🔥 Next up on the SPOOK-O-RAMA lineup is one of the most underrated slashers of all time—THE BURNING (1981) 🔥Often overshadowed by the massive success of Friday the 13th and its sequel, The Burning landed in theaters at the height of the slasher boom, but sadly, it didn’t get the love (or press) it deserved. Had this blood-soaked gem been released just a year earlier, it could have redefined the entire slasher subgenre!
What sets The Burning apart is its gritty realism and masterful gore effects, courtesy of the legendary Tom Savini, who turned Cropsy’s wrath into nightmare fuel with just a pair of garden shears. Add to that a killer summer camp vibe, a memorable score by Rick Wakeman, and early performances by future stars like Jason Alexander and Holly Hunter, and you’ve got a cult classic that’s been horrifying fans for decades.
Whether you’re revisiting this brutal gem or experiencing it for the first time, prepare for a relentless, blood-soaked ride that cements The Burning as one of the best camp slashers in horror history.
