Birthdays are usually fun (for most people), an occasion to look forward to where one gets to receive gifts, hear restaurant waitstaff sing, and be pampered by friends and loved ones. However, for some unfortunate people, their birthday is also the day that they die. In fiction, whether this is done for comedy or for tragedy, this is something that's generally played up for its morbid Irony — an anniversary date marking when one entered into the world also coming to signify one's departure from it. In general, death can come for a person on their birthday in any number of ways. Murder, suicide, and accidents are all very common (in cases of murder, targeting a victim on their birthday may not necessarily be directly tied to a motive beyond Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday and often may simply be a sort of Contrived Coincidence). Elderly characters, specifically, may suddenly die of old age. Studies of this general phenomenon in Real Life refer to it as The Birthday Effect — a statistical curiosity where an individual's likelihood of dying appears to increase on or close to their birthday. Common explanations for this in real life include alcohol being a factor (lots of grown-ups consume alcohol on their birthday, and some of them drive while intoxicated and end up in a fatal car accident) and psychological stresses (depression and possibly having suicidal thoughts). In Jewish culture, dying on one's own birthday is particularly deemed a blessing, indicating that the departed soul had completed their God-given Earthly mission. A Sub-Trope of A Birthday, Not a Break, where bad things in general happen to somebody on their birthday. Compare Dangerous 16th Birthday, where turning 16 puts a young person in danger; Ironic Birthday, when a character arrives at their own surprise birthday party at an inopportune moment; Retirony, where death coincides with another life milestone. See Also: Significant Birth Date, Death by Irony, Life/Death Juxtaposition, Birth-Death Juxtaposition, Bookends. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Made in Abyss: There is a mysterious disease that occurs on the surface around the Abyss where a person falls horribly ill on their birthday, and by the end of the day, they will have died. The mysterious disease is theorized to be the cause of the praying skeleton tombs that date back every 2000 years. The only known survivor of the birthday disease is Kiyui, who recovered in mere minutes after he was taken out of the Abyss' vicinity and taken onto the caravan fleet by Mio. | |

According to Jewish tradition and the The Talmud, Moses was both born and died on the 7th of Adar. The three patriarchs and King David are also believed to have passed away on their birthdays. Rosh Hashana 11a claims that the reason for this is that God sits and “completes the years of the righteous from day to day and from month to month,� based on a Biblical verse, “The number of your days I will fulfill� (Exodus 23:26). | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Old Money", Grandpa Simpson falls in love with a lady named Beatrice Simmons and promises to attend her birthday. However, he is dragged into a discount lion safari by Homer and his family. When he returns to the Retirement Castle later that night, he finds out that Bea died of a burst ventricle (literally, a broken heart). Because he was unable to attend her last birthday, Grandpa then says that she died of a broken heart in the metaphorical sense. In the episode "Stark Raving Dad", the "Itchy & Scratchy" cartoon that Bart and Lisa watch entails Itchy killing Scratchy at his birthday party. The "Treehouse of Horror XXXI" segment "Be Nine, Rewind" spoofs Happy Death Day by having Lisa die in grisly ways over and over again on her 9th birthday. |

Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction: The segment "Bad Dreams" from Season 4, Episode 9 is about a woman who keeps dreaming about dying on her 30th birthday. She believes this is a premonition, and she spends her birthday alone with her husband in sheer terror, as events from her premonition come true, but when she survives, she's relieved, and she stops having the dreams. However, one year later, when a proper birthday party is being held in her honor, a relative explains to her husband that her grandmother (who helped raise her after her parents died when she was a small child) actually got her age wrong and reveals that she is one year younger than she thought she was, meaning this second party is actually her 30th birthday. Once again, events from the woman's original premonition start happening, and moments later she is found stone dead. At the end of the episode, Jonathan Frakes reveals this story to be a work of fiction. | |

American Dad!: In the episode "Ricky Spanish", Roger, in his alter ego Ricky Spanish, aims to make right with all the people he had wronged. This involves paying a visit to Bullock's house to apologize for having killed his wife on her birthday. A Cutaway Gag depicts Roger as Ricky Spanish impaling his wife with a katana sword as she blows out the candles on her birthday cake. Bullock, however, seems to have no recollection of the incident and doesn't appear perturbed when reminded about it because he's in the middle of a wild cocaine binge. | |

Scream 3: The movie's climax takes place at Roman's birthday party at John Milton's mansion. Played around with. After everyone at the party splits up to look for secret passageways, Roman uses this moment to first fake his own death (Gale finds him in a trunk with a large knife sticking out of his stomach) before later revealing himself to be the Ghostface killer and explaining his motives to Sidney. The two of them fight, and in the end, Sidney stabs Roman in the back, twice, with an icepick. Roman ultimately dies from these injuries (and an additional headshot from Dewey) but not before sharing a sibling moment with his half-sister, Sidney, who takes some sympathy on him. | |

At the moment an opening narrator—who already shot and killed another narrator—tells the audience that most people living in "the hood" won't even get to reach the age of 21, he is presented with a birthday cake for his 21st birthday as a friend sings, "Happy Birthday, Homey" The very moment he tries to blow out the candles on his cake, he, too, gets shot and killed. | |

Charmed (1998): Cole Turner's final death happened during his birthday after he changed reality where Paige was murdered so he can be together with Phoebe again. After his death, the changes in reality were undone while he remained dead. To hammer this home even further, the changes in reality also resulted that Cole was back to being Belthazor and lost his invulnerability, meaning he died as the half-demon he was born as. At the end of the episode, Paige said "Happy birthday, Cole" after he's been vanquished. | |
