Alright, spooky enthusiasts, gather around! So, we’ve all heard of Halloween, right? Enter Friday the 13th, or as it’s now being dubbed, the “Second Halloween”. 🎃👻. The day we deck out in our most terrifying costumes, trick-or-treat for candies, and binge-watch horror movies? But this year, the internet has decided that one day of spookiness just isn’t enough.
What’s the Deal with Friday the 13th?
For the uninitiated, Friday the 13th has long been regarded as a day of bad luck in Western superstition. Its origin stories are a mixed bag, with some believing it traces back to biblical times and others associating it with Norse mythology. But modern times? Oh boy, it’s mostly known because of Mr. Jason Voorhees, our machete-wielding friend from the “Friday the 13th” movie series. Scary, huh?
Why “Second Halloween”?
Now, one might wonder, why is the internet suddenly calling this the second Halloween? Well, it’s simple: Why not?! The netizens, in their ever-creative glory, saw an opportunity to celebrate and seized it. Halloween has always been about spookiness and fun, and Friday the 13th already has a reputation for being eerie. It’s a match made in…uh, a haunted house?
Memes and More
This year, the digital space exploded with Jason Voorhees memes, GIFs, and videos that made us laugh, shudder, and sometimes do a bit of both. It’s all in good fun though. After all, who doesn’t like a little scare once in a while?
And oh, speaking of videos, there’s this one video that’s going absolutely viral. It hilariously stitches together popular dance scenes from movies and throws Jason in the mix. Imagine Jason trying to break it down to the beats of ‘Stayin Alive’ by Bee Gees. Yeah, pure gold!
Outfit for my run tomorrow morning, complete with (plastic) machete. Let’s hope I’m not arrested Sunglasses behind the mask really make the eyeholes that much more creepy. Best day of the year! #fridaythe13
