Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on January 19, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Kim Henkel! You're the genius who made chainsaws terrifyingly iconic—forever changing how we stroll through hardware stores everywhere. Without your twisted imagination, we'd never glance suspiciously at isolated farmhouses or find cheerful summer road trips oddly unsettling.

From co-writing "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," a groundbreaking horror classic, to inspiring generations of audiences to sleep with the lights on—you truly have carved out quite a legacy (pun intended!). Here's wishing you another year packed with thrills and chills...just maybe fewer power tools around birthday cake candles this time. Happy haunting—I mean celebrating!
