10 Worst Birthdays In Horror Movies

Sadly this time we’re not talking about a frog birthday, but we’re finishing our list back in the human realm with this early 70’s nature horror.

Grumpy old man and established nature-hater Jason is anticipating his upcoming birthday party. He sends out a man to put pesticide all around his large estate, wanting to kill off all living organisms that may be lurking and hopping around in the undergrowth. This, it turns out, wasn’t a good idea.

As his family arrive and begin the celebrations, one by one they are attacked and killed by various creatures: from geckos creating a noxious gas through to the classic swarm of tarantulas chowing down on one’s body.

Nature is fighting back against Jason and his vendetta against all things great and small, and even as he insists nothing can interrupt or spoil his birthday party, you have to acknowledge at one point that multiple deaths of loved ones will inevitably dampen the atmosphere.

He does nothing to encourage pity or sympathy from the audience, so by the time Jason’s birthday has come to an end and he sits alone in his house, we can’t help but smile when hundreds of frogs descend onto his grounds and eat him alive.

As entertaining as it is for us, however, as far as birthdays go, suffering from death by frogs has got to rank pretty low on the enjoyment scale.
