Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on July 15, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Larry Cohen! May your special day be filled with more suspense than a ringing phone booth and fewer dropped calls than in "Cellular." Your knack for turning everyday gadgets into pulse-pounding thrillers has kept audiences gripping their seats—and nervously eyeing their phones—for years.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—perhaps another screenplay that makes us think twice before answering unknown numbers. Keep dialing up the thrills; after all, nobody does tension quite like you do. Cheers to many more birthdays as timelessly entertaining as your films (and hopefully less terrifying)!
