''It was the first time any of us had a hint of what this franchise could be. We had never experienced any of the craziness. We were backstage waiting to go out, not knowing if there'd be 100 people out there or 6,000. All of a sudden the crowd started screaming because they had put the word Twilight up on screen and we all looked at each other like, 'Oh my god. What are we getting ourselves into?' We walked out and it was the most incredible thing: the screams, the energy, the passion. It was unbelievable.'' —Taylor Lautner on his first time at Comic-Con with the Twilight cast. Here with (from left) Edi Gathegi, Cam Gigandet, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Rachelle Lefevre in 2008.

''The best thing about going to Comic-Con — I mean, look, it sounds hokey, but getting to shake hands with the fans and to actually sit face-to-face with them and discuss your work, and see what they like about it and see what they don't like about it, and actually get to have a conversation with people really is the best thing about Comic-Con. Getting Robert Downey Jr.?s autograph is a close second, but getting to talk to the fans and press the flesh is a lot of fun.'' —Robert Kirkman, (right), The Walking Dead

''I remember last time I was down there I got a chance to meet and talk with Robert Kirkman [The Walking Dead]. I'm a huge fan. And it turns out he was a huge Spartacus fan. So there was the mutual love going on. And it's just that kind of thing. Comic-Con, for all the readers who have never been there, do yourself a favor and go at least once. It is a fantastic experience.'' —Steven S. DeKnight, Spartacus

''I got stalked by the Predator monster once. It was one of those things where he comes up to you and scares you and you're like, 'Oh, that's fun' and you pose for a picture for your Facebook. And then he kind of follows you and you're like, 'Okay, that's funny, you can stop now,' and then he keeps following you all the way to the urinal and then it's not funny anymore.'' —exec producer Kevin Williamson (The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle)

''Comic-Con's amazing. To have that kind of event around the type of movie you love, it?s like paradise. Everywhere you look there?s somebody dressed as your favorite character or there?s some amazing rare movie on DVD or there?s a panel with someone you admire. The frustrating thing for me as a filmmaker is whether I?ll get to see any of that stuff.'' —writer Joe Cornish, Attack the Block
