Friday the 13th

May 13 marks the one and only Friday the 13th of 2022 — a day that tends to evoke a range of emotions for the superstitious.

Many people also suffer from triskaidekaphobia, defined as the irrational fear of the number 13. Regarding the day of Friday, the negative connotation may also have roots in Christianity, History.com explains. In Western lore, experts believe the fear over 13 started in the Bible. Thirteen guests attended the Last Supper, including Jesus and his 12 apostles — one of whom, Judas, betrayed him. In Asia, 13 is just another number. The last occurred in August 2021, and the next won’t come until January 2023. It remains unclear when negative superstitions began swirling around Friday the 13th.

Today is set to be hot with a high UV index. Sunshine and warm weather is in the forecast for bikers heading to Port Dover today, and no pandemic restrictions are in place. Today is first first full scale Friday the 13th since 2019 – and it’s shaping up to be a busy day.

With his hockey mask and his machete, Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees is one of the most recognizable villains in horror, even if his onscreen track record ...

It tells a shortened version of Jason’s origin story, before setting him loose on the requisite group of attractive young people lined up to get killed. Freddy manipulates Jason from the afterlife, as a way for Freddy to return and once again slaughter people in their dreams, which eventually leads to a showdown between the two killers. Robert Englund makes his final onscreen appearance as Freddy from the Nightmare on Elm Street films, and it’s more of a Freddy movie with a bit of Jason thrown in. A cryogenically frozen Jason is revived hundreds of years in the future aboard a research vessel traveling through space. Tommy Jarvis returns, too, played here by a third actor (Thom Matthews). Jason Lives is a franchise highlight thanks to the overtly comedic tone adopted by writer-director Tom McLoughlin. He gives the movie a throwback monster-movie feel, with corny jokes and an emphasis on spooky vibes over graphic violence and nudity. Budget constraints necessitated shooting most of this movie outside New York City, so the focus instead is on Jason killing various teens as they take a high school graduation cruise from Crystal Lake to NYC. Eventually, he gets to slash his way through some Big Apple landmarks, but it’s not nearly the triumphant invasion the title implies. Tommy Jarvis returns, now played by John Shepherd, living in a mental health facility after his traumatic encounter with Jason. The movie is a murder mystery of sorts set in this group home for teens, rather than at Camp Crystal Lake, with a killer who mimics Jason’s style but is someone else entirely. One of the foundational movies of the slasher subgenre, the original Friday the 13th doesn’t look like something that would spawn a decades-long franchise. Of course this isn’t actually the final chapter, although at one point it was meant to conclude the franchise. Here’s how to stream every Friday the 13th movie. It’s also presented in clumsy 1980s 3D, which is unavailable to stream, so that modern viewers just witness a lot of objects being thrust awkwardly at the camera. Jason makes his debut as the killer, rising from the dead to avenge his mother.

Reunions, motorcycles and the return of Hamilton's very own Thong Man.

Norfolk County is preparing for large crowds as motorcycle enthusiasts flock to Port Dover, Ont. for Friday the 13th.

In 2021 there were two collisions on Highway 6 involving motorcycles believed to be heading to the rally. Provincial fire crews, a helicopter, and several fire departments are responding to a wildfire in the Musquodoboit area of Nova Scotia. - Market St. West (from St. George St. to Main St.) - The best places and time to watch the rare 'super flower blood moon' in Ontario - Market St. East (from Main St. to St. Andrew St.) As of 12 p.m., OPP estimated over 100,000 people were already in Port Dover with more expected to arrive throughout the day. - Main St. (from Clifford St. to Walker St.) can’t ask for anything better.” - Richardson Drive (from Nelson St. West to Greenock St.) - Greenock St. West (from St. George to Richardson Drive) - Nelson St. East (from St. Patrick to Hwy. 24) As of 12 p.m., OPP estimated over 100,000 people were already in Port Dover with more expected to arrive throughout the day.

Ontario Provincial Police indicated that at least four collisions have occurred, three of which occurred in Port Dover.

“As motorcycle enthusiasts descend on Port Dover, there will be an increase in motorcycle traffic and the OPP is asking all drivers to take those two extra seconds before making a lane change or proceeding through an intersection,” Norfolk OPP Insp. Shawn Johnson said in a release earlier this week. Police said the motorcyclist was heading in the direction of Port Dover, but couldn’t directly confirm if that was his destination. In that incident, the male rider had to be airlifted to an out-of-town hospital.

The Ontario Provincial Police say 100,000 bikers are expected in Port Dover which hasn't been seen since pre-pandemic. Brandon Rowe was there and spoke with ...

As most horror fans know by now, the film franchise has been held up for several years now in a legal battle between Friday the 13th screenwriter Victor Miller ...

The argument continues to be that Miller wrote the screenplay as a “work-for-hire,” and therefore never should’ve been able to gain rights to the screenplay in the first place. For now, the two parties are still at odds with one another, and the only way for any progress to be made is for them to work something out. In other words, Miller only has young Jason Voorhees at his disposal, so he could theoretically work with filmmakers on a project involving Jason’s early years – before the mask. In other words, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s previous order, rejecting the argument and concluding that “Miller was an independent contractor when he wrote the screenplay and is therefore entitled to authorship rights.” Summary judgement was awarded, therefore, to Miller. As most horror fans know by now, the film franchise has been held up for several years now in a legal battle between Friday the 13th screenwriter Victor Miller and Friday the 13th director Sean Cunningham, with the rights currently split between them. But what – if anything – can Miller and his team do with what they currently own?

(CNN) It wasn't a shock when LeBron James showed up to a Lakers game on Halloween 2018 dressed as Jason Voorhees from the "Friday the 13th" horror films.

"It usually results in a negotiation and settlement" between both sides, he said. "Within the next couple years a number of iconic Hollywood movies could wind up in court," Moss said. "Sean made millions of dollars," Zerner said. Horror icon Stephen King dangled his own wish to write a new story from the perspective of Jason Voorhees himself. Will Jason come back in the theaters? "Miller now owns the copyright to his screenplay, including sequel rights, but Jason can't be portrayed as any older than in the first movie? "Do you do a new mask, like they often did before? "I love that my two passions intersect, copyright law and 'Friday the 13th'," Zerner said. That accessory would go on to define the killer's film legacy and play a key part in the case Zerner is now following. Cunningham says those rights still rest with him and the original investors. In fact, Mrs. Voorhees channeled Jason. And, of course, the first was all teed up for sequels." "Both sides are really dug into foxholes," Cunningham said.

Police determined rider error was to blame in 60 per cent of the 342 fatal motorcycle crashes on Ontario roads between 2012 and 2021. The OPP found the most common causes of motorcycle-related crashes are speeding, failing to yield the right of way and “driver inattention.” “This will ensure that no conflicts will take place with other individuals attempting to use drones or aircraft that may put the public at risk or interfere with police operations,” acting Sgt. Ed Sanchuk said.
