Spirit Halloween Takes Over Iconic "Friday the 13th" Diner!

Friday the 13th has long been associated with superstition and fear, and what better way to celebrate this eerie date than by revisiting a classic horror movie location? Spirit Halloween, the go-to place for all your Halloween needs, has found an intriguing way to commemorate the day by taking over the iconic Blairstown Diner in New Jersey. This diner, prominently featured in the original "Friday the 13th" film from 1980, holds a special place in the hearts of horror fans. Tomorrow, they will host a range of spine-tingling events, including ax throwing, horror caricatures, face painting, and even a bloody pie-eating contest. As if that's not exciting enough, the diner is also up for sale, allowing brave souls to make an offer on a piece of cinematic history.

A Chilling Trip Down Memory Lane

Nestled in the picturesque town of Blairstown, New Jersey, the Blairstown Diner holds a special place in the annals of horror cinema. As the setting for the original "Friday the 13th" film, this quaint eatery has been etched into the minds of horror aficionados. The 1980 slasher flick introduced audiences to the infamous hockey-masked killer, Jason Voorhees, who terrorized unsuspecting camp counselors in Camp Crystal Lake. The diner played a pivotal role in the film, setting the stage for the horrors that were to unfold.

Spirit Halloween's Spooktacular Takeover

Tomorrow, on the ominous date of Friday the 13th, Spirit Halloween is turning this classic diner into a hub of spooky festivities. Here are some of the spine-tingling highlights you can expect at this unique celebration:

Ax Throwing: Channel your inner Jason Voorhees by trying your hand at ax throwing. Test your aim and see if you have what it takes to land a perfect strike.

Free Horror Caricatures: Capture your eerie essence with free horror-themed caricatures. Professional artists will be on hand to bring your worst nightmares to life on paper.

Horror Face Painting: Transform into your favorite horror movie character with expert face painting. Whether you want to become a vampire, a zombie, or a classic slasher, the possibilities are endless.

Bloody Pie-Eating Contest: Perhaps the most hair-raising event of the day, the bloody pie-eating contest promises thrills and chills. Participants will compete to see who can devour the most unsettlingly delicious pies.

A Chance to Own a Piece of Horror History

The Blairstown Diner, while steeped in horror lore, is also available for sale. So, if you've ever dreamed of owning a piece of cinematic history, this could be your opportunity. However, the listing agent offers a word of caution - the diner is a magnet for fans of the Friday the 13th franchise. As they describe it, "There was one year, three or four weddings where Jason did the ceremony in town. No priest, no rabbi, just Jason with his mask and knife." If you're ready to embrace the horror and become the new custodian of this iconic location, you'll need a strong stomach for the occasional unconventional event.

As the world celebrates another Friday the 13th, Spirit Halloween is taking fans on a chilling trip down memory lane by taking over the Blairstown Diner from the original "Friday the 13th." With a host of macabre activities and the chance to own a piece of horror history, this is an event no horror enthusiast should miss. So, sharpen your ax-throwing skills, summon your inner Jason Voorhees, and get ready for a day of spine-tingling fun at this iconic cinematic landmark. Just remember to watch your back, as you never know when the ghost of Jason Voorhees might make an appearance, hockey mask and all. Happy Friday the 13th!
