An Odd Trio of ‘Halloween’ Movies Is Returning to Theaters

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-22 21:00:06

The latest movies to come back to theaters are the Halloween franchise, which makes sense since it’s spooky season. But instead of just the original film or the more recent trilogy, we’re getting three installments that’ve been surprisingly grouped together. Along with the original 1978 Halloween, both Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers are also coming back to the big screen. The trio’s cinematic return comes courtesy of Trancas International

Of many, many breakout moments in Andor‘s first season, the passionate posthumous manifesto of Alex Lawther’s Karis Nemik providing the backdrop for Cassian’s return home remains one of the series’ standouts—perhaps only matched when the recording made a surprise return in the show’s second and final season, spreading the message of the Rebellion like a fire across the galaxy.

A New Island Has Popped Up in Alaska

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-26 09:50:04

Glaciers along the coastal plain of southeastern Alaska are rapidly retreating, spilling meltwater into expanding proglacial lakes. One such lake—fed by the receding Alsek Glacier—has grown so much that it transformed a small mountain into a new island. The Alsek Glacier once enveloped this rocky mound—known as Prow Knob—near its terminus. Over the past 40 years, both of the glacier’s arms have retreated more than 3 miles (5 kilometers), creating Alsek Lake. Landsat images captured in 1984 and

New dinosaur species is the punk rock version of an ankylosaur

Ankylosaurs, with their squat, armored bodies and bizarre, weaponized tails, are an iconic group of dinosaurs. While there were plenty of species present in the Cretaceous, they're thought to have origins that trace back to the Jurassic. It has been hard to say much about those origins, however, because the fossil evidence was so sparse. One of the earliest potential ankylosaur species, Spicomellus, was known from only a single partial rib; others are known only by jaw fragments or teeth. Now,
