Do you suffer from Friggatriskaidekaphobia?  Well, I don’t have a fear of Friday the 13th or the number 13 in general, but it is a common superstition.  I always find that overcoming fear involves immersing yourself in that of which you are afraid. 

This year, October 2017, we’ve decided to host a Friday the 13th movie night since it is a rare occurrence that we have this date in October.  The next October Friday the 13th won’t happen again until 2023.

Our movie night will include 13 Sins and Friday 13th Part VI.  There are more options for horror movies with the number 13 in them and I’ve made a list for you of my top picks.  If you want more details, plot description and trailers then I recommend www.imdb.com and www.youtube.com
