Celebrity birthday highlights for October 12, 2025:

• Actress Lin Shaye (1943) is the underrated scream queen who got started in horror 43 year's ago in "Alone in the Dark" and has been the constant anchor of the "Insidious" franchise's five films. She's set to appear in the next "Insidious" film, and if you need a break from scary you can always rewatch her as Magda in "There's Something About Mary."

• Actor Hugh Jackman (1968) defined a generation of superhero cinema as Wolverine before pivoting to movie musicals with "Les Misérables" and "The Greatest Showman." His 2024 return in "Deadpool & Wolverine" pushed the film past the billion mark and reminded everyone why he owns the claws.

• Actor Josh Hutcherson (1992) grew up on screen from "Bridge to Terabithia" to "Journey to the Center of the Earth" before leading the YA juggernaut "The Hunger Games." Recent turns include the 2024 action hit "The Beekeeper" and a horror run that continues with "Five Nights at Freddy’s 2."
