Over on Twitter, Robert Allison reminds us today's a special day with his chart of 13 Years of Friday the 13th! So, to commemorate the occasion, here's a quick SAS ODS Graphics take on the box office hauls of the films in the Friday the 13th movie franchise, complete with a "slashed" (aka broken) y-axis.
