page posted advertisements for the event, it quickly sold out and had to add a second showing.

Here’s when each film will return to theaters nationwide:

—“Twilight” Wednesday, Oct. 29

—″New Moon” Thursday, Oct. 30

—″Eclipse” Friday, Oct. 31

—″Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Saturday, Nov. 1

—″Breaking Dawn – Part 2” Sunday, Nov. 2
