How San Francisco's Castro is hoping to bring back its legendary Halloween celebration
San Francisco's Castro district is hoping to reclaim its place as the city's Halloween hub by reviving a long-dormant tradition — this time with a modern twist. Organizers plan to host a special edition of the monthly Castro Night Market on Oct. 31, again transforming the historic LGBTQ+ neighborhood into a festive nighttime celebration on Halloween. 'The last couple of years, Civic Joy Fund has pushed to bring Halloween festivities back to the Castro — a neighborhood where San Franciscans have traditionally celebrated the holiday — in a safe, joyful way that supports small businesses in the neighborhood,' a spokesperson for the nonprofit said Monday, Aug. 11. The night market, typically held on the third Friday of each month, will shift to Halloween this year, as the calendar brings the holiday to a fifth Friday. Organizers hope to expand the event's footprint along 18th Street and include live entertainment stages, pending city approval. The effort follows years of scaled-back Halloween activity in the Castro after a series of violent incidents, including a mass shooting in 2006, led city officials to shut down the legendary street party. The tradition began in 1948 with a children's festival hosted by Cliff's Variety and grew into one of San Francisco's most prominent LGBTQ+ events by the 1970s. Since 2023, the neighborhood has seen a more subdued but growing return of Halloween celebrations, supported by merchant grants and community groups, including the Civic Joy Fund — the nonprofit, co-founded by Manny Yekutiel, owner of Manny's café in the Mission, and Mayor Daniel Lurie, to revitalize San Francisco's commercial corridors. Permitting and programming details are still in progress, but organizers are optimistic. 'Our partners at CG Events are currently working on the permitting for the event, so nothing is set in stone as of yet,' the spokesperson added.

William ‘Furious' Over Andrew's ‘Rude' Comment Toward Kate Amid Reports He Wants His Uncle ‘Banished' From the Family
The real reason for Prince William and Prince Andrew's rumored feud has finally been revealed, and it has to do with Andrew's alleged 'rude' comment toward William's wife, Kate Middleton. According to Andrew Lownie's bombshell book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, William has had a 'tense' relationship with his uncle since his 2014 sex trafficking lawsuit and connection to convicted sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell started to affect the reputation of the British royal family. More from StyleCaster William Made a Big Demand For His Cousin's Wedding After Learning Harry Was Also Invited-His Brother Is 'Beneath' Him Sarah Ferguson Cheated on Prince Andrew After She Discovered His Affair With 'More Than 12 Women'-She Was 'Really Hurt'However, things went from bad to worse when Andrew made an alleged 'rude' comment toward Kate, though the details of what he said weren't revealed. The book also reported that William has been trying for years to get Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, evicted from the Royal Lodge, the 30-room mansion the former couple live in on the Windsor Castle grounds. A source told Lownie that William wants to evict Andrew because he believes his uncle hasn't maintained the property and it's fallen into a state of disrepair over the past year. '[William] also loathes Sarah, Andrew's ex-wife, and can't wait for the day when his father throws them both out. If Charles doesn't, I guarantee you the first thing William does when he eventually becomes king is to get them evicted,' the source said. Rumors of a feud between William and Andrew have swirled for years, however, royal fans took notice when William, Kate, and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—were missing from the royal family's Easter Sunday service at St George's Chapel in April 2025, which Andrew made a rare appearance at. 'William has no time for his uncle. This Easter was about spending time with his own family, but he would far prefer a situation where he doesn't have to spend time with him,' a source told The Mirror at the time. Another insider added, 'The Duke seems to be in the habit of being a significant contributor of headaches for the family and many have run out of patience with him.' News of Andrew's alleged 'rude' comment toward Kate also comes after British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News in May 2025 that William plans to exile Andrew once he becomes king after harboring a 'grudge against his disgraced uncle' for a long time. 'Prince William has long had a strained and distant relationship with Andrew,' Fordwich said of William's plans once he takes the crown after his father, King Charles, either steps down or dies 'Andrew's future within the royal family is beyond bleak, since Prince William is firmly opposed to any public rehabilitation with no foreseeable path back. He wants Andrew to vanish from public view.'

Disney Almost Used AI as a Character in TRON
Disney's upcoming sci-fi sequel Tron: Ares almost leaned harder into its futuristic themes by literally using artificial intelligence as a character in the film. According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, early in development Disney explored the idea of using generative AI to power an animated character named Bit. This AI-driven sidekick would've interacted in real time with Jeff Bridges, who returns to the franchise. The concept was that a writer would feed information into the AI during scenes, and the character, voiced by an actor, would generate on-the-spot dialogue in response to Bridges' character. The experiment was rooted in the film's plot, which centers on an AI soldier crossing over into the real world. Executives thought it'd be fitting to reflect that theme within the filmmaking itself. However, that crazy idea didn't make it past the planning phase. At the time, Disney was deep in negotiations with Hollywood's writers and actors unions. With tensions high and industry discussions around AI already sparking heated debate, Disney opted to abandon the plan to avoid stirring any additional controversy. As the report puts it, executives were warned internally not to risk 'bad publicity' around the AI concept. I think that might've been kinda cool and interesting, though. The film is directed by Joachim Rønning, known for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil , Young Woman and the Sea , and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales . The script comes from Jesse Wigutow. Tron: Ares is set to hit theaters on October 10, 2025, and features a stacked cast including Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, Jeff Bridges, and Sarah Desjardins. As the third official installment in the Tron franchise following Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy (2010), Tron: Ares is shaping up to continue the series' legacy of exploring the edge where technology meets humanity.
