We decided to add something new to our Calendar of Odd Dates: birthdays and deathiversaries.
Whose birthdays and deathiversaries did we add? Great question!
We’re talking heavyweights who have created some beloved classic horror movies (both producers, directors and writers), as well as beloved horror book authors.
But it’s not just horror icons. We’ve also added birthdays and deathiversaries for pioneers in the paranormal field. From people who sort of “invented” paranormal investigating in the first place, to people who took it to a whole new level on popular television shows.
Some are pictured in the collage above. Below is a list of the others.

Let us know by leaving a comment below.
Or feel free to leave a comment over in our Forums. We posed this same question in the Anything Goes section. Just look for the discussion titled: Whose birthday/deathiversary are we missing on our Calendar of Odd Dates?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
