Holidays and crashes

The last crash (1987) coincided with a banking holiday in England 
which was before. One of the reasons for the crash was supposed to be 
that because of the holiday there was an order back-log so that all 
trading concentrated on the following day.

What happens if there is a catalyst (negative event) on Monday. Same 
story again ?

Has anyone got any statistics regarding holidays and the volatility 
after those days ? And is there any correlation between the direction 
of the market before the holiday and after ?

Unfortunately I do not have any holiday data.
