The Interview with the Vampire cast and creative team gathered for a press conference at New York Comic Con 2025 to discuss the upcoming third season of AMC’s Interview with the Vampire, newly subtitled The Vampire Lestat. The event brought together executive producer Mark Johnson, writer and executive producer Hannah Moscovitch, and stars Sam Reid (Lestat de Lioncourt), Jacob Anderson (Louis de Pointe du Lac), and Eric Bogosian (Daniel Molloy), each offering introspective glimpses into the next evolution of Anne Rice’s immortal saga. While the team remained carefully tight-lipped about major plot points, the conversation pulsed with emotional depth. Rather…

Mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday refused to say that Hamas should lay down its weapons — as he stood by his promise to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he comes to New York City. The democratic socialist also refused to credit President Trump for brokering a cease-fire in Gaza, claiming it was “too early to do so.” Mamdani, 33, went into the lion’s den for a highly anticipated interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, who pressed the vocal critic of Israel on the deal. Zohran Mamdani said it’s ‘too early’ to give Trump credit for the Gaza…

Students for Justice in Palestine, a notorious anti-Israel student organization, is calling for “death to all collaborators,” mimicking nearly word for word Hamas’ justification for carrying out a series of grotesque public executions of Palestinians accused of being disloyal to the terror group after President Trump’s peace deal. In an Instagram post Oct. 12, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) posted an image mourning the death of Saleh al-Jafarawi, a well-known influencer in Gaza who openly celebrated the Oct. 7 attack.

As Halloween draws ever closer, it’s time for what has become a bit of a Thoughts on Thinking blog tradition to post a horror/fear-associated piece. My first post in this realm of thought covered 5 Reasons We Enjoy Being Scared. In this piece, we’ll discover the “what” that makes us scared. To start, anything can be scary—and I mean anything. It just needs context. For example, clowns are not supposed to be scary. They are funny—singing, dancing, joke-telling jesters. But, if we change the context of the clown and their purpose, then it’s reasonable to understand why they’re scary. My…

The family of a teenage Israeli soldier who spent more than two years thinking he may have survived the horrors of Oct. 7, 2023, only found out that he had died when his remains were returned this week. Tamir Nimrodi’s family had their worst fears confirmed Tuesday when the 18-year-old was one of three dead Israelis returned by Hamas — along with other remains that turned out not to be a hostage. “This is the moment that we so feared, the moment I refused to believe would come,” Tamir’s father, Alon Nimrodi, told Israel’s Channel 12 in an emotional interview.…

Jason Kelce is speaking out after “fake quotes” regarding Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime show were wrongly attributed to him. In a message posted Tuesday on X, the retired Eagles center made it clear that “unless you hear something directly from me,” consider what’s being conveyed elsewhere false, as the apparent viral remarks — “If Bad Bunny is a bad fit for the Super Bowl, then maybe the people making these comments are a bad fit for America’s future” — were incorrectly pegged to Kelce, 37. “I normally don’t comment on things like this, but I feel I need…
