Vampires have been popular on the silver screen ever since they burst onto film in 1922 with Nosferatu. Over the last 100+ years, myriad vampire flicks have stolen the hearts of audiences, from The Lost Boys to Abigail. Novelist Anne Rice's vampires have always been wickedly popular -- in particular because of the Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt blockbuster Interview With a Vampire -- but there is more to her world than just Louis and Lestat's story.

The Polestar 5 electric sedan makes its world debut

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-12 02:00:49

Today, Polestar debuted its newest model. Just as three is followed by four, next in the series comes five—in this case the Polestar 5. And the new EV is a little departure from the products we've seen so far from this Swedish/Chinese startup. It's a handsome if angular sedan that, like the Polestar 4 SUV, eschews a rear window in favor of more headroom for passengers and a rear-view camera.

Mads Mikkelsen Reunites With ‘Hannibal’ Creator Bryan Fuller to Slay Monsters in ‘Dust Bunny’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-12 10:25:53

We may never get another season of Hannibal, but there’s some comfort to be found in Dust Bunny, Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller‘s feature directorial debut—which just so happens to star Dr. Lecter himself, Mads Mikkelsen. He plays a hired killer who befriends his young neighbor after she loses her family; she believes a monster did it, but he’s got an equally scary, more real-world idea of the culprit.

F1 in Italy: Look what happens when the downforce comes off

Formula 1 held its Italian Grand Prix at Monza this past weekend. It's the third-oldest purpose-built racetrack on the planet, and even includes an old and rather dangerous-looking oval that, while no longer in use, is accessible on foot if you feel like exploring. It's a deceptively simple-looking track where it's all about top speed, and nailing your braking into the four heavy deceleration zones. Downforce is actually an impediment here, and that means the pecking order that we have become fa

Why Your Office Chair Should Have Lumbar Support

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-10-12 22:00:00

Office chairs with lumbar support have been around for decades, but it has largely been relegated to high-end seats. That's no longer the case. Lumbar support is a standard feature on most office chairs these days, even budget models. Often it's included, but you may have to pay a small fee to add it on. But is having lumbar support really worth it? Unless you have perfect posture, the lumbar spine is the area in your lower back that needs help. A standard office chair may not follow the natura

Are bad incentives to blame for AI hallucinations?

Also known as Viking chess, hnefatafl is a board game in which a centrally located king is attacked from all sides. The game wasn’t exclusive to the Vendels—people across northern Europe faced off over the gridded board from at least 400 BCE until the 18th century. But
