When Twilight Goes Wrong - Texas Teen Bites Woman Claiming to be 500 Year Old Vampire - Really.

Wow, seriously:

The arrest of a 19-year-old Texas man claiming to be a 500-year-old vampire from hell has raised chilling questions about pop culture's influence on human behavior.

Lyle Monroe Bensley is being held in Galveston County Jail after allegedly breaking into a woman's apartment and biting her on the neck, police said. The woman, whose name has not been released, broke free and fled the apartment, speeding to safety in a neighbor's car early Saturday. When police arrived on the scene, they found Bensley, wearing only boxer shorts, hissing and growling in the parking lot. He quickly scaled two fences before he was captured, yelling all the while that he "didn't want to have to feed on humans," Capt. Jeff Heyse of the Galveston County Police Department told ABCNews.com.

"I've dealt with some really strange people," said Heyse. "You know, guys who think they're Jesus and that. But I've never seen anything like this."

Twilight Prom "View Point Inn" All But Destroyed in Fire

According to KPTV:

A three-alarm fire that damaged a historic Columbia River Gorge hotel started when sparks from the chimney landed on the cedar roof, according to fire investigators.

The View Point Inn, featured prominently in the movie "Twilight," caught fire early Sunday afternoon.

Two of the movie's fans, who came to see the hotel, noticed the fire and alerted staff members, who tried unsuccessfully to put the flames out with a garden hose.

The hotel, built in 1924, was heavily damaged. Flames burned through the hotel's roof and gutted the top floor.

The hotel's owners filed for bankruptcy last month.

AT first uncertain of what they would do with the property, owner Geoff Thompson, told Fox 12 he thinks he and his business partner can repair the inn.

"This is one of the most beautiful properties in the world. We have people who come from all over the world to come to this amazing inn," said Thompson. "And to think it was almost gone many times before, through ruin and neglect. A little fire isn't going to stop us, but unfortunately this is a big fire. I can't do it by myself."

A wedding planned at the hotel Sunday afternoon was moved to the River View Restaurant in the area.

Fifty more weddings are planned at the venue this summer, including Humberto Olmos' August 7 ceremony.

He and his fiancee drove to a lookout point to see the inn when they heard about the fire.

"Shocked. You know. It's less than a month away. It's kind of disappointing," he said. "Hopefully we can get a refund on that. I highly doubt it."

The owners said they hope they can still hold events outside and in the gazebo area, since most of the damage is concentrated on the roof and the back of the inn.

Another fire broke out at the hotel in December 2008, damaging the kitchen, basement and a room on the second floor.
