First Look at New Moon's Evil Volturi

Prepare to be scared.

In New Moon, the second installment in Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight saga, readers are first introduced to the ancient ruling class of vampires known as the Volturi. Determined to capture their creepy menace for his screen version opening Nov. 20, New Moon director Chris Weitz has given them custom-crafted blood-red eyes.

"They're all hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts," Weitz tells PEOPLE. "They're opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can't really see into them. There's something terribly off-putting about it."

British actor Michael Sheen (The Queen) plays Aro, leader of the Italian blood-sucking clan. Although Aro and his brothers Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower) have been "alive" for thousands of years, Weitz says he "deliberately" gave them a younger look in the film – for which he credits author Meyer.

"Stephenie was very keen to steer away from a kind of wizard-y look for the vampires," says Weitz. "They do look quite young, but they convey a formality and self-possession, which comes from age."

Perhaps most lethal of all the Volturi is Jane (Dakota Fanning), an angelic-looking vampire who inflicts torture on her victims. "She is very strange and very spooky in this movie," says Weitz. "I think [Dakota] wanted to play an evil character for once."

Your First Look at Twilight New Moon’s Volturi Vampires

Here’s your first look at the Volturi vampires from the Chris Weitz’s upcoming “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” in full costume. Okay, just their face, because apparently Summit Entertainment has yet to release the official promo arts, but that didn’t stop someone from getting their hands on them and creating this little nice row call sheet anyway. Question: did they really have to “make up” Dakota Fanning’s face? The girl looks creepier without the makeup, but maybe that’s just me. First, a little bit about them:

The Volturi are the equivalent of a royal family to vampires. They operate from the city of Volterra, Italy. The Volturi have existed for at least three thousand years, if not more. They are the largest coven in existence, followed by Carlisle’s family and Tanya’s. However, they do not follow a “vegetarian” diet, as seen in New Moon, in which they capture and murder several humans in a carefully planned “meal”. They are considered the de facto royal family of vampires, as they are the largest and most influential coven in existence . The Volturi deal swiftly and decisively with anything they consider a threat to their city, or the vampire world. They destroy anyone who attempts to overthrow them, or resist their authority and, at Caius’ insistence, have hunted werewolves (true werewolves, not shape-shifters) to near extinction in Europe and Asia.

Are they back together?!?!?!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted out together in L.A. on Thursday night, just days before they begin filming 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.'

Rob and Kristen enjoyed a Bobby Long concert in Beverly Hills, watching from the privacy of a veiled area on stage, says People.com. After the show, a cab spirited them off into the night.

'Eclipse,' the third chapter in the 'Twilight' saga, is scheduled to begin production on August 17. Meanwhile, the saga's eagerly anticipated second film, 'New Moon,' rises in theaters on Nov. 20.

'Twilight''s Peter Facinelli Muscles Up for 'Eclipse'

When Peter Facinelli starts rehearsals for 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,' he and Robert Pattinson and the rest of the gang will be spending a whole week on fight training.

"What happens in 'Eclipse' is Victoria comes back and she builds an army of new-born vampires, which are basically new-bitten vampires that are blood-crazed," Peter tells ET. "She is trying to get this army to come after us so she can get to Bella, so we team up with the werewolves to attack these newly bitten vampires."

Peter is leaving for rehearsals for the new movie today, and he says that there are two weeks of rehearsals before the fight training, so his wife Jennie Garth and his girls will probably come up to visit.

"I try not to go more than two weeks without seeing the kids," he says. "That is my general rule. After two weeks, it gets to be too long and the kids are, 'Who are you?' I am on 'Eclipse' for three months. I will go back and forth. I am going to have them come up for the fight training so they can see what dad does."

The 35-year-old actor says he considers the 'Twilight' cast his second family: "We are really like a family off and on set. I love each and every one of the cast members like they are my kids."

As soon as 'Eclipse' wraps, Peter will start shooting the second season of his Showtime series, "Nurse Jackie."

"What is fun for me is to play two characters that have the same occupation, but they are 180 degrees apart," he tells ET.

"Nurse Jackie" airs Monday at 10:30 p.m. 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' opens in theaters on November 20, 2009.
