Bullets revolving around the mystery of Friday, the 13th:
• King Philip IV had many knights templar arrested on the 13th of October, Friday, in the year 1307. There are many other links which refer to the myth of Friday, the 13th.
• Some people believe there was a 13th tribe of Israel, although the Bible proclaims only 12. Members of this tribe, viewed as “witches,” sought to destroy followers of God.
• Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue. Many buildings don’t have a 13th floor.
• If 13 people sit down to dinner together, all will die within the year. The Turks so disliked the number 13 that it was practically expunged from their vocabulary.
• According to numerology, number ‘12’ is designated as a complete number. And 13th is just beyond completeness, which makes it unlucky.
• According to a study made by a British medical journal, there is a considerable increase in vehicle accidents on Friday, the 13.
Some consider horror films as a thrilling experience, others call it a roller coaster ride of bhoot bungalows and dreadful spirits.
So eventually, what draws people to watch a good horror flick? Is it merely the excitement factor or is it something above that?
