Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on June 06, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Robert Englund! You're the only guy who can make nightmares entertaining and insomnia seem like a survival skill. From haunting Elm Street to becoming everyone's favorite razor-gloved villain, you've turned Freddy Krueger into an iconic figure that keeps us awake—and laughing—decades later.

Whether you're slicing through dreams or charming fans at conventions, your charisma never fades. Your recent appearances remind us why we love horror: it's scary good fun when you're involved! Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer screams (unless they're from laughter) and more cake than chaos. Sweet dreams—or maybe not!
