Classic movies to watch on Friday the 13th

It’s that spooky time of the year again. It’s Friday the 13th!

This year this superstitious holiday falls in July. The number 13 is considered to be an unlucky number. If you are truly afraid of the number 13, you have Triskaidekaphobia.

Believe it or not, Friday used to be considered the most unlucky day of the week. Shocking, right? Today it is celebrated every week. It’s the end of school and the work week for most people. Regardless, Friday plus 13 was considered a spooky combo.

Over time, Friday the thirteenth changed from bad luck to scary movies and shows. A lot of this stems from Friday the 13th franchise. If you are superstitious, fear crossing black cats, walking under ladders, and spilling salt, you can stay home. It is not the most fun way to celebrate, but you will be safe.

To avoid boredom, grab a copy of one of these films on Thursday. You can enjoy the spookiness of this holiday without leaving your home.

Just remember to keep your phone close; you never know who may be lurking through the night!
