Its origins date back hundreds upon hundreds of years, and it has had plenty of dark and devastating things have happened on it. From the ancient Greeks who had a different take on the 13th, to Italy, who also have an unlucky day, we’ll be exploring the origins and some of the events to have taken place on this day horror fans have claimed as their own.
