If “Psycho” is too tame and “Saw” is too graphic, the original “Friday the 13th” might be up your alley — or wooded path, as the case may be. The Strand will show the film at 8 p.m. on Friday. Tickets are $5. Watching the film and enjoying popcorn and candy are great ways to beat the heat — and support the Strand.

Released in 1980, “Friday the 13th” is the granddaddy of teenage slasher films. Filled with suspenseful camera angles and creepy music, this classic features a 22-year-old Kevin Bacon, who gets “killed, ” of course.

Although many horror-lovers have watched the classic on VHS or DVD in their own home, most people born before 1963 have never seen the the rated “R” film on the big screen in a movie theater.

Apparently, the film company isn’t making a big deal about the film’s 30th anniversary, so Shelbyville’s Strand is the only place to celebrate this historic occasion.

Watching Friday the 13th on Friday the 13th seems apropos, since the “un-holiday” gets little respect. Although most people who suffer from friggatriskaidekaphobia, which is fear of Friday the 13th, wouldn’t venture out in public on this date, this may be the perfect opportunity to overcome this fear. Friggatriskaidekaphobia is very rare, anyway.

In case you were wondering, paraskavedekatriaphilia is the love of Friday of Friday the 13th. So embrace paraskavedekatriaphilia by treating yourself and your loved one to a classic film in a classic theater! The balcony is open and the floor isn’t sticky.
