I met the Hillywood show for the first time when the Twilight convention came to Charlotte, NC. I had seen the Twilight spoof once before at Hot topic. I hadn’t really been into spoofs, since most people spoof things to make fun of it, instead of make it funnier in a way that fans will like. When I saw the New Moon spoof at the convetion I about doubled over laughing. I had always thought that “So what” fit that movie perfectly.

After seeing it, I decided to go buy something at their table to help make the next spoof. When I met the Hillywood show I was really amazed. Everyone was so sweet! Especially Hannah and Drew! They talked to me and my mom for almost 2 hours between the 2 days I was there and gave me so much edvice for my own spoof that I was working on.

I don’t know if you’ll ever meet any Christian actors that are as nice to their fans as they are. I hope that someday all thier fans will get a chance to meet them and see just how talented they are and what God gave them.

My only time meeting The Hillywood Show was at the Chicago Twilight Convention in 2009! They were so great! I have been conversing with them for about a year now online and to finally meet them was awesome! I felt like they truly cared about
their fans and what they had to say unlike some people who just don’t care! They made the convention so much more fun by teaching their Twilight parody dance! During the last showing of it during the convention a bunch of us ran up and started dancing to it!

They truly created memories that will last a lifetime! I can’t wait till the next convention in Chicago! I wish them tons of luck in everything they do! I plan on seeing them next summer when the convention comes around!

My friend and I were sitting outside waiting for the next event to happen at Anime Vegas 2009 when we saw our favorite parody girls walk by. In amazement I couldn’t resist the urge to holler “Oh my god! It’s them!” Turns out they were a last minute add on for the convention and we could not have been more excited to meet all of them! Unfortunately, I was too busy taking pictures to actually get a picture with them.

Thanks and you guys rock!

I can not tell you how much my daughter and I enjoyed meeting you at the North Carolina Twilight Convention. You all were so very sweet, warm, friendly and so much fun. The group of you made a great weekend perfect. I have been a fan since around the time Sweeny Todd Parody came out. It has been awesome to watch your talent grow. It was also wonderful to get to meet Hannah and Hilly’s mom, I told her and meant it, she should be so very proud to have two such talented, grounded and sweet girls.

I can only hope my girls could follow a similar path. I actually got my girls into watching the parodies. I am loving all my new Hillywood goodies I got at the convention. Can not wait for the Eclipse parody to come out. Hilly, Hannah, Jacob, Drew and Kyle it was so great to get to talk with you and I hope we can do it again. If your ever in Maryland look us up.

It was the Twilight Parody that started my Hillywood addiction. Funnily enough, the very day they released it my friend and I happened to find it, watch it, and be flabbergasted by it! I was instantly hooked and fandemonium kicked in while I watched every episode/blooper up to that point! Being a film student myself, I was so fantastically impressed with their work and creativity. And I mean, Twilight is awesome and I’m glad that it was what caused me to stumble upon Hillywood. But when I spread “HillyLove” and get other people addicted…I emphasize that these girls are BETTER than Twilight! Months ago, I made my plans to go to the convention in Boston…JUST to meet them…because that’s how much they rock!

Anyway, Vegas was my Spring Break ’10 destination and while there I was blessed with the incredible opportunity to meet Hannah and Hilly! They graciously took time out of their day and came to meet me down on the strip! I was so out of my mind ecstatic and grateful. We sat and talked for over an hour while they let me ask questions about filming and editing, gab about my favorite episodes, and we even talked about our favorite shopping destinations! It was one of, if not THE highlight of my entire trip!

Thank you AGAIN Hannah and Hilly! ABSOLUTELY cannot WAIT to see what you do in the future…and I know it’ll be AWESOME!

I have been a fan of The Hillywood Show for about two years or so, ever since I saw episode 13 and the Hillyween special, I fell in love. I always dreamed of actually meeting them in person. Well, on January 29th my dream came true. I went to Nashville, TN and we arrived about 3:00 a.m but even then, I went down to the convention area and took pictures next to the Hillywood table.

I woke up super early the next morning, had breakfast, and rushed down to meet them. It was crowded but as soon as I stepped in, I saw Drew’s blonde curly hair and I almost passed out. I grabbed my mom and said “Oh my god! It’s them!” I started crying and she slowly forced me up to the table where I shook and showed them my golden twilight weekend pass that said “#1 Hillywood Fan” on the back with their business card at the top. Hilly and Hannah came out to hug me which almost made my heart stop and eventually they started asking me if I wanted autographs, and pictures and stuff.

I even got to chat with Emily, their mom who was sooo nice. I must have spent at least two hundred dollars on THS merchindise during that first hour of meeting the cast. After they went into the convention room and did their act, I went back outside to see them at the table. I hung around the table and wore my TEAM HILLYWOOD shirt which was signed by all of them and I just basically stayed there, running errands for their photographer April for that entire day. I took tons of pictures and I got to know Kyle and Drew a bit. The second day, I did the same thing but Sarah Prince and Anna Buttram came up and when they went to do an interview with The Hillywood Show, they asked me if I wanted to be in the video with them since I was their supposed “biggest fan” I declined out of nervous-ness sadly and I chatted with them a bit. I did that the rest of the weekend basically and got tons of pictures and things and chatted with them a lot, even though Jacob was more tired then talkative it seemed.

When the Vampire Ball came around I was sitting at the table and eating cookies when I saw Kyle and Jacob pass me. When Kyle passed me he like turned around and said “Hey! I know you!” and continued walking. It was SO cool. He actually recognized me in an almost pitch dark room which is so awesome. I got to watch Jacob, Drew, and Kyle do the Soulja Boy on the dancefloor, which was funny and when we went to learn the dance to the New Moon Parody, I sucked at it and I never got to get up front to actually see the girls do the dance. However, my sneaky mother did get a video of Kyle doing the dance with them and Jacob leaning over to tell him that he was being recorded. Again, I took loads of pictures and the next day, I bought two more super special pictures that where in the large photos binder and I said my goodbyes.

So, that was the best moment of my life and I can not wait until they come to Texas!

You guys have created a great fan base for everyone. I enjoyed meeting you guys at the Twilight tour in Phoenix this past summer. It amazed me how generous and sweet you guys were, I dont think Ive ever met anyone like you guys, your talent and devotion is inspiring. Thank you so much Hillywood for all your hardwork. I’d love to meet you guys again in the future.

Up until I discovered the Twilight Convention was coming to in Nashville, I had never heard of The Hillywood Show. My youngest daughter knew all about them and absolutely raved about their parodies! I was excited to meet them and see what they had to offer but I had also decided that I wanted it to be a surprise. I didn’t look up anything because I wanted to see it for the first time at the Twilight Convention. My daughter would talk constantly about how fantastic The Hillywood Show was but I would never let her tell me a thing about the parodies. Needless to say, I was just as exstatic to meet The Hillywood Show and see what they had to offer as I was the actual Twilight stars!

The first day of the Nashville Twilight Convention, it started snowing. I left really early to meet my best friend so we could get to the Opryland Hotel. We were not going to miss the Twilight Convention! The first thing we did was hit the vendors, made some purchases and then made our way over to The Hillywood Show table. I was so excited to get my signed autograph and my picture made with The Hillywood Show cast! While I was standing there, I heard a little voice ask me where I was from. I looked down and there was Hannah Hindi smiling at me. I told her I was from Nashville, she said she was from Vegas, we talked about the snow and how pretty is was. Hannah was so sweet and very friendly. There was just something very special about her. You can feel it. She plays a perfect Alice!

The picture was quick and I thanked everyone. I think Drew (Jasper) said that they would see us around. Hannah waved goodbye
and said she hoped we had a great time. Great doesn’t even come close. We had a BLAST! The Hillywood Show did a fantastic job with the conference, their parodies are phenominal, and it amazes me that two sisters have put all of this together. I have daughters their age and they love to shoot films, take pictures, etc., and it would be cool if they could do something with that passion. I love The Hillywood show! I can’t wait to see what they come up with next and I hope to see them again – real soon!!

Guess what Hillywood…You have another fan!!!

My name is Carol and I am helping my daughter, Melanie write about her visit with the Hillywoods. Melanie has down syndrome, and is a HUGE twilight fan, so the TWILIGHT convention in Atlanta was a dream come true for her. We live in south Georgia and had never heard of the Hillywoods until then. Once Melanie saw the Twilight parody, she was hooked!!

Now I have to have “Hot n Cold” on my mp3 player for her as well as “Poker Face”. She is always on the computer watching The Hillywood Show and we both tell anybody who will listen about Hillywood too.

So you now have a fan base here in muggy South Georgia. She loves to tell everybody that “Jasper” bit her ion the photo she had with The Hillywood Show, and it’s hard to convince people that is not Jackson Rathbone. Keep up the good work and we hope to see you all again next year!

The very first time I met the Hillywood show was back in April 2009 at Acciocon. To be honest, I hadn’t seen the parody, nor had I heard of them before the convention. I remember seeing them in the halls while standing in line for registration and thinking ‘Wow, those cosplays are amazing!’ When my boyfriend and I walked into the vendors’ hall later on, we saw their table all set up and they were conversing with other fans. Immediately my shy side took over, and as much as I wanted to, I couldn’t make myself go over and talk to them. Finally on Saturday, my boyfriend pulled me over there and started talking. I can honestly say that I am so glad that he did. Hilly, Hannah, Drew, and Jacob are some of the nicest people I have ever met. I was so happy when they offered to take a picture with me, it really made my weekend.

That weekend was the first time I saw the ‘Twilight Parody.’ When I got home on Sunday, I looked up all of their other videos and watched them all back to back. Again, I was amazed with the amount of talented that was portrayed in the videos. I started researching when they were doing another appearance near Orlando, and when I found they were hosting TwiTour Atlanta, I booked my tickets.

I think my favorite meeting was later on in the summer at Mini Megacon. It was a much smaller convention, and I was actually able to hang out with them a little bit at their table. Oh, and the whole Japanese snacks deal? That was totally our fault. My boyfriend and I introduced them to pocky that weekend, and it seems to have gone over quite well. lol.

I am so grateful that I was able to meet them as many times as I have, and I really hope that they continue to go on tour with their amazing work. You guys rock!

In March my friend invited me to to go the Twi/Tour Phoenix with her and her younger sister. At first I wasn’t sure how I would like going to the convention, but the next day my friend called me and emailed me the link to the Twilight parody and told me that the girls in it were hosting the convention. I watched it about 10 times because I loved it so much. Then I watched pretty much everything else I could find on Hannah and Hilly’s youtube account and I immediately emailed and posted messages on Twitter and Facebook linking anyone and everyone to the videos.

In early June my friend and I decided that we wanted to make a t-shirt in tribute to Hillywood because we love everything that they do. We designed the shirt ourselves and we were so excited to wear them to the convention. When we walked up to the Hillywood table, we were so excited to see Hannah and Hilly. I think what made our day even better was their reactions to our shirts. I’m not sure if they knew how excited we were to meet them and how much we had been planning and looking forward to the convention just because they were there.

Seeing them onstage and during the Q & A session was so great. They are so sweet and they really care about their fans. Meeting them was definitely the highlight of both my and my friend’s year so far. We are so glad that we could do something to get the Hillywood Show more recognition and we’re looking forward to their “New Moon” parody. We really love you girls and we really appreciate everything that you do. You have brightened my day many times with your videos. Thank you and God bless!

My friends and I went to Official Twilight Convention in New Jersey, since most of the main guests had to cancel we weren’t sure how we would like the con, but I was still excited because I was going to get to see Hillywood! It wasn’t until Sunday that my friends and I had the time to just hang out and talk a bit with The Hillywood Show.

I am really shy, and probably one of Hillywood’s oldest fans, and by oldest I mean age wise. I’m turning 30 next Tuesday, but anyway.. Sunday my friend Sana were trying to get me to go in in meet Hilly, Hannah, Jacob and Drew, but I was too shy and stayed out. They came and got me and brought me in. The cast of The Hillywood Show were just amazing and I got hugs from all of them. I want Hillywood to know that they are some of the nicest people I have ever met. I mean that. They a all were just so humble and simply awesome! I hope I get to see them again soon! So thank you for being awesome to someone as shy as me! It was awesome I am praying for you guys. I know you need it with everything you do everyday.

After ordering my Twilight Convention tickets for Chicago I saw that the Hillywood Show was hosting. I was extremely excited because my friends and I would have Twilight parties and we would ALWAYS watch the parody. When Kelly and I arrived Friday we stumbled upon the Hillywood Show table. I bought an autograph, got it signed by the cast, and also had a picture with them. Later that weekend I made them a “Thank you!” poster with pictures of them from the weekend. It was something I do all the time. When I gave it to them, they were so thankful and excited. I was surprised when they told me it was one of the first they had ever gotten. It made me feel ten times better about doing it. They were all so sweet and were a highlight of the weekend!

I was always looking at this website called Twilightersanonymous.com where they were talking about this group called The Hillywood show. Well they put up the ‘Twilight’ Parody trailer and I was so interested to see it! I waited anxiously until Feb 14th, which is the date it was coming out.

So Feb 14th came and I watched it and was so amazed at The Hillywood Show show that I hit up everyone on from The Hillywood Show on Myspace! I messaged them back and forth all the time! I then heard that the Twilight convention would be coming to Minnesota! I wanted to go so I bought my tickets! I then heard that The Hillywood Show was going to host the convention while I was there and that gave me the chance to finally meet them in person.

Finally the day came! I was a little nervous to meet them but I went to their table and Jacob Jost (Edward from the ‘Twilight’ Parody) recognized me from Myspace! I was so shocked! I tried to introduce myself to them but the rest of the cast shouted out my name and they all gave me hugs. I gave them my surprise for the Hillywood show which was a donation of $15.00 dollars to show my support! I then got a picture with them! It was one of the best times in my life.

The next day I went to buy a Hillywood t-shirt, but Hannah & Hilly’s Mom didn’t want to charge me because of my donation to them from the previous day! I still wanted to pay, so I did, and their Mom let me get another picture with the cast instead! They also gave me Hillywood bracelet for free! I wear it now, all the time!

So to The Hillywood Show thanks again and I hope to see you soon!

Good gracious where do I start? Well I saw the parody for the first time shortly after attending a convention up in Chicago when a friend found it looking through youtube and said “you totally need to check this out.” Now, I have to say at first I was completely pondering even clicking the link because I had seen a few parody clips that were awful, albeit VERY roughly put together. I then decided after a few minutes to click on it and was shocked to find that I immediately fell in love with the parody and found myself clicking every single other link to the many episodes the girls have put together. After putting myself into giggle fits because of these, I finally shared the experience with all of my friends through a facebook group that I run and let’s just say from there, it grew!

Never did I think that I would be fortunate enough to meet anyone that did a parody (and I have been browsing parodies for years now) but after I’d decided to go to the convention run by Creation (then called TwiTour) in Minneapolis, I quickly learned that The Hillywood Show would be there as a host! That had to be one of the most exciting things about the entire tour, even topping meeting Peter Facinelli again! While on my 10 hour drive up, I had to think of ways not to embarrass myself in front of the cast. I think I did a decent job in not tripping over my words when I finally did meet them, and I have to say, it was the most fantastic experience because they were all absolutely lovely to meet! In all honesty, they made our weekend in Minneapolis! Being able to see them perform and just interact with the crowd was more than amazing, especially at the Vampire Ball where they saved the day!

I became fortunate once again in living so close to Chicago that when I saw their names appear on the guest roster, I immediately went “I’m going”. Regardless of the stars that appear, I feel almost as if I have more fun in seeing The Hillywood Show cast because of how personable they are. I was extremely lucky to be one of the four that got to dance with Hannah and Hilly at the Vampire Ball this time and it was definitely the most fun I have ever had! I want to thank them for everything they have done through their parodies, and through making fans smile. It truly goes to show that they are out there for the fans and giving the best experience possible. I hope to see them again next year at a convention, and I know if I do it will be extremely fun.

For those that always wonder too “who’s that lady that is always with them”, Hillymom, Emily…she is the most amazing woman and most definitely has a heart of gold. I wanted to send my gratitude to her as well for doing such a great job in raising her girls, and giving the boys a mom on the road! She is absolutely phenomenal beyond words.

My sincerest thanks go to the four I’ve met – Hannah, Hillary, Jacob and Drew. You four are wonderful and I could not have asked for more in the experiences I have shared with you!

Back in May I ordered tickets for the Twilight Convention for my daughter as a present. While researching the tour I saw a group called “The Hillywood Show” and watched their Twilight Parody. It was AMAZING! I immediately sent it to a ton of people. I couldn’t get over how talented they were and how much work they had put into being true to the movie.

When I found out that they were hosting the our convention I immediately told my daughter who squealed and watched the parody…again. Through the many guest changes she constantly asked me if they were still going to be there.

Seeing them perform in person and meeting them was the highlight of the convention for my daughter and really brought home how special they are. They were so patient with everyone but for me it was touching how much time they allowed my daughter to spend speaking with them, taking pictures and even giving advice on acting. They are doing a wonderful thing by sharing their talent with us all and their wonderful personalities. You can see they get their warmth from their mom and Jacob and Drew were just as great.

My daughter wound up donating money to help with the production of their “New Moon” parody which showsh how much of a special place they hold in her heart as that was less to spend on souvenirs but she ASKED to do that.

Knowing that we will get to see them again next year has made it all the more exciting for her and I hope that they are rewarded with the success and love that they deserve.

I discovered Hillywood after finding it while on Fanfiction. Instantly in seeing the “Parody” part, I thought, ‘This is going to be some stupid video’. But I watched it anyway. I tell you this: I was in shock from the first second. Just the love and enjoyment that went into making this video showed, and I respected the craft of these two sisters. After finishing the video (and watching it many more times after) I followed a link to their website. So I followed through the site to watch the other videos. I loved each and everyone of them. 

 I recently got to meet Hilly and Hannah while on vacation in Las Vegas. Not only did these two girls agree to meet me, a total stranger, but they also stayed and talked to me and my parents for over an hour! I was taken aback by how down-to-earth these sisters were, and how sweet and nice they were to a little fan like me. 

 I am so glad I got the experience of meeting Hannah and Hilly, and that I found their Twilight Parody in the first place. If we need a refreshing face in the film world today, its these two girls. May God bless them in everything the do and aspire to do.

There were a few things I was excited for when I was planning my trip to Dallas for TwiCon, but one of my main goals was to meet The Hillywood Show, if only to tell them how amazingly talented I found them. One of my best friends had linked me to the video (I don’t even know when!) and it took me a few weeks to actually watch it. The second the music started, I was hooked. Finding out they would be at TwiCon made the trip even more exciting since they had become such an integral part of my view on TWILIGHT by that point.

Cue Dallas. I won’t lie, I was so nervous to meet them; I’m not kidding, I kept trying to envision how I could meet them but I couldn’t. I was on the Journalism Team as a videographer for TwiCon and someone told me that if I wanted to film an interview with the cast, it had to be right then and there, and so I grabbed one of our reporters and went up to their Vendor Table when only a few fans were gathered. I think I blinked more than a few times and in a rush, I’m pretty sure I blabbered out, “Hicanwegetaninterview?” Yes. That fast and I probably looked liked some starstruck geek.

I had to run around for the rest of the day but I just kept seeing them everywhere and every time I saw the cast, I wanted to mentally slap my forehead for not even talking to them normally. The next day, I actually went up to their Table as a fan and bought some photos and asked them to sign them and then I asked them to sign this massive TwiCon book I had put together as a scrapbook of sorts. The second they started speaking – and I started talking too this time! – I just felt completely at ease with them. Every single one of the them is absolutely genuine and I think they are some of the sweetest and most admirable people I’ve had the chance to meet.

To be honest, I have no idea if I ever actually told them how talented I think they are and how much I admire their drive and determination to do all that they do.  So, Hillywood, if I haven’t told you that? I just did. <3

I’m not sure when I first discovered the “Twilight Parody” from The Hillywood Show, but it must have been a month or two after it premiered.  At first, I didn’t know what to think, but the second Katy Perry filtered out through my speakers, I knew I was hooked.  I watched the video at least three more times and then told all my friends about the it.  I made it a point to follow The Hillywood Show from then on. 

I never though I’d actually get to meet the cast, but I soon discovered that they would be attending TwiCon in Dallas… which I already had plans to attend!  I was in the vendor room early with a friend of mine, April, who introduced me to Emily, the Hillymom.  We ended up helping her hang a banner on the vendor table and I was absolutely floored by how sweet Emily was and knew that there was no way I should be nervous about meeting the cast.

Before I personally met Hillary, Hannah, Drew and Jacob, I saw them around the convention interacting with fans.  I have never seen such personal attention paid to fans.  They were genuinely glad to see each and every person and devoted all their attention to that person.  It was so refreshing to see!  When it was my turn to meet everyone, I found that my slight bit of nerves had faded and I just concentrated on being myself and telling the cast how much I appreciated what they did.  And just like with everyone else… they were so wonderful to me!  They personalized autographs for me, and then took a picture in a “fight stance.” 

Since meeting them at TwiCon, I have had the pleasure of seeing the cast again at the Official Twilight Conventions in Parsippany, NJ and Chicago, IL.  I’ve gotten to know each of them, and I’m so pleased to have met them!  In the moments I’ve had with them (and trust me, there are many), I’ve just been so… happy!  The cast is so truly kind, and it’s evident that’s how they are in their real lives as well.  Hillary and Hannah are not only amazing filmmakers, director, actors, makeup artists, dancers and more… but they are also two of the most genuine, generous people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.  (Drew and Jacob are just as sweet as the girls, for the record.)  If there’s anyone that deserves success, it’s The Hillywood Show!
