Friday the 13th: Tom Lives!
Published Friday, April 13 by Tom | E-mail this post
Anyone who is kind enough to pay us a visit will notice I, Tom, have my name credited as co-owner of this hallowed blog, although I don't actually seem to post much. Well from now on I aim to change all of that and am making a return to the genre I love so much called Horror in order to post more blogs. But first, a revival, for those of you who are new to the blog, and might be wondering what the true meaning of Friday the 13th is:
Weird old day this, of course only for the people who suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia. Damn, try saying that 10 times fast! Paraskavedekatriaphobia, the fear of Friday the 13th is perhaps more common than just the silly superstition you would think it to be. It's reported that over 21 million people in America alone suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia, sometimes staying inside for a full twenty-four hours. A sort of amalgamation between the fear of the number thirteen, triskadekaphobia, and the day when it is believed to have been Christ's crucifixion. Of course, none of this has anything to do with "Friday The 13th", it just happens to be the name of a bloody great horror film. Hurray for Mrs. Voorhees and her son Jason, happy holidays!
