'''''[[The Burning''']]'' is a [[Slasher Flick]] from the year 1981. It was directed by Tony Maylam. It featured special effects by Tom Savini and its music was composed by keyboardist Rick Wakeman (of [[David Bowie]] and [[Yes]] fame).
 
Five years after a group of kids set Camp Blackfoot's cruel caretaker, Cropsy, on fire (in a prank involving a skull with candles for eyes), he gets released from the hospital. After killing a prostitute, Cropsy heads back to the camp with a pair of [[Weapon of Choice|hedge clippers]] and starts offing campers left and right.
 
A former [[Video Nasty]] due to some rather bloody death scenes (most notably the infamous raft sequence, which ended up being heavily censored in order to get an R-Rating rating), the film is mainly known for its lack of availability for many years; the VHS release quickly fell out of print, causing the film to gain cult status amongstamong horror fans who were lucky enough to see the filmit. After years of being in limbo due to rights issues, it finally saw an uncut DVD release in 2007.
