The dictionary entry “triskaidekaphobia” — a composite of the Greek word for 13, ‘treiskadeka’ and ‘phobia’ (fear of) — describes “an irrational or disproportionate fear of the number 13”. There was a Friday, the 13th each in 2021 and 2022 as well. In fact, a very large number of films have “Friday the 13th” in their titles.
