'Happy Birthday To Me' [01] - movie trailer-TV commercial (1981)

[TheAltair4]

Easily one of the best slashers of the 80's.

[TheTaylorJohnson1]

Good Movie but boring and slow paced at times

[zenmachinefilms]

Great trailer for one of the best slasher flicks from the 80's.

When this ad, and poster, came out the film was roundly criticized for "advertising murder" on the screen. It seems kind of cool and scary fun, almost normal now.

i loved this movie, even though it came out 17 years before i was born. i watched it on a free movie site and i fell in love with actors: jack blum (dude stabbed with hedger clippers)

matt craven (dude stabbed with Shiskabob in throat)

richard rebiere (weight lifting dude)

GREAT CAST AND CREW! a classic slasher that beats every other horror movie but nightmare on elm street!

This is the one trailer I remember seeing most often on TV before the move came out. Good times!

[acceptthis01]

One of the better directed slashers of the era (the director was also behind The Guns Of Navarone). I have the Anchor Bay release of this (with the original soundtrack, not the altered soundtrack on the Sony release).

Good Movie but Too Long

suprised they showed the weight crushing scne on a t.v. spot.. usually they dont shown any of the hardcore violence.. on tv spots.

Ha, I have the dvd version of ths movie and I kind of liked it, and the ending song during the credits got stuck in my head...plus that cake looks om-nom-nomable...I'mma get a cake like that for my birthday..

The shot of the killer holding the weight over the bench pressing dude has stayed with me to this day.

@CrouchingPoo CrouchingPOOP, I would most gladly come over to your place and drop a 50 pound weight on your nut sack.I wouldn't even bother to clean up the mess. A piece of shit like you? Please. Who'd miss your punk, bitch- ass anyway? I'd be doin' the world a favor.

[CrouchingPoo]

@ahrensgay love you too sweetheart!

I thought I imagined this trailer (especially the narration) since it's not turned up since. Thanks for posting! I remember seeing this during a show I watched called "Fridays".

[666moviefreak]
