At Thrillvania Haunted House Park in Terrell, Texas, we know a thing or two about fear. We live and breathe it — but even we pause when Friday the 13th rolls around.
For centuries, this date has been soaked in superstition, soaked in dread, and tied to everything from ancient curses to modern horror movies. But why does Friday the 13th creep people out so much?
Well, let’s take a walk in the shadows together…
Friday the 13th is said to be cursed due to the unlucky number 13 and the supposed misfortunes tied to Fridays throughout history. Combine the two and you’ve got a cocktail of calamity.
Planes delayed. Stock markets crashed. Horror films released. The list goes on, and the fear deepens.
Here at Thrillvania Haunted House Park, Friday the 13th feels like a holiday — a wicked one. The air buzzes differently. Shadows feel thicker. Even our werewolves seem a little more restless.
Superstition is the heart of horror. From avoiding broken mirrors to whispering about cursed dolls, fear of the unknown is what drives people into haunted houses like ours.
And there’s no better time to test your courage than Friday the 13th.
