Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on December 30, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Lloyd Kaufman! May your day be filled with more slime, mutants, and radioactive heroes than a Troma film festival. From unleashing the unforgettable Toxic Avenger upon an unsuspecting world to giving Shakespeare a gloriously twisted makeover in "Tromeo and Juliet," you've proven that cinema can be both delightfully disgusting and brilliantly subversive.

Your fearless creativity continues to inspire generations of filmmakers who proudly embrace their inner weirdness. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—perhaps another cult classic or at least fewer lawsuits from angry mutant janitors. Keep shocking us all; we wouldn't have it any other way!
