Another Friday the 13th is upon us, leaving many people around the world nervous about what sort of ominous events could occur, but SYFY is giving horror movie fans a reason to look forward to the date, as it's delivering audiences a marathon of frightening films. Given that many of us are still wishing it was Halloween, since the network was delivering us horror films on a regular basis, the upcoming slate of horror films will hopefully help smooth the transition out of the holiday, as the programming will include classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street but also contemporary favorites like It Follows.
