SAVE $48: As of June 23, you can get the Star Wars Lego Imperial Star Destroyer for $111.99 at Amazon. That's a 30% discount.
Opens in a new window Credit: Lego Star Wars Lego Imperial Star Destroyer $111.99 at AmazonOne of the joys for big kids during Prime Deal is the sheer number of deals on Lego. Seriously, we can't wait to see which sets and models are included in Amazon sale events. I was particularly excited to see a deal on the Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer, which I happen to be halfway through building myself right now.
As of June 23, the Star Wars Lego Imperial Star Destroyer is down to $111.99, which means a saving of $48 from the regular list price of $159.99. According to price tracer camelcamelcamel, it's this Lego set's best-ever price.
Look, I'll admit it, I'm biased — I haven't come across a Lego Star Wars set I didn't like. But this one's especially cool. Coming with all the might of the Galactic Empire — not to mention seven mini-figures — it's one of the most iconic ship designs in the entire Star Wars saga.
It's also a large set, meaning you get lots of brick for your buck during Prime Day. Let's just say the Force is very strong indeed at this price.

VidCon is back at the Anaheim Convention Center from June 25 to 27, and this year, the internet’s biggest creator convention turns 15.
What started in 2010 as a YouTube-centered gathering by John and Hank Green, Vidcon has become one of the largest annual meetups for online culture, bringing together creators, fans, platforms, brands, and media companies under one roof. The event now spans creator panels, meet-and-greets, live podcasts, workshops, community meetups, industry programming, and conversations about where the creator economy is headed next.
SEE ALSO: What is VidCon? Everything to know about the 2026 creator conventionThe 2026 event arrives at a moment when creator culture is bigger, more fragmented, and more professionalized than ever. TikTok stars, livestreamers, podcasters, gamers, educators, entrepreneurs, and independent media companies now all fall under the same broad creator economy umbrella, and this year’s schedule reflects that shift.
Here are seven things I’m especially excited for.
1. The Hall of Fame's second class is stackedNow in its second year, VidCon’s Hall of Fame gives creator culture a more formal way to recognize its own history.
This year’s inductees are content creators Markiplier, Michelle Phan, Cassey Ho, and Philip DeFranco, who represent the gaming, independent news, beauty, and fitness content lanes.
SEE ALSO: Markiplier, Michelle Phan, and more join VidCon's Hall of FameTheir induction, taking place Thursday, June 25 at the Opening Ceremony, follows VidCon's inaugural 2025 Hall of Fame class, which included Anthony Padilla, Grace Helbig, Hank Green, and Tyler Oakley.
2. The lineup spans almost every corner of the internetThis year's featured creator lineup brings together legacy YouTubers, short-form stars, animators, beauty creators, gamers, performers, and internet personalities who built audiences in very different eras of the web.
Confirmed names include SSSniperwolf, The Professor, Sydney Morgan, Alex Wassabi, GloZell, Rosanna Pansino, Jasmin and James, and Tubbo.
3. The Expo Hall is getting a glow-upThe Expo Hall has always been where VidCon feels the most like the internet came to life, and this year, it is getting a bigger experiential push.
The 2026 Expo Hall includes exhibit booths, a Game Zone, a Sport Court, a Live Podcast Studio, Community Zone programming, Featured Creator booths, ShopSpot, Makers’ Alley, Out of the Box IRL, and the Creator TV Pickleball Arena.
There is also an entire section for GorillaCon, a dedicated space for the Gorilla Tag virtual reality game community that goes well beyond a standard gaming activation. The programming includes Gorilla Tag creator meet-and-greets, developer AMAs, music from a MixMaster Monke DJ, and sessions with Lemming, the creator of Gorilla Tag, including a look at the game's future.
4. Sports and creator culture are officially collidingOne of the most interesting parts of this year's programming is the focus on the convergence of sports media and the creator economy — especially amid the current hype around the FIFA World Cup and the 2026 NBA Finals.
One event includes a Sport Court, a Creator TV Pickleball Arena, and a Creator Pickleball Tour featuring names like NichLmao, ZHC, Peet Montzingo, and Austin Sprinz. VidCon is also staging creator competition formats like Shoot for the CROWN, GeoGuessr Battle, and Creator Casino.
5. The platform execs are worth watchingVidCon has always been a place where fans go to see creators, but the industry side is where you can see what platforms are really prioritizing.
This year’s speaker lineup includes executives from Twitch, Snap, Spotify, Pinterest, and Tubi, with Twitch CEO Dan Clancy set to speak on the Industry Mainstage about the future of live content. Creator economy expert Jon Youshaei is also hosting the opening day keynote, with additional speakers from major platforms expected.
There will also be panels titled names like "The Vertical Shorts Dilemma — Bubble or Boom?" and "Creator Economy State of the Union." These conversations are sure to act as temperature checks on the companies shaping platforms right now, from the top down.
6. Some of the biggest fan moments will happen offstageMeet-and-greets remain one of VidCon's main fan draws, and this year they are split between standard Meet & Greets and separate Ultimate Meet & Greet Experiences. Eligible multi-day pass holders could sign up in advance, with VidCon, Creator, and Pro Pass holders allowed up to 4 Meet & Greets total and VidCon+ Pass holders allowed up to 5 (single-day tickets are not eligible for Meet & Greet signups). The lineup includes some of the event’s more recognizable names.
7. The networking options go beyond the usual mixersBeyond the mainstage panels and fan-facing events, VidCon is also emphasizing smaller networking formats. The Mentorship Series gives Creator and Pro Pass attendees access to first-come, first-served roundtables capped at 19 people, where attendees can ask questions and get advice from creators, marketers, tech experts, and other industry speakers. (Mashable will be hosting its own mentorship session, titled "PITCH, PLEASE: The mistakes creators make in their pitches and how to fix them," on Saturday, June 27, at 10:30 a.m. PT.)
There is also the Brand Match Accelerator, an invitation-only program for brands, agencies, and sponsors that connects them with a curated group of 200 creators. Accepted participants get access to a networking app and are guaranteed four on-site meetings with Featured Creators.
Fifteen years in, opportunities like this are what still make VidCon interesting: it's one of the few places where fans, creators, platforms, and brands all show up to see what online culture looks like...but off-screen.
SAVE $201: As of June 23, the Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are down to $198 at Amazon. That’s a 50% discount on over-ear ANC headphones with 30-hour battery life.
Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony XM5 Noise Canceling Headphones $198 at AmazonPrime Day has finally kicked off, and the Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are down to $198 at Amazon, reduced from $399.99. That’s a $201.99 discount and a record-low price since launch on Sony’s over-ear ANC headphones — a very rare chance to get them this cheap.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones cut down background noise using multiple microphones that work together and adjust based on where you are and how you’re wearing them. This helps keep outside sounds like traffic, chatter, or office noise reduced while keeping what you’re listening to clear and steady.

DJI may have made a name for itself with its consumer drones, but it's become a serious force in the creator industry.
When it comes to upgrading your content creation kit without spending thousands of dollars (a surprisingly easy task), DJI is a good place to start. Products aren't dirt cheap, but they're also not the biggest investments you could possibly make. At that Goldilocks sweet spot, they're still built to last and flexible enough for many different content setups and changing needs.
There is, however, one bigger catch with the brand: their products aren't always easily available, but more on that below.
SEE ALSO: VidCon 2026: Everything new this yearThe Mashable team has tested a sampling of DJI products over the year, so with availability and one of the online creator industry's biggest events of the year coming up, we rounded up the best DJI products that content creators should know about.
Best for audio: DJI Mic MiniI brought the DJI Mic Mini to VidCon 2025, tested it for a few weeks afterward, and I can confirm: this tiny mic packs a punch. The 24-bit depth is impressively resonant and clear, even in situations where the environment doesn't bode well for clear audio (like next to a noisy street, in an echoey convention hall, or around crowds of chatting people).
In all of those situations, the Mic Mini excelled at capturing clear vocals without peaking or muddled audio, making backend edits a much more pleasant experience. Its size also means it's easy to take on the go, charging case and all, or to be minimally distracting when clipped to clothing. Speaking of, you can use the included clip or magnet backing to put it in the best possible spot.
In addition to the clips, one transmitter, and two receivers, the kit also includes four windscreens, a charging cable, a type-C adapter for your device, and a carrying case. With the charging case, you get up to 48 hours of audio, which bests other mini mics on the market. The main flaw of this mic is that it's not Bluetooth compatible and it doesn't have any built-in storage. At $99, or frequently $79 on sale, it's a great value — and certainly easier to pick up than the Mic Mini 2, which isn't yet available in the United States.
Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Mic Mini $99.99 at Best BuyWe spotted the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 again and again at VidCon 2025. And though the creator-favorite isn't exactly new (it came out in 2023), it's stood the test of time for a reason.
The camera comes in two iterations: the Standard Combo and the Creator Combo. If you don't already have an audio setup, Mashable's Timothy Werth recommended springing for the Creator Combo in his review of the camera, as it comes with a DJI Mic 2 and a tripod battery attachment that gives you more flexibility in where and how long you can record. It costs $629.99, which is $130 more than the Standard's $499, but considering the DJI Mic 2 system on its own costs $199, the price difference makes sense.
In addition to offering a full package of gear, the Osmo Pocket 3 lets ease be the guiding force of the user experience. Werth reported that he was able to use his Apple ID to sign into the DJI app, and once logged in, he was able to connect to the camera and all its peripherals with ease via Bluetooth. The camera records in 4K at 120fps and features three-axis mechanical stabilization and a two-inch rotating touchscreen. In other words, it captures a crystal-clear picture that's not shaky, delivers great audio, and can be filmed easily for vertical or horizontal video. And it features easily adjustable auto tracking, so you don't have to keep your arm fixed or choose just the right spot to set it up. Per charge, you'll get 166 minutes of battery life, and all told, the camera weighs less than a pound.
The main cons are the price and the need to purchase a microSD card separately, since it has no built-in storage. Still, for all that you do get, both are reasonable trade-offs.
Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo $629 at Best BuyI just spent a few hundred words singing the praises of the Osmo Pocket 3, so it might seem a little confusing to see the next-gen device as the next recommendation on this list.
Well, for two reasons. One, any current Osmo Pocket 3 owners probably don't need to upgrade — the improvements here are more iterative, making this a solid device for someone who's yet to invest in a gimbal camera, but not necessarily everyone in the market for one. "If you were hoping for a massive overhaul from the previous one, something that will revolutionize your filming, this probably isn't it," CNET Editor at Large Andrew Lanxon shared in a first impression livestream of the camera.
Then there's the second reason. DJI revealed the new Osmo Pocket 4 back in April, with a pretty significant catch: it wouldn't be available in the United States due to a still-pending FCC approval.
So why include it at all? Maybe you have an overseas hookup for your tech, in which case this camera has a big thing going for it: the built-in storage. You may have noticed, but most devices that require some sort of memory component have increased in price over the past year (thank AI data centers for that one). That means the cost of buying microSD cards could only be going up, in which case, 100GB of built-in storage is a pretty sweet feature. Lanxon called it out as his favorite upgrade on the camera over the Pocket 3.
Other updates include a dynamic range sensor, better low-light performance, and improved battery life. If you do manage to get your hands on it, the Creator Combo will cost about $687, and the Standard Combo will cost about $551.

Whether you're a fan or content creator, on the floor at VidCon would definitely fall into that bucket. The best way to avoid fighting for an outlet when you could be grabbing some vlog content? A portable charger.
SEE ALSO: Why VidCon still matters in 2026That said, this is VidCon. Sure, a lot of people use their phones to film content, but it's also plenty common to have a vlogging camera or even a laptop to keep charged. That means the random one you got seven years ago may not cut it.
Luckily, we've stress tested the ones that will. In addition to trying out some portable chargers myself, I've also called on the Mashable team for their tried and true. The result? These top three portable chargers, worthy of being used at VidCon. Yes, all of them are from Anker, but hey, the brand knows how to balance power and value.
House of the Dragon Season 3 sees some characters catapulted back into the action while others wait in the woods.
The latter, in episode 1, applies to our Westeros odd couple, Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) and Gwayne Hightower (Freddie Fox), a pair who couldn't have a more contrasting attitude to The Times if they tried. The mission? Wait for Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) to show up on his colossal dragon Vhagar and take the crumbling castle of Harrenhal from Team Black. But where the hell are they?
SEE ALSO: 'House of the Dragon' may be hiding Daeron Targaryen in plain sightOn one hand, Cole's really going through it. The traumatised Lord Commander fatalistically wallows in the "doom and ruin" surrounding him, especially after the massacre that was Rook's Rest in Season 2. It's a very different Cole from the man we first met in the very first season, who found himself swept up in court politics, heartbreak, and ended up covered in blood. At the start of Season 3, he's all nihilism.
"He's on the road, all of his stuff is so isolated, so you're not dealing with so much plot," Frankel told Mashable. "First two seasons, especially in the Small Council...that stuff is so dense material-wise. It takes so long to shoot and it's almost always plot, which needs to happen, but it's not massively about character development in that sense."
Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel). Credit: Ollie Upton / HBOOn the other hand, we've got Gwayne, a knight of House Hightower, and a man of principles with big Rob Stark energy. And as the troops wait, he's constantly asking his Lord Commander to be a good manager, to keep his men in line.
"It's very difficult, they have such opposing views on how to see this war out, and when you're second-in-command to someone who has, in some sense, got a death wish, you've got this load on your back, and you don't know how to shift out from under it," Fox told Mashable. "Especially if you're trained in the school of honor, and respecting that hierarchy that Gwayne would have obviously grown up around. Do you break your principles to honor, or do you go, 'we just have to survive'? It's a rock and a hard place.
"He's obviously been schooled in the way that knights would have been trained in a training ground — jousting and all of that stuff — and when it comes up against actual war, an almost nuclear holocaust style of war that the dragons represent, it's a really sobering, immediate maturing. He realises that if, unless I am ultra responsible, there's no way through here for anybody, least of all, my men, who I am responsible for."
Gwayne Hightower (Freddie Fox). Credit: Ollie Upton / HBOHow will they sort it out this season? Time will tell — especially if Aemond doesn't get here soon.
For all things House of the Dragon, Mashable has you covered.
Featured Video For You 'House of the Dragon' cast on Season 3's colossal Battle of the GulletDonald Trump's recent deal with Iran has been met with criticism from both sides of the aisle — and speaking in his monologue on Monday, Jimmy Kimmel wasted no time in joining in with the naysayers.
"The deal is Iran gets billions of dollars and then we'll talk about a deal. It's a deal to make a deal," says Kimmel. "They still haven't even gotten into the details of the nuclear stuff, which is interesting because three months ago, Trump wrote, 'No deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" Little did we know he meant it was ours.
"So in the end, after all of this, Trump's answer to the questions, 'Who did you go to war with?' and 'How did it end?' will be the same answer: 'I-Ran.'"

SAVE $90: As of June 23, you can get the DJI Mini 4K drone for $209 at Amazon, down from $299. That's a 30% discount or $90 savings.
DJI Mini 4K $209 at AmazonIf you want to get into drones but don't want to drop $500-plus on a premium rig, the DJI Mini 4K is a budget-friendly option worth considering.
It normally hovers (ha) around $299, but Amazon just dropped it to $209 for Prime Day — making it the best value you can get right now for a traditional, controller-bound DJI setup. It's also the lowest price we've seen it go for since its 2024 debut. (Want to save even more? The DJI Neo is $139.)
The DJI Mini 4K features a true 4K Ultra HD camera mounted on a mechanical 3-axis gimbal (cheaper knockoff drones use digital image stabilization, which looks shaky and amateurish), so if you're into aerial photography or need to take some product shots for your job, this is the way to do it. It's also super beginner-friendly; it has pre-programmed "QuickShots" (like Helix, Dronie, and Boomerang) that track a subject and film cinematic movements, and an automatic GPS Return-to-Home if you lose signal.
Bonus perk: It weighs under 249 grams, so you don't have to register it with the FAA or deal with Remote ID requirements for recreational use. You can literally open the box, charge it up, and start flying safely.

In House of the Dragon Season 3, we find the once proud Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) in an even worse state than we left him in Season 2.
We've seen "the usurper" essentially dragged to the Iron Throne by his mother, where he terrorised the staff of Red Keep. We've seen him married to his sister Helaena (Phia Saban), endure the violent loss of a child, and execute an entire King's Landing profession in retaliation. He's a Targaryen who lost his dragon, Sunfyre, in the Battle at at Rook's Rest and he's been mercilessly burned by Vhagar probably thanks to his brother Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), who now rules in his stead as prince regent.
It's a lot.
SEE ALSO: 'House of the Dragon' may be hiding Daeron Targaryen in plain sightNow, a panicked and persuaded Aegon has fled the capital and gone undercover, trundling through enemy territory in a bird cart with the diabolical Larys Strong (Matthew Needham). And he's in despair, to put it lightly. "I am the king of nothing, with raven shit for a throne," Aegon declares in characteristically verbose hilarity in episode 1, and he's not entirely wrong.
"He likes to lament," Glynn-Carney told Mashable. "He is really in his pit of self pity and wallowing in it. Eventually you can see that that really grates on Larys — and it would do if that's your journey partner and all they do is moan."
"He likes to lament." Credit: Ollie Upton / HBOIn episode 1, however, we see a glimmer of pride still clinging to Aegon, when he and Larys are apprehended by guards loyal to Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy). Unlike his road buddy, who plunges that knee to the ground and offers up Aegon's crown, the king refuses to kneel and denounce the usurper (that's him).
"Originally it was in the script that he kneeled straight away, and I was like, no, he wouldn't do that. He'd be defiant and get himself in a lot of trouble," said Glynn-Carney. "But I think that's what's important to hold on to with Aegon. He's in a situation now where his status is out the window, and he's lowest of the low, but there needs to be — and what we achieved, I think, in the end — is that tiny thread still hanging on to pride.
"You know, the line in Season 2 where he says, 'Fuck dignity, I want revenge.' Actually, he doesn't want to fuck dignity, he wants his dignity back at this point, because he totally lost it."
For all things House of the Dragon, Mashable has you covered.

I'm Mashable's tech editor, and I love my job. I get to test the coolest new tech products before anyone else, and I basically get paid to nerd out over the latest noise-cancelling headphones, smart glasses, and laptops.

On day one of Prime Day, you can save 50% on the Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones. While the brand's flagship QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) headphones are on sale for $70 off, we're hoping prices will go lower on those particular cans.

For Prime Day, you can buy Kindle e-readers starting at $84.99, and the Kindle Paperwhite — our most-recommended Kindle and the one I use personally — is back to its record-low price of $124.99.

If you've been waiting for Prime Day to buy this Apple laptop, then I have good news and bad news. The good news is it's on sale for $949. The bad news: Over Memorial Day Weekend, we saw prices drop to $899. So, if you can wait a little longer, you can wait for a further price drop later in the week.

I never travel without my Anker Prime GaN wall charger, which can charge my laptop, my phone, and earbuds at the same time. If that's overkill, you can also grab Anker's most adorable wall charger with a built-in display for just $25.99 this Prime Day.

But we can recommend shopping the AirPods Max 2 headphones and AirPods 4 at the current prices. The AirPods Max 2 have never been this cheap, though there is a slight chance the AirPods 4 will get another price drop later in the week.

For creators, campers, and anyone with a safety-first mindset, these popular orange power stations keep you powered on when everyone else is off-grid. The best Prime Day tech deals always include massive savings on power stations, and this is my top pick of the sale so far.

For Prime Day 2026, you can get these cult-favorite, ultra-thin TVs on sale at Amazon for their lowest-ever price. And if you want to splurge on a Samsung OLED TV instead, you can grab the brand's award-winning S90F OLED 65-inch TV for 29% off its list price.
Please note: As of this writing, this Amazon listing incorrectly displays a picture of the more expensive The Frame Pro model.

So, if you want to enjoy Sony's premium sound and best-in-class active noise cancellation, you can pick up these headphones for under $200. You can also grab the recently released XM6 wireless earbuds for their lowest price ever.

The brand makes some of the most popular gadgets for professional content creators, and no DJI products are more popular than the TikTok-famous DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Pocket 3 gimbal camera. I've personally tested both of these devices for Mashable, and their reputation is well-deserved.

Still, you can grab these long-range trackers for $24 (or $89 for a 4-pack). However, if you really want to save, then head to Amazon-associated retailer Woot, where you can score a four-pack of the original AirTags 1 for $69.99 — while supplies last, which they won't.

That's so cheap we have to wonder if Amazon is selling it as a loss, or if the company has achieved Apple Tim Cook levels of supply chain wizardry. Either way, you can grab this Amazon brand's security cameras to protect your home inside and out.

(There aren't many reasons to pay more for the Series 11 anymore.) However, if you want to go all-out on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, this premier fitness and sleep-tracking smartwatch is on sale, also at an all-time low price.

However, if you're willing to risk it, you can score some great deals on these drones, which have professional-quality cameras but controls that are simple enough for beginners.

2026 has already been a huge year for the world of creepypasta (internet urban legends) intersecting with Hollywood. Backrooms, Kane Parsons' feature length adaptation of his own series of YouTube shorts, has brought in $300 million at the global box office in four weeks. The Third Parent, an upcoming horror movie based on Elias Witherow's Tommy Taffy short story series that went viral on Reddit's r/NoSleep sub, is due for release next January.
The question is, will another internet nightmare soon be joining their ranks? Could Siren Head, the towering monster created by artist Trevor Henderson, be the next creepypasta to get the movie treatment? Nothing is confirmed yet — but if you look closely, there are clues.
SEE ALSO: 'Backrooms' review: Does the online creepypasta make a good full-length movie? What is Siren Head?In a nutshell, Siren Head is a monster the height of a telegraph pole that's capable of blending into its surroundings while it hunts human prey. It was created by Henderson back in 2018, after a follower called Cally sent him an image of a graveyard framed against a blue sky. At this point Henderson was quickly building his social media by drawing monsters that he'd splice into photos. He liked Cally's image, and tried to draw something that he thought would look scary standing among the tombstones. Just like that, Siren Head was born.
"I was just drawing a long, emaciated figure, and I just had the idea to put a siren for its head because a) that noise has always terrified me, and b) I've always been kind of obsessed with the idea of numbers stations," Henderson told Mashable back in 2022. "Numbers stations are these radio broadcasts that are constantly playing — and no-one can identify their origins or what they're supposed to accomplish — that are just weird snippets of music, and strange voices saying odd number combinations. There's a lot of theories that they're like old Russian spy channels that have been abandoned and are still counting out codes."
Credit: Trevor HendersonIt's difficult to overstate just how popular Siren Head has become in the years since Henderson shared that first image. It was a slow burn initially, but when YouTuber Markiplier — who recently had his own feature film success with Iron Lung — started talking about the monster on his channel in early 2020, millions of people tuned in.
The thing is now all over the internet. Siren Head-inspired content has millions of views on TikTok and YouTube. There are multiple unofficial Siren Head games on Steam and merchandise on Amazon (much of which has been created without Henderson's knowledge or permission).
"The internet just kind of takes stuff," Henderson said. "And there's not a lot you can do, really, especially when a character blows up like Siren Head did. It kind of stops becoming yours, in some ways, and starts becoming everyone's."
Is a Siren Head movie in the works?Speculation around a possible movie adaptation has been ramping up over the past week. There's been a couple of reasons for this. First, Henderson has started posting frequently about the creature again on Instagram.
By itself, this isn't that unusual. Although Henderson has created hundreds of monsters, Siren Head is a favorite that pops up now and then. But it's worth noting that the frequency of his posts has dialled up — there have been a handful over the last week alone, including some found footage-style Reels featuring the creature's trademark siren call.
What's even more intriguing, though, is who's been commenting on these posts.
View this post on InstagramBeneath the above image, which Henderson posted about a week ago, movie producer Scott Glassgold replied with several eyes emoji. Glassgold, who founded production company 12:01 Films, is a big name in the horror movie space, particularly when it comes to adaptations based on viral internet urban legends (he's previously been involved in a number of deals, including stories that originally started on Reddit).
Credit: InstagramGlassgold's comment didn't go unnoticed. A commenter asked him directly about the possibility of a Siren Head movie in response, to which he replied with three slightly cryptic siren emoji. Henderson himself then responded to Glassgold with a little megaphone. Mashable reached out to Glassgold to ask about the possibility of a film, and his response was just as cryptic. "I'm a huge fan of Trevor's and will be first in line to see anything he does," Glassgold said.
Henderson, when asked about the potential for a movie, also didn't give much away. “I'd be delighted," he told Mashable. "I think Siren Head has a lot of potential to be expanded into a film, but we’ll have to see. Either way, it makes me very happy that people still respond positively to the creature design in 2026."
Credit: Instagram Credit: InstagramSo, what does it all mean? Well so far, there have been no official announcements and this is all speculative. But Glassgold's comments — plus the fact he's been sharing Henderson's recent Siren Head Reels — seem too deliberate to be chalked up to mere coincidence.
Here's hoping the creepypasta-to-movie pipeline gets a telegraph pole-sized extension in the near future.

SAVE $1,300: As of June 23, the Jackery HomePower 3600 Pro Max portable power station is on sale for $1,699 at Amazon. That's down from $2,999.
Opens in a new window Credit: Jackery Jackery HomePower 3600 Pro Max $1,699 at AmazonPrime Day is finally here, and the Jackery HomePower 3600 Pro Max portable power station is on sale for $1,699 at Amazon. That’s a $1,300 discount, or 43% off, bringing this home backup power system down to a much more accessible price for outages and emergencies.
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Pro Max is set up to act more like a fixed home power system than a simple portable backup. It can be connected through a manual transfer setup and is designed to support household-level power needs during outages without a complicated install process.
Once the power goes out, it switches over super quickly — fast enough that everyday devices like laptops or WiFi routers keep running without restarting. That matters if you’re working from home or relying on connected devices that can’t afford sudden shutdowns.
It delivers 120-volt and 240-volt power from a single unit and can expand with extra capacity if needed, so it can handle heavier home use. It also runs quietly, supports multiple ways to recharge, and is built for long-term use with a safety-focused battery design meant for repeated outages and regular backup duty.
Grab the Jackery HomePower 3600 Pro Max portable power station on Amazon before the grid gets the final say.
TL;DR: Amazon has the Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle available for $499 on Prime Day. That gets you the Switch 2 console and your choice of a digital copy of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia — saving you up to $79.99 compared to buying the console and game separately.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle $499 at AmazonAmazon's Prime Day sale has landed for Nintendo fans. Amazon already has one of the best Switch 2 bundle offers live if you’ve been waiting for a new deal before finally picking up this popular console.
As of June 23, the Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle is available at Amazon for $499. That price includes the Nintendo Switch 2 and a download code, which can be redeemed for a digital copy of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia.
That last part is important because Amazon’s Switch 2 product page lists a whole mess of extra configurations. Alongside this bundle, you can also see the standard Nintendo Switch 2 system, console and Mario Kart World bundles, console and Donkey Kong Bananza bundles, console and microSD card bundles, or other add-ons. Those aren’t all the same deal; they merely add the extra game or accessories at their standard price, with no discount.

Thanks for signing up!For this offer, you want to select the "Choose Your Game Bundle," with the configuration set to "Console Only." That may sound counterintuitive, but this is the version that includes the download code insert inside the box. You do not pick Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia on Amazon at checkout.
Instead, after your Switch 2 arrives, you redeem the included "Choose One" code through the Nintendo eShop. From there, you select which of the three games you want to download.
Mario Kart World costs $79.99 on its own. Donkey Kong Bananza and Pokémon Pokopia are each listed at $69.99 separately, so you’re effectively getting a full Nintendo release bundled in without paying the extra game price.
Mario Kart World would technically save you the most value in terms of pure price, whichever free game you pick when the time comes depends on your preference.
Mario Kart World is a fun Mario Kart game and Switch 2 launch showcase all in one, with interconnected courses, Free Roam, 24-driver races, and the Knockout Tour elimination mode. Donkey Kong Bananza is the action-heavy platformer option, built around smashing through underground environments, tearing through terrain, and exploring with DK and his new friend, Pauline.
Pokémon Pokopia is the surprising critical hit that’s also the cozier choice — letting you play as a human-like Ditto who builds up a new life with Pocket Monster friends. Think of it like a brilliant Pokémon-Animal Crossing hybrid.
Mashable has also put together a selection of wider Nintendo Switch Prime Day deals — including discounts on preorders for Starfox, controllers, and more as the sale goes on. For Pokemon fans, there are plenty of Pokemon deals we’ve selected for Prime Day as well, from trading cards and Nintendo Switch games to awesome gifts.
Mindfulness and meditation app Calm has teamed up with the opposite of tranquil, House of the Dragon, for a Season 3-promoting soundscape that sends you into King's Landing. And honestly, it sounds like a pretty chill day for the capital. Suspiciously so.
There are no Game of Thrones-worthy explosions coming from the Great Sept of Baelor, no Battle of the Blackwater hubbub, and no Targaryen queen burning the city to the ground. Even from a House of the Dragon perspective, there's no sound of starving peasants squabbling over scraps, no Aegon II-ordered ratcatcher executions, and no Daemon-ordered violence by Kingsguard on the smallfolk.
Instead, you can hear idle chatter of happy townspeople, sprinkled with tinkering sounds from a local blacksmith, a few Faith of the Seven church bells clanging away. If I were a fiction conspiracy theorist, I'd call this "everything's fine" propaganda straight from the Red Keep. Pay no attention to that blockade, folks! La la la! However, the closer we get to the castle the creepier the sounds get, and by the time we reach the dragon cellars it all gets rather echo-filled and ominous.
With such a pivot, there could be an unexpected use for Calm's soundscape.
"im definitely using this for my dnd campaign as background noise," one commenter on YouTube said. Not a bad idea.
For all things House of the Dragon, Mashable has you covered.

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.
Released in August 2025, Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.
Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move on to the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.
How to play PipsIf you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity with how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.
SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for June 23, 2026The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible — and common — for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.
Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:
Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.
Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.
Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.
Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.
Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.
If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.
