Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on August 29, 1950)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Frank Henenlotter! You're officially older—but thankfully, unlike your beloved Basket Case character, age hasn't separated you from success or twisted storytelling. Your wild imagination keeps fans glued (occasionally horrified) and eternally entertained—just remember, cake-cutting should involve fewer suspicious-looking tools than those featured in Brain Damage!

Through bizarre plots and delightfully creepy effects, you've masterfully blended fear with fun. For decades now, your filmography has proven one thing clearly: cinematic horror would just be dull without your gleeful mayhem. Here's hoping this year's birthday celebration is filled with laughs, scares—and zero escaped monstrous basket brothers!
