With the whirl of TV spots, trailers, screen shots and scenes that Summit Entertainment has been releasing to promote "New Moon" (released in three weeks!), it's surprising we haven't seen the entire movie already. But Summit is taking the smart approach and, instead of releasing an actual new scene, they instead release an extended segment of something shown in a trailer. It's smart because not only does it whet our appetite, but the viewer still knows they have something to look forward to when the movie hits theaters.

Tonight's Ulalume Festival clip (see it after the jump!) was no different, showing Bella's birthday party before she gets her infamous paper cut. It's the first time we've gotten a good look at the Cullens since the first teaser, which also showed clips from the birthday party. This MTV exclusive clip gave us the chance to actually hear some interplay between our favorite vampire family.

So your love of all things "Twilight" shines every day of the year, but with "New Moon" just 21 days away, Halloween gives you the perfect opportunity to literally wear your Forks (and now Italy!) heart on your sleeve (and no, we don't just mean by donning one of Nordstrom's "Team Wolfpack" shirts). We already gave you the Crush-approved step-by-step instructions on how to dress like Volturi guard Jane, but we're sure when it comes to your Halloween costume creativity (which we've learned runs very deep thanks to our Rob O'Lantern contest) the sky's the limit.

So, knowing that much, we want to see your "New Moon"-inspired Halloween costumes! Are you gathering a whole Cullen clan to go partying this weekend? Will you be facing off with a gang of hairy werewolves? Inflicting pain as a group of Volturi? Skipping the robes and going instead as a Forks student? Whatever it is, upload your pictures to http://your.mtv.com/ and we'll post the best snapshots next week!

As an major incentive — and reminder of the debut of MTV's EXCLUSIVE "New Moon" clip during the Ulalume Festival tomorrow night ( 9pm ET/PT) — click the photo believe to see a sneak peek of the footage you're going to see. Hint: the entire Cullen clan is present for this pivotal scene!

"The Twilight Saga" has spawned hundreds of different merchandise that you can find anywhere from Hot Topic to Borders to Nordstrom. When MTV got a chance to sit down with the cast to promote our exclusive clip (debuting tomorrow night on MTV during the Ulalume Festival at 9pm ET/PT!), they asked the cast the pressing question of whether or not they own any of their own merchandise.

"I do not," admitted Jackson Rathbone, "however my bandmate Ben Graupner actually bought a Jasper pillowcase with my face on it and I had to ritualistically burn it because it was scaring me."

In preparation for the brand-spankin'-new "New Moon" clip MTV is airing during the Ulalume Festival at 9 ET/PT on Friday, a compilation of interviews with various Cullens was released surrounding the probing question: "What do you keep in your trailer?" Check out the video below!

"The most interesting thing I keep in my trailer is myself," Ashley Greene admitted in a jokingly pretentious voice.

She then went on to give her real answer, saying she had her dog with her on set during the filming of "New Moon." "She's really nice to come back to after you do this long crazy scene and then you open the door and there's this little dog there that's, like, the most excited ever to see you, every single time."
