I don't know if you know this about me or have somehow picked up on it over the past two some-off years, but I'm a super-fan of 80's slasher flicks. One of my favorite lesser known (or better yet, underappreciated) entries is director J. Lee Thompson’s HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME starring Melissa Sue Anderson. The film gets silly as all shite as it heads towards its "twist ending", but I love it all the same.
And if you're as much of a fan of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME as I am, then you need to make sure to take note that Mill Creek Entertainment with be releasing the semi-classic slasher on Blu-ray – get this – with special retro VHS packaging, exclusively at Walmart this Halloween! You can check out a pic of the sweet new set below.
Along with Anderson, the cult classic 80’s slasher co-stars Glenn Ford, Lawrence Dane, Sharon Acker, and Frances Hyland and follows this synopsis:
Welcome to upscale Crawford Academy, where everyone – especially new student Ginny (Melissa Sue Anderson) – wants to be part of the school’s most popular clique. But now somebody has begun butchering the group’s members. Could a deadly accident from Ginny’s past be connected to the brutal killings? And as her 18th birthday approaches, will Ginny be the guest of honor at the most horrific party of all?
J. Lee Thompson’s cult slasher HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME starring Melissa Sue Anderson will be sold exclusively at Walmart with special retro VHS packaging via Mill Creek Entertainment beginning October 30th. Do you plan to snag a copy of this Walmart exclusive? Let us know below!
