Hi there and Happy Friday the 13th!  Nobody’s quite sure why thirteen became the pariah of numbers though I’ve heard a lot of theories.  Judas was the thirteenth disciple, I’ve heard that one a lot.  You conspiracy junkies might be interested to know that the Knights Templar were arrested on Friday the 13th.  My mom always used to tell me that Tuesday the 13th (Martes y Trece, as she used to put it) was actually more dangerous than Friday the 13th.

Well, even if we’re not sure why, the number 13 just carries a certain power to it, doesn’t it?  Perhaps that’s why so many movies have sought to exploit that number.  And since I’m all about movies, here’s a few examples to help us all get through Friday the 13th.
