Anchor Bay sent along the press release for their upcoming DVD release of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME that is heading our way come Oct. 13th and it outlines just what goodies that the disc will have in store for us. Here's the info:
It's time to blow out the candles and sharpen the
shish-kebab spears, because the classic 1980's slasher favorite Happy
Birthday to Me is coming to DVD, courtesy Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Street date is October 13, 2009 with
a festive SRP of $14.98.
This edition of the film, however, has something missing
from the previous DVD release does not- the film’s haunting orchestral score,
as composed by Bo Harwood and Lance Rubin, which was NOT included on the first
DVD release and which fans have been clamoring for.
It is yet another example of why Anchor Bay Entertainment
is the undisputed leader in cult and classic horror home entertainment -they
give the fans what they want.
Happy Birthday to Me was directed by
Academy Award® nominee J. Lee Thompson (The Guns of Navarone, 10 to Midnight,
Murphy's Law) and stars Emmy Award® nominee Melissa Sue Anderson (Little
House on the Prairie, Midnight Offerings) and Golden Globe Award® winner and
Hollywood legend Glenn Ford (3:10 to Yuma, Blackboard Jungle, The Big Heat,
Superman), along with such familiar co-stars as Lawrence Dane (Scanners,
Of Unknown Origin, Bride of Chucky), Daytime Emmy Award® winner Tracy
Bregman (The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless) and Matt
Craven (Public Enemies, Crimson Tide, Jacob's Ladder).
Welcome to upscale Crawford Academy, where everybody -
particularly new student Ginny Wainwright (Anderson) - wants to be a part of the
school’s most popular clique. But now, it seems that they're dying to get
out, as a killer has been butchering the group's members, one by one. 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?
Part whodunit, part psychological thriller, part twisted
black comedy and full-tilt, full-blooded shocker, the original theatrical ads
for Happy Birthday to Me boasted six of the most bizarre murders
you will ever see! - and it delivered.
