@Marisa In cases where a tumour is located close to regions of the brain responsible for essential functions such as language, cognition, sensation, and body movement, patients are kept awake (albeit mildly sedated) during the procedure in order to allow the surgeons to identify and map out those critical areas prior to removing any brain tissue. This is achieved by having the patient perform various tasks (reading, counting, &c.) whilst specific areas of the brain are stimulated, and allows the surgical staff to remove the tumour (or as much of it as is possible) without inadvertently damaging the areas identified during this intraoperative mapping process. It may be worth noting that the brain itself contains no pain receptors, and as the patient’s scalp is anaesthetised prior to the opening of the skull, there should be no pain or tactile awareness of the brain surgery itself.

In my early days in Hollywood, just out of film school, one of the producers of this film came to me to write an early draft for a horror movie idea he was doing with Melissa Sue Anderson. His idea was a Coke bottle being shoved down a guy's throat. I complained that it wasn't much of a plot device and didn't get the job. Now, if he had said shish-kabob skewer... I still would have given him shit. The writer they got knew how to play the situation and I commend him for it. Thank you for profiling a second film I had a minor connection with.

Also Ann wore the gloves to cover her fingerprints and the ceremonial knife has been taken by Ginny, so they've got her traces instead. And let's not forget that Amelia (the blonde girl outside) survived the night and definitely saw "Ginny" in the cottage around the corpses - that explains her catatonic reaction => one voice against in the court and others living members of the top ten also thought she's weird, so there's no much defense from them either.

The most bizarre moment in this movie was the bit where the dog leash, which was tied to the collar of the dog, and also being held by the old woman, somehow managed to lasso itself around the girl's leg like Indiana Jones' bullwhip.

18:26 At that point I was expecting the twist to be that Ginny had a twin sister that she forgot about due to the repressed memories. The twin shared her mother's anger over no one showing up to her and Ginny's 14th birthday, so she killed the kids supposed to go to their birthday. She was locked up somewhere until now, and killed Ginny's friends so she wouldn't celebrate her birthday alone again. To be fair, this isn't exactly an original idea. It's partially inspired by the twist in To The Moon and Gravity Falls.

@jeremiahnapier2516

That's actually the whole plot of another 80's slasher called "the Initiation". The main heroine had a twin sister, who attacked the lover of their mother when they were kids. That resulted in some memory problems for the protagonist and a lock-up in the looney bin for antagonist. The lover and their mom became officially married and their real dad, who burned up in the fight, became the garden keeper at the same asylum his daughter was. When the movie begins, the crazy twin escapes and starts killing all of her sister's friends, planning to pin it all on their dad (who was the √1 red herring throughout the movie) and eventually take her sister's place.

Buzz!! This was 1980-81, and along with "Happy Birthday To Me" (which I still love), we also went to see "Night School," w/Rachel Ward, "Heavy Metal" and "The Howling" (among others) It was a groovy old fashioned movie theater, and we always made sure to "feel groovy" when we went in!

KJ Beast There are three more movies that feature the birthday theme, while also being horror films; ‘Bloody Birthday’, ‘The Birthday’ and, ‘Happy Birthday’, all early 80’s to 2016 films. Although those last two are horror, while also being comedy films. ‘Bloody Birthday’ is a horror film that shows three naturally born serial killers at their most destructive while barely being of kid age, and terrorizing anyone they come across in their neighborhood and than some, in part, on their birthday. It’s good for what it was wanting to accomplish. Especially since you want someone to just destroy the kids while watching it, because they’re such monsters. And the kid actors playing the three psychopaths are able to pull off terrifying.

It'd be kinda a goofy twist, but it'd work better withwhat was there.

Brandon, I dare you to review "The Curse of the Mummy Cat". It is a movie so bad that there's not even an IMDb page for it. If you can actually sit through it, you'll have enough material for 3-4 videos. People who claim that such-and-such movie is "the worst movie ever made" have no idea what a truly bad movie is. In fact, for the rest of your life, when you watch a bad film, you'll be able to say "Well, this movie was bad, but it's still not as bad as The Curse of the Mummy cat." In fact, I hesitate to even call it a movie really, but it was promoted as such and sold on DVD so I guess it qualifies.

Nope. The girl in the rain was smacked with an axe in a cut scene by the railings.

Glad to see you back Brandon!

Even though some of the kills in this movie weren't as graphic(at all, lol) as some other movies, the ending of this one will always send chills down your spine to me.
