Captivity... it's one of those torture type movies like Saw / Hostel I think starring Elisha Cuthbert. And Harry Potter... oh wait, you said scary movie

Ten Friday the 13th Facts and Theories

1. It’s been estimated that $800 or $900 million (U.S.) is lost in business on this day because people will not fly or do business they would normally do.

2. No historical date has been verifiably identified as the origin of the superstition. Before the 20th century, although there is evidence that the number 13 was considered unlucky, and Friday was considered unlucky; there was no link between them.

3. The first documented mention of a “Friday the 13th” is generally listed as occurring in the early 1900’s.[

4. A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in English, German, Polish and Portuguese-speaking cultures around the globe.

5. Many people are so paralyzed by fear that they are simply unable to get out of bed when Friday the 13th rolls around. The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute estimates that more than 17 million people are affected by a fear of this day.

6. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia.

7. Every year has at least one, and at most three Fridays the 13th, with 48 occurrences in 28 years an average of 1.7 times per year. The reason, this is the evidence: twenty-eight years have 336 months and 336 also equals seven times forty-eight.

8. A study published in The British Medical Journal (1993) has shown that there is a significant increase in traffic-related accidents on Friday the 13ths.

9. Friday the 13th is also known as “Dooms day” all around the world.

10. Many popular stories exist about the origin of the concept: The popular painting of the Last Supper, with stories that Judas numbered among the thirteen guests (Jesus plus his 12 apostles), and that the Crucifixion of Jesus occurred Friday. The Knights Templar is another popular theory: recently offered up as historical fact in the novel The Da Vinci Code, holds that it came about not as the result of a convergence, but a catastrophe, a single historical event that happened nearly 700 years ago.

FYI,
Friday the 13th has no significance in many Latin American cultures. In fact, the day that is similar is Martes 13(Tuesday the 13th). Even the "Friday the 13th" movies titles were translated "Martes 13".

Once I learned that growing up I had even less regard for any difference between Friday the 13th and any other day.

Seriously, I washed my car sunday evening. I garaged it and didnt drive it again until last night. When I got back into my car at 1:15am (the morning of friday the 13th), there was a huge streak of bird crap on my car.

I cannot wait for this day to be over.

Bimmerista · 07-14-2007, 09:45 PM

The Knights Templar massacre in Jesuralem on the orders of the Pope did occur on a Friday the 13th - saw a documentary about it where they infact trace the origina of Friday the 13th as bad luck to that event-that's why I said it was a Catholic thing
