RIP to Horror Icon Scott Spiegel, Co-Writer of ‘Evil Dead II’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-17 08:30:37

You might not immediately recognize the name Scott Spiegel, but if you—like most horror fans—are a sworn devotee of the legendary splatter comedy Evil Dead II, you are well familiar with his work. Spiegel, who passed away this week at age 67, co-wrote that film with a buddy of his since high school: director Sam Raimi. He had also acted in Within the Woods, Raimi’s proof-of-concept that later helped him make the first Evil Dead. Spiegel’s other credits include co-writing the Clint Eastwood thri

This Electric Shaver Is Made From Aircraft-Grade Aluminium, Because Why Not?

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-17 11:04:35

Nothing says “premium” like aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, am I right? I guess. I don’t know, it sounds fancy and it looks fancy, too, which makes Laifen’s new electric shaver, the T1 Pro, the swankiest electric shaver I’ve seen all day. The T1 Pro, which was announced at IFA 2025, is apparently crafted with “a single block of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy,” which makes this over-engineered shaver both light and very durable, according to Laifen.

Should AI Get Legal Rights?

In the often strange world of AI research, some people are exploring whether the machines should be able to unionize. I’m joking, sort of. In Silicon Valley, there’s a small but growing field called model welfare, which is working to figure out whether AI models are conscious and deserving of moral considerations, such as legal rights.
