Q: What is an iRiff?
A: An iRiff is a home-made audio commentary that you can upload to the RiffTrax Store and sell to our thousands of daily visitors. You'll make 50% of the net revenue your iRiff generates, paid in quarterly installments on balances over $25.
Q: What do the different formats, NTSC and PAL, mean?
A: The short answer is that NTSC files are for people in North America, including the United States and Canada. PAL files are for users in regions other than Region 1, such as the United Kingdom and Australia. The long answer has to do with technical specifications of each format. NTSC and PAL have different framerates - meaning a PAL video actually is a bit faster than its NTSC counterpart, making it somewhat shorter. It's difficult to notice unless you have two versions of the same movie (or audio file) playing side-by-side; but eventually you'll notice the PAL version being ahead of the NTSC version. Sometimes the difference is as much as a few minutes! If you find that your mp3 file is constantly out of sync with the DVD you're watching, first make sure that you've downloaded the correct format of mp3 (NTSC for Region 1, PAL for elsewhere) and then check other things, such as the DVD version (Collector's Edition, Director's Cut, etc.) is correct for that mp3 file. These details are usually found on the product page. For more information on NTSC, as well as a list of countries that use it, click here. For PAL information use this link.
There are many riffs of Twilight but this one is mine. And Twilight ain't your parents vampire movie. In fact, some may argue that it's not a vampire movie at all. It could be viewed as "The most epic Romance since Titanic"-according to Hollywood.com or it could be viewed as an instructional video for those want to make the ability to win a staring contest into a career. Then again, it could be both.
And this time Raven's Riffs has a female touch as Chris is joined by his fiance Amanda and their friend Kate. So get ready to be teleported back to high school, although I don't remember it being like this. But then again, I was asleep a lot of the time.
For a chance to win free riffs from me in the future, post a comment (good or bad) on this product page. When I release my next riff, I'll select one name from those who leave feedback and send them the new release free of charge. (I'm not promising any release dates, or titles but I do promise to keep making riffs.) Thanks for checking it out.

How to make people laugh recipe:
Take crappy angst ridden teen cashcow of the moment, sprinkle on some Raven's Riffs, stick it in the DVD player for a couple of hours and enjoy. I loved this iRiff, it was my first experience with Raven's Riffs and having already seen the official Rifftrax version(which I loved as well) I wasn't sure if I could stomach this film again. Raven's Riffs did a top notch job making this an incredible journey for me, the jokes didn't hit far from home either, especially that Cliff Hangers reference, I love The Price Is Right and I completely lost it during that part. That was comedy gold right there, it was worth watching the whole crapping thing again just for that one joke alone. You all did an excellent job and I look forward to more of your riffs in the future.
Pleasantly surprised
I promised I'd buy one of your riffs and so I finally gave in and bought this one along with the rifftrax one. The rifftrax one was incredibly good and so I figured I was gonna find the iRiff disappointing. After I gave it a chance I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Quite a few really good lines and a few observations Mike/Kevin/Bill missed. As far as criticisms....hmm....I would say work on not having too many weak lines. There were a few that were really obvious and not very funny. Of course you had more than enough good lines to make up for it but the small number of weak ones did stand out. The other thing I can think of is a few times Revan like when you were doing the Indian-Amish thing for example, you didn't sound sincere. It'd be funnier if you said it in a way that made us think that you REALLY thought that. Your girl was much better at that actually. But other than a few weak spots and work on your voice-acting this was great. I give this a 4, but its a very strong 4 ;) .
iRiff -- Twilight (Raven)
On par with and in places this was better than the official. I hope all who bought the official has bought or will buy this. The three of you did a FANTASTIC job, and some of the added audio (not the riffing), made for a more enriched experience. This movie cannot be hated on enough. Thank you all for doing this!
Now I have to buy this "movie"
WELL DONE! Great chemistry, good audio quality and a wide spectrum of riffing topics make this a must have Iriff! I don't want to ruin any of the great jokes, but I will say that your comments about this vampire "movie" leading up to the prom was CLASSIC! All around you left me very impressed and I will check out your future works, keep up the great work.
My first iRiff
This is the first iRiff I've bought and I have to say that it was well worth it. Really funny stuff. What you did in the movie when he took her up the mountain sun totally caused me to blow soda out my nose. Haven't done that in a long time.
Truly a great job on this!
Good stuff, best of the Twilight iRiffs.
I thought that, among the three iRiffs, this one was the best. I thought the sound quality was good; I could hear the riffers clearly without much alteration to the track (I think I may have amplified it, that's all). Hard to remember my favorite lines (this is a problem with regular Rifftrax too), but here are a few.
“A town of 3000 in the center of Washington state has the diversity of Tatooine?”
“I think he needs a chillaxative.”
“Is that a vampire bat?”
All in all, I find it on par in both audio quality and content quality with a regular Rifftrax.
Best Iriff ever!
Granted, I've only bought about ten so far, but this is far and away the best one I've heard yet!
Team Edward? No, Team Raven!
Fantastic riff! This movie deserved every riff you made.
Awesome
Just finally finished it. Loved it. I thought the addition of the two female riffers really complemented the target movie. And i loved Raven's teenage girl freakout when Hairgel Head Vampire Dude finally makes he appearance. Overall, great track. Worth the time and money. DL Now!!!!
PAL version added.
I just wanted to let you know that I've uploaded a PAL version of the riff. I don't have any way of checking it out so if you are interested in testing it for me please email me at ravensriffs@charter.net and I can hook you up with the files. Thanks to all those who have left feedback. Glad we could make you laugh.
What We've Been Waiting For
My wife has been waiting for a riff on this movie since she saw it. Four books read in 2 weeks, waiting for the movie, and then....THIS?
An accomplishment worthy of the Riff Masters. Our stomachs still hurt from laughting.
Thanks!
Good God, what a horrid movie
Seriously, this was some teen angst, self-absorbed nonesense!
The riffing was first rate..... the first joke ("Darwin Award") set the riff off on a good tone. The chemistry of the riffers really came out on the the track. There were many laugh out loud moments and if you listen to the track more than once, you will notice jokes you did not really notice the first time.
Raven's Riffs - Twilight
Awesome! Made an otherwise flawed movie worth watching!
This riff made got me to sit through Twilight
Really isn't that all you need to know?
Buy it and then force a Twilight fan to watch it.
