Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on December 04, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Mick Garris! From shaping Stephen King's nightmares into cinematic thrills—most notably Sleepwalkers—to bringing suspenseful stories vividly to life on screen, you've brilliantly terrified generations. Thanks for making 'cat allergies' forever suspicious and giving us reason number 352 not to trust cute stray animals.

Your remarkable adaptations breathe relentless fear (and even humor) into storytelling that keeps audiences captivated decades later. As your recent projects showcase yet another successful dive deeper into visionary darkness—we celebrate you today knowing the horror genre remains creepily comforting because of talents like yours!

Cheers Mick; keep those delightfully disturbing tales coming our way!
