It goes like this: You're at a nice Easter gathering with your family, when suddenly a deranged killer in a bunny mask starts stalking you. On April Fools' Day, that guy you and your friends pulled a rather nasty prank upon is out to get you. On Halloween, the dead rise from their graves and start to terrorize the neighborhood. And on Christmas, The Antichrist decides to be born.
"Oh, for Pete's sake!" you cry; "Couldn't these things happen on any other day, like, I don't know, Tuesday?"
Sorry, slick, Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday.
When the horror happens, it tends to happen on holidays and other special days marked on your calendar for various reasons: Lots of people tend to gather around on those days (usually at a remote location), calendar days make nice titles, and nothing quite says Subverted Innocence like (for example) Santa Claus killing people with an axe.
Also, remember, some days are sacred to pagan/occult religions and so "natural" choices for supernatural events. These days may have had Christian and/or commercial holidays added, or they may just be special to the pagans/witches/Satanists/whoever, still not just Tuesday, even if the hero doesn't know this at first. Granted, if you consider all cultures, faiths and customs, every day on the calendar is bound to be a holiday to someone; this trope only applies when that holiday is specifically referenced in the work.
And of course, Lovecraftian unspeakable horrors don't have any use for the human calendar, so they won't bother to do the timezone math to see where to appear. They only care the stars are right on THEIR calendars and none of these calendars have Tuesday!
Popular trope among horror movies (especially in the Slasher Movie genre), but not necessarily limited to them. In fact, the idea of Christmas as a time for ghost stories dates back to at least the 19th Century,note Halloween was mainly thought of as a holiday for romance at that point and the Victorians loved to while away the long dark winter nights by swapping scary yarns. It's worth remembering that the best-known 19th Century Christmas story, A Christmas Carol, is also a ghost story.
See also Attack of the Town Festival, Regularly Scheduled Evil, Twisted Christmas, An Ass-Kicking Christmas, Valentine's Day Violence, A Birthday, Not a Break, Died on Their Birthday, Dangerous 16th Birthday, Prom Wrecker, Wedding Smashers, Special Occasions Are Magic, and various holiday episodes. Did I Mention It's Christmas? (or any other holiday) may be in effect for some of these. Contrast But for Me, It Was Tuesday, although the name of that trope might have inspired this one's, as in, the difference between something evil one does every day and the kind reserved for specific days. |

Patriots Day, a True Crime film about the 2015 Boston Marathon bombing. Notably, the actual attack was a subversion; the Boston Marathon is scheduled every year to be held on Patriots' Day (a state holiday in Massachusetts commemorating the Battles of Lexington and Concord), so anybody plotting a terrorist attack against such would also, by coincidence, be plotting an attack on that holiday. The date initially led investigators to suspect a far-right militia as the culprit before the actual bombers, a pair of Chechen Islamist brothers, were uncovered. |

Along with ending on the prom, the aforementioned Student Bodies starts, says "Halloween" on screen but nothing happens, Fade Out. Fade In again on "Friday the 13th" nothing happens on that day either, fade out again. Fade in again on "Jamie Lee Curtis' Birthday" that's when all hell breaks loose!
Either that or the film takes place in a Verse where — to better facilitate this trope — all three of these events can and do happen on the same date. |

Batman: Arkham Knight contains a series of journal entries from Calendar Man, who made a New Year's Resolution not to commit crimes on major holidays, but to focus on lesser-known events like Groundhog Day and National Talk Like a Pirate Day. Eventually, he can't resist the urge and decides to cheat by committing a crime on Halloween...the day the events of the game take place. His journal entry for October 31 simply says "Damn Scarecrow." |

The various retellings of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, like the film Sleepy Hollow (1999) takes place near Halloween, which is fitting because the villain is associated with jack-o-lanterns. The original story does revolve around a "quilting frolic" in autumn, but was written before Halloween had really been popularized as a holiday. |

The 2019 Halloween Horror Nights maze Holidayz in Hell at Universal Studios Hollywood is all about every holiday becoming scary. Ironically, the Halloween section is the least frightening part of this maze with moving pumpkins not looking as scary as say skeleton Uncle Sam or the Thanksgiving Turkey that killed an entire family. |

Night World:
The latter half of Spellbinder (1996) takes place in the lead up to Halloween, or Samhain as the witches call it, with the climatic showdown with Suzanne's ghost taking place on Halloween night. It's justified in that the "veil" between the living world and the 'beyond' is thinnest at this time of year, which is likely how Thea was able to summon Suzanne and is also required to banish her. It also poses a significant risk to the students of Lake Mead High because of the Halloween Dance they're throwing, which includes decorations of witches being tortured that are bound to enrage Suzanne, given her history.
The Chosen (1997) largely takes place in the lead up to and on the night of the spring equinox, which is a holiday for Night People and especially vampires, as it's the anniversary of the day Maya - the first vampire - turned Thierry and thus created the vampire race. Rashel comes to realize the kidnapped girls are being taken to be devoured at a Blood Feast celebrating the equinox. |

In the Harry Potter series, it just happened to be on Halloween night that Voldemort murdered Harry's parents. In fact, there's generally one major plot event every Halloween that Harry is at school, as well. First year: Troll gets in and wreaks havoc (the title of this chapter is even "Hallowe'en"). Second year: the Chamber is opened and takes its first victim. Third year: Black breaks in and slashes up the Fat Lady's portrait. Fourth year: Harry is entered into the Triwizard Tournament.
It's actually played with in regards to the third book. Hermione even points out that they were lucky everyone was at the Great Hall for the feast when Sirius Black attempted to break into the Gryffindor Tower, having assumed he had lost track on time while being on the run. However, with the reveal that Sirius is innocent, Sirius intentionally picked that day because no students would be in the tower, so he could go after Peter Pettigrew and that Lupin would be confined in his office as a werewolf as that year happened to have a full moon that night. |

In The Day of the Jackal, the titular date, on which Jackal plans to shoot Charles de Gaulle, is Liberation Day, the holiday that celebrates the Nazis withdrawing from Paris in WWII. Between the date being a major holiday, the President of France's status as a hero of the liberation, and his tremendous ego, De Gaulle pretty much has to go out and participate in the commemoration events, which means that Jackal is guaranteed a chance to strike. |

Multiple instances in The Dresden Files. Justified in that the barrier between the spirit and mortal worlds is weakest on Halloween, so all manner of nasty supernatural stuff happens on that day. It also happens to be the main character's birthday. |

Cry_Wolf deconstructs the trope. A group of High School Students spread rumours of a serial killer they made up as a practical joke, to prove they're better than the other students. The rumour involves many of the cliches of horror and Urban Legend because they think it'll make it more believable. Unfortunately, this inspires a copycat killer to start killing people for real. At least, that's what you're SUPPOSED to think . . . |

Unsurprisingly, not even The Twilight Zone is immune to this trope. In the fifth season episode "The Masks", wealthy businessman Jason Foster forces his greedy relatives to wear grotesque masks if they wish to obtain his fortune. After he dies, the relatives remove their masks...only to discover their faces have taken the shape of the masks themselves, permanently disfiguring them. |

Calendar Man's entire schtick, especially his Arkham Series incarnation, who's effectively a holiday-themed serial killer. In Batman: Arkham City he'll tell you about his previous murders if you visit him with your system clock set to certain holidays.
Batman: Arkham Knight contains a series of journal entries from Calendar Man, who made a New Year's Resolution not to commit crimes on major holidays, but to focus on lesser-known events like Groundhog Day and National Talk Like a Pirate Day. Eventually, he can't resist the urge and decides to cheat by committing a crime on Halloween...the day the events of the game take place. His journal entry for October 31 simply says "Damn Scarecrow." |

MAD spoofed the concept with Arbor Day, which became Hilarious in Hindsight with the creation of the aforementioned Arbor Daze.
Arbor Day is again the chosen day of horror when It's a Living took on slasher films.
One of the guests at the horror-event-turned-massacre from Blood Fest is the lead actor from an Arbor Day slasher franchise. |

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas reveals that The Beast's Karmic Transformation resulting from him spurning one of The Fair Folk disguised as a beggar took place on Christmas Day. Of course, that would be a good time to ask for kindness and hospitality, or test someone's moral character regarding such things. |

Deep Fear takes place in an underwater military facility overrun with monsters. The only significance of the date is that it deprives everyone's ability to call for outside help, as their one attempt to tell them they're dealing with mutant zombies gets brushed off as a joke. |

A Thing of Vikings: Henry the Sinister starts his massacre of Jews on the 9th of Av, the same day that both Jewish Temples were destroyed, and a day of mourning for Jews.note In real-life history, several other disasters befell the Jewish community on this date — the Rhineland massacres and the expulsion from Spain, to name a few. It's ambiguous whether he knew or cared what the date was. |

It revolves around a Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold (played by Peter Cushing) being tormented and eventually Driven to Suicide by his cruel neighbours, and eventually rising from his grave to take revenge. |

Batman:
Calendar Man's entire schtick, especially his Arkham Series incarnation, who's effectively a holiday-themed serial killer. In Batman: Arkham City he'll tell you about his previous murders if you visit him with your system clock set to certain holidays.
Batman: Arkham Knight contains a series of journal entries from Calendar Man, who made a New Year's Resolution not to commit crimes on major holidays, but to focus on lesser-known events like Groundhog Day and National Talk Like a Pirate Day. Eventually, he can't resist the urge and decides to cheat by committing a crime on Halloween...the day the events of the game take place. His journal entry for October 31 simply says "Damn Scarecrow."
The Long Halloween: The Holiday Killer strikes on Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Independence Day, a birthday, then Halloween again. On April 1st, the killer attacks the Riddler but doesn't kill him — because it's April Fools' Day. |

Grounded for All Eternity: Parris is released on Halloween night, or Samhain as Hell's residents refer to it as. Justified as that's when the veil between dimensions is thinnest. |

Subverted in Groundhog Day. While the endless time loop does take place on the titular holiday and lasts quite possibly for thousands of years from Phil Connor's perspective, it is not intended to terrify or harm him in any way. Instead, it ends up making Phil a better person, and the only deaths in this film are the ones he inflicts upon himself. |

The Chosen (1997) largely takes place in the lead up to and on the night of the spring equinox, which is a holiday for Night People and especially vampires, as it's the anniversary of the day Maya - the first vampire - turned Thierry and thus created the vampire race. Rashel comes to realize the kidnapped girls are being taken to be devoured at a Blood Feast celebrating the equinox. |

To call it a horror story would be an overstatement, but A Christmas Carol revolves around Ebenezer Scrooge's visited by four ghosts (of varying degrees of creepiness) on Christmas Eve, making this trope Older Than Radio.. |

Unsounded: During an in-universe holiday ("Tirna's Day", when a pair of shrine maidens get delivered to a town to be 'anointed'), psychotic renegades from two rival empires clash in Litrya Shrine, slaughter the servants, molest and (indirectly) kill two of the maidens, kill off one of the main characters, and generally get themselves killed or ruined at the end. And it's possible the day will conclude with yet another town massacre from the giant zombie cyborg. |

The Hack/Slash comic Entry Wound had every holiday-related slasher "waking up" early due to a cosmic disturbance. While various holiday slashers are alluded to,◊ the main villain of the story was a Groundhog Day-based one (if the groundhog sees his shadow, six weeks of death ensue). The comic also has an amusing Deconstruction of the trope, as Cassie and Vlad usually take out those slashers rather easily by just finding their resting place on a regular Tuesday and blowing it up while they are still hibernating. |

The latter half of Spellbinder (1996) takes place in the lead up to Halloween, or Samhain as the witches call it, with the climatic showdown with Suzanne's ghost taking place on Halloween night. It's justified in that the "veil" between the living world and the 'beyond' is thinnest at this time of year, which is likely how Thea was able to summon Suzanne and is also required to banish her. It also poses a significant risk to the students of Lake Mead High because of the Halloween Dance they're throwing, which includes decorations of witches being tortured that are bound to enrage Suzanne, given her history. |

It's actually played with in regards to the third book. Hermione even points out that they were lucky everyone was at the Great Hall for the feast when Sirius Black attempted to break into the Gryffindor Tower, having assumed he had lost track on time while being on the run. However, with the reveal that Sirius is innocent, Sirius intentionally picked that day because no students would be in the tower, so he could go after Peter Pettigrew and that Lupin would be confined in his office as a werewolf as that year happened to have a full moon that night. |

The Mothman Prophecies, though set over several months, climaxes with the collapse of the Silver Bridge. As in real life, most of the people caught in the disaster are coming home from their Christmas shopping, and there's a lot of imagery of wrapped presents floating in the frigid water. In the movie, 36 people are killed in the collapse, but in real life, it was actually 46. |
