Notable Birthdays and Deathiversaries Added to Calendar

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.
