We won't have to wait too long for the answer to that final question: The year's first Friday the 13th — there are two in 2023 — is happening in January.
It's an unlikely month for eerie high jinks, due to the distance from Halloween and our attention on the year's aspirations and hopes, but a few places will be offering fright fans ways to mark the superstition-famous occasion.
One spot, Solita Tacos & Margaritas in Long Beach, will be treating dine-in guests to a complimentary Vampiro Taco with grilled chicken.
