Friday the 13th!
Aside from Halloween, Friday the 13th may be the next most-celebrated holiday for haunters. But, why? What inspired legions of folks to suffer from triskaidekaphobia and fueled a nearly 40-year old slasher franchise? Some say the history is rooted to the time of the last supper, and some say the middle ages, but the most popular origin story seems to be surrounding the attack of some Knights Templar on October 13, 1307.
While most of us spend effort avoiding walking under ladders and wishing we could attend Camp Crystal Lake, the origin still seems a bit foggy. But, want to know what isn’t unclear? All of the amazing activities that are happening TONIGHT as the haunt season starts revving up!
