Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on July 21, 1953)

Happy Birthday, William Malone! May your special day be filled with fewer jump scares than "House on Haunted Hill," and far less creepy websites than "FeardotCom." Your films have terrified audiences for decades, proving that haunted mansions and sinister internet sites never go out of style.

Here's hoping your birthday cake isn't as scary as the creatures from "Scared to Death," and that your celebrations are more delightful than frightful. Thanks for all the chills, thrills, and sleepless nights you've given us—may this year bring you even greater success (and perhaps a few less nightmares). Cheers to you!
