Later on the franchise was purchased by Paramount. Subsequently Friday The 13th was also tailored into novels. Though Friday The 13th were extremely criticized after release but the audience, fans and lovers of Friday The 13th signaled the franchisee a well done sign. As of now Friday The 13th has numerous dedicated websites, blogs and online forums created by the fans of the movie. Thousands of people use these sites every day.

Today is Friday, August 13, which for a lot of people means bad luck. (Though for other people, it will mean a ritual exploration of the work of Jason Voorhees.) But why is Friday the 13th so unlucky, and how did these superstitions begin?
In some ways, it’s a relatively new paranoia, as the first written reference to the day being unlucky didn’t come until the 1800s. But it probably began much earlier as a combination of two common fears. Friday is considered an unlucky day among Christians because, according to folklore, Jesus Christ was supposed to have been crucified on a Friday (hence the Good Friday holiday). The number 13 has been considered unlucky for centuries, as the number 12 is considered perfect and round (hence the 12 numbers on a clock), while 13 is considered irregular and evil. (There’s another Christian connection, as 13 was considered lucky in paganism because of the cycles of the moon, so it was deemed unlucky by Christians trying to purge paganism during the dark ages.)
Whatever the origins, the fears persist. The formal phobia is called friggatriskaidekaphobia, and as many as 21 million Americans may be afflicted. Businesses may lose as much as $900 million in business on any given Friday the 13th because of superstitions (as people tend not to travel and some don’t even leave the house). However, some airlines say they see no real decreases in travel against other Fridays (especially in the summer) and there are conflicting reports about whether or not there are more dangerous accidents on Friday the 13th than on any other day.
Whether you believe or not, it’s probably best to have a little extra luck in your pocket, which is why you should start your day with Madonna‘s “Lucky Star.”
