The Burning	comment	The Burning is an American Slasher Movie from 1981, conceived and produced by an early-career Harvey Weinstein (yes, the same person you're thinking of), written by Bob Weinstein and Peter Lawrence, and directed by Tony Maylam, with special effects by Tom Savini and a music score composed by keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The cast includes Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens, and Holly Hunter in their film debuts.Five years after a group of kids accidentally set Camp Blackfoot's cruel caretaker, Cropsy (Lou David), on fire—the result of a prank involving a wormy skull with candles for eyes—he gets released from the hospital. After stabbing a prostitute, Cropsy heads back to the camp with a pair of garden shears and begins 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), 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 amongst horror fans who were lucky enough to see the film. After years of being in limbo due to rights issues, it finally saw an uncut DVD release in 2007.

It is possible, though, that Cropsy's features are an amalgamation of several worst-case scenarios and therefore unlikely in real life.

The climax was originally scripted to occur in a cave, but the first cave was full of bats, and the second collapsed before shooting could start, so the producers decided to use the ruins of an old mine the crew had stumbled across while filming.

The only person he successfully bullies at all is Alfred (who, let's face it, is creeping on his girlfriend), whom Todd and Dave immediately step in to protect. He spends the rest of the movie - until he's killed, at least - making empty threats as the other campers retaliate against him for his bullying, and sexually disappointing his girlfriend.
