"Twilight" Star Draws Hundreds to Town Center Mall

















CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Hundreds of die hard "Twilight" fans headed to the Town Center Mall as early as 4:00 a.m. Saturday for a chance to meet Peter Facinelli.

He portrays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the movie "Twilight".

Facinelli signed autographs and even posed for pictures with his fans.
They shelled out up to $40 dollars for a chance to get close to the star.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Facinelli's favorite charity, Omnipeace. The organization helps families who live in extreme poverty.

This is first time a "Twilight" character has made a stop in West Virginia, and Facinelli says he's humbled by the turn out.

He's a huge fan of the books and says it's an honor to be part of something that's turned into a pop culture phenomenon.
