"Although the films were not popular with critics, Friday the 13th is considered one of the most successful media franchises in America—not only for the success of the films, but also because of the extensive merchandising and repeated references to the series in popular culture.The franchise's popularity has generated a fanbase who have created their own Friday the 13th films, fashioned replica Jason Voorhees costumes, and tattooed their bodies with Friday the 13th artwork. Jason's hockey mask has become one of the most recognizable images in horror and popular culture." Source Wikipedia

William Fowler, The Thirteen Club of New York was a group of skeptics who defied superstitions by hosting dinner parties on Friday the 13th. At the first dinner, the 13 members performed such unlucky feats as passing under a ladder. They dined on 13 courses, the first by the light of 13 candles.

Myth - If someone cuts his/her hair on Friday the 13th, someone in the family might die.

Friday the 13th is a day that lots and lots of tattoo parlors have a special. Some will do tattoos for 13 dollars. Most will have a sheet of different designs for a set price. Or a certain size for a set price. It's a tradition for a lot of people. I think it's pretty cool lol. A lot of people will get 13s somewhere in their tattoo.

Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. It occurs when the 13th day of the month in the Gregorian calendar falls on a Friday, which happens at least once every year but can occur up to three in the same year.

My parents met on Friday the 13th. They aren't very superstitious, they're still married years and years later!

(I think I actually created this mare! I'm glad to see she is being used philanthropically!)

"Very little is known about the origins of the day's notoriety. Some historians believe that the superstitions surrounding it arose in the late 19th century. The first documented mention of the day can be found in a biography of Italian composer Gioachino Rossini, who died on a Friday 13th. A 1907 book, Friday the Thirteenth, by American businessman Thomas Lawson, may have further perpetuated the superstition.

Others believe that the myth has Biblical origins. Jesus was crucified on a Friday and there were 13 guests at the Last Supper the night before his crucifixion."

Friday the 13th has a special phobia related to it known as Friggatriskaidekaphobia. A really hard to pronounce phobia.

Bonus Fact: Friday is named after the Norse Goddess of wisdom Frigg ( I like Norse Mythology so it HAD to be in here).

Fact: At least 10 percent of the U.S. population lives in fear of the number 13. But more specifically people fear Friday the 13th on the calendar, so much so that it leads to financial losses in excess of $800 million annually, as people tend to avoid getting married, traveling, and even working.

Bonus Fact: On Friday, October 13th, 1989, the stock exchange suffered the second most devastating stock exchange crash, which was later nicknamed ‘Black Friday’.

Fact: Court dockets are significantly less busy on Friday the 13th because people purposefully avoid scheduling their matter on that day due to the superstition that somehow the case will go badly for them. I've seen people even take a next date that was several months in the future to avoid a Friday the 13th.

Friday the 13 is considered by many to be a very bad luck day. Many people will stay home and not go out. Others believe that if they eat pancakes every Friday the 13, they will have good luck until the next one.
Love freaky fridays, they come in different colors.

There is a calendrical method to the madness of Friday the 13th. Whenever a common year begins on a Thursday, the months of February, March, and November will have a Friday the 13th. This will happen 11 times in the 21st century.

The February-March-November pattern repeats in a 28-year cycle. In the 21st century, the cycle began in 2009. In 2015, 6 years later, Friday the 13th occurred in February, March, and November. This won't happen for 11 more years until 2026 and we'll have to wait again for 11 years until 2037 to see the February, March, and November trilogy.

This pattern will repeat itself starting 2043, 6 years after 2037.

Personal, sad fact about Friday 13th that happened last week: My older dog Drako, 12 year old Siberian Husky mix, passed away about 10 minutes before midnight going into the 14th. :((

ParadisePark · Apr 21, 2018 9:39 PM

@Flyingstunner I'm so sorry to hear that. :(

Flying Stunner · Apr 21, 2018 9:42 PM

Death is a part of life, and Drako was a character; in his quirky nature he went out on a suspicious date, damn turd. I do love and miss him.

Riverstone18 · Apr 22, 2018 12:35 AM

Awww :'( that's sad to hear Flying Stunner.
