These films are interested in acknowledging the effect of the experience on Laurie Strode and in seeing how that trauma has impacted her in their respective modern days. […]
A lot of people enjoy a good scare. Those people love watching horror movies, paranormal television shows that are creepy, and tell stories to each other about monsters, horrific events or things that could actually happen in real life.

Long before Happy Death Day there was Happy Birthday to Me, a Canadian slasher released in 1981. The film is probably more known for its VHS box art than anything else, so it seems right that the next Blu-ray release of the film will be housed in VHS-style packaging.
