<p>The first of 2019’s only two Friday the 13ths
is already underway, and while the day is seen as an ominous sign of bad luck,
horror fans have embraced the occasion.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For most people who consider Friday 13th
unlucky, it is more a question of what they avoid doing, rather than what they
do on this day.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fun <strong>BUZZ</strong>
fact: the fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia.</p>

<p>In true <strong>BUZZ</strong> fashion, here is a list of must-see horror films to get you in the right (or wrong) mood for the weekend:</p>

<p>The Grudge describes a curse that is born
when someone dies in the grip of a powerful rage or extreme sorrow. The curse

supernatural force die, and the curse is reborn repeatedly, passing from victim
to victim in an endless, growing chain of horror. </p>

the Japanese original, Ju On: The Grudge by Takashi Shimizu!</p>
