In Japanese and other languages having common roots, the digit’s pronunciation, “Shi”, is the same as that of the word for death.

The Irish are a very superstitious people with many piseogaí, or superstitions ingrained in us from we're young.

In the Duchais.ie schools collection, a story written by Michael McConalogue has been transcribed about a man who was travelling on horseback from Inishowen to Derry and met a man who was on the back of a hare. As alluded to with the fishing, the cailleach – or witch – is able to ship-shift and disguise herself as different animals, one of which is a hare. It was said that if you found a horseshoe on the road, it was a sign of good luck, as long as the shoe was facing you, as if the horse were walking towards you. People still put a cross on their soda bread to ‘let the fairies out’ and bless each other after a sneeze so as to scare the fairies away. There are other strange stories involving hares with supernatural powers and hares who were hunted but turned out to be women. Some people nowadays don’t pay much heed to the day but others be weary of their actions and their surroundings.

And it's the first of two Friday the 13ths in 2023. There'll be another one in October. Does that mean 2023 is super unlucky? No. Any calendar year has at least ...

The first January-October Friday the 13th year in the 21st century (2001 to 2100) occurred in 2006, which is two years after a leap year. So we can keep on going to find 10 January-October Friday the 13th years for the 25th century (2401 to 2500). The days and dates of any leap year match up again in periods of 28 years. Any leap year starting on a Sunday has three Friday the 13ths which fall in January, April and July. So this year, in 2023, we’ll have a Friday the 13th in January and October. Then in the 24th century (2301 to 2400), the cycle is again perturbed. The last time we had only one Friday the 13th in a calendar year was in Therefore, if our twofold Friday the 13th year comes three years after a leap year, as it does in 2023, the days and dates will match up again in 11, 22 and 28 years. This marked the first time in the 21st century (2001 to 2100) that New Year’s Day started on a Sunday. Friday has always gotten a bad rap regardless of its number in the month. Then the sole Friday the 13th of 2025 falls on June 13, 2025, exactly 26 weeks (2 x 13 weeks) after the December 2024 Friday the 13th. And it’s the first of two Friday the 13ths in 2023.

It's Friday the 13th once again, and you know what that means: It's time to revisit the highs and lows of one of horror's most iconic franchises.

But for pure entertainment value, and a showcase of why horror fans still obsess over Friday the 13th to this day, you can't do better than Jason Lives. A big deal is made of the fact that Jason is seemingly back, in contrast to the previous chapter, in which barely anybody seemed to care about his apparent return. This injects much-needed forward momentum into a series that, at its worst, can leave us just waiting around for the kills and for the characters to figure out that Jason is on a murder spree. The attempt to move on from Jason with a copycat killer in A New Beginning was widely rejected, so with the follow-up, the franchise throws up its hands in defeat by flat-out resurrecting him. Still, it was important to the development of the slasher genre in that it helped cement many of its tropes, and it relies much more on gore — as we now come to expect from the genre — compared to the more subtle Halloween. The deaths also start getting more enjoyably gratuitous and comedic here; one involving a man in a wheelchair is downright mean, but darkly funny, a combination that would come to define the series. The result is a mash-up of the best of a Freddy movie and the best of a Jason movie, including the dream sequences of the former and real-world slashings of the latter. But since Jason literally went to space in the installment before this one, it was important for the pendulum to swing back in the other direction, reminding audiences why the character isn't (always) a joke. It's a distraction in what is otherwise a crucial sequel, as this is the first to introduce Jason wearing his iconic hockey mask. But even regular human Jason turns in some of the series' all-time great kills — the highlight involving a shirtless man unlucky enough to be walking on his hands before Jason arrives — and one of its most memorable final showdowns, set in a barn. Jason X looks and feels like a SyFy original movie despite receiving a theatrical release, from its visual effects that look right out of a PlayStation game to some of the most wooden performances of the series. It's Friday the 13th once again, and you know what that means: It's time to revisit the highs and lows of one of horror's most iconic franchises.

Jason Vorhees is an undead monster who likes killing teenagers while wearing a hockey mask. So when exactly did he become the hero of the Friday the 13th ...

In Jason’s ending—which interestingly noted that Jason and Scorpion are the same species of undead—Liu Kang noticed how good Jason was as a killer and thought to recruit him. Jason still kind of fell into the background for that series and its follow-up Freddy vs. When she throws Jason his machete in the end, there is a feeling of a connection with the way he stares at her. It was also decided that Jason was not going to be a damn superhero. In some of the early script treatments, Jason would even blatantly be on the teens’ side! He is driven by revenge over his dead mother, who was driven herself by revenge for Jason being teased and allowed to die as a child due to negligence. Sometimes they even gave Jason the climactic moment of getting to talk. Just like it was satisfying to see Jason thrown around by a psychic teen girl, people would love to see Jason shut Freddy up by giving him the mauling he so richly deserves. While it was very messy and all over the place (and not in the fun blood and guts way), the final seconds did make a major hint that we would be seeing Jason take on Freddy Krueger… What these treatments all basically agreed on was that at the end of the day, countless victims or not, Jason Voorhees was always going to be the good guy when faced off against someone like Freddy Krueger. Due to her telekinesis and life of trauma, the conflict was supposed to invoke the concept of Jason vs. Over the course of the

In 1984, the studio and producers behind Friday the 13th attempted to end the series. Since the film was meant to be the final movie in the franchise, the filmmakers went all out, and the end result is the best entry in the series. Unfortunately for them, but fortunately for audiences, the end result is Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Friday the 13th tells the story of a group of camp counselors who are hoping to reopen Camp Crystal Lake. On paper, Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood shouldn't work.

[Friday](https://parade.com/934975/parade/friday-quotes/) the 13th is an unlucky date. Jason spends most of the movie on a cruise ship headed towards Manhattan. The Friday the 13th movies star Jason Voorhees, the iconic hockey mask wearing killer. Whenever a Friday falls on the 13th of the month, it's a perfect opportunity to marathon this series.

So a frozen Jason (Kane Hodder) gets blasted into space in the year 2455, and once he thaws out it’s business as usual because the ship he’s on happens to be inhabited by a bunch of youngsters. Jason (Kane Hodder) spends most of the film on a cruise ship that’s on its way to Manhattan, knocking off youths who are on board for a senior trip. Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) is blasted to pieces by the FBI in the opening sequence… The franchise moved to New Line Cinema with this installment, and director Adam Marcus set out to deliver a film that would be very different from any of its predecessors. Voorhees to encourage Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger) to rise from Hell and head over to his old haunt of Elm Street to commit murder and stir up fear. Like Tommy in Jason Lives, that girl (named Tina) accidentally resurrects Jason, then has to deal with the consequences. Friday the 13th Part 2 is so good, it’s easy to overlook the fact that it’s built on a very odd decision: the one to make Jason Voorhees, the drowned child whose mother was out for vengeance in the first movie, the killer this time around. Jason finally reached theatres in 2003, with director Ronny Yu bringing the concept to the screen with great style. A family living in a house out in the woods. Especially when you get to watch the hulking, hockey masked Jason (Richard Brooker) engage the final girl in one of the best chases of the franchise. This is where he gets his iconic hockey mask, and he wears it while taking out a group of youths vacationing at a cabin on the edge of Crystal Lake.
