I'm on my second watch of The Burning and I forgot how much I loved this. There's different tiers for what makes something a good or even "the perfect horror movie", but this is one of the best 80s slasher films ever.
The soundtrack is great. The characters actually look their age. The effects are solid. The writing is believable. The acting is so, so good. Cropsy is awesome and it's a shame that he never got to the status icon level of Michael, Freddy, Jason, or Bubba.
Why this never took off like other movies, especially one off titles, I'll never get. But it's great knowing it's become a cult classic.

Hi Guys,
Here another well-known Icon that gave me advice on creating my slasher script for Prom Queen, Tom Savini. Tom Savini was known as the SFX Makeup Artist for Night of the Living Dead, Creepshow, the Burning & Friday the 13th. A real master of his crafted who said, the best scares come from suspense.

Working my way through the movies I haven't seen on a top 100 list.
Watching
The Burning (1981)
Today
Rating: not scary
1 guy vs a bunch of campers.
1 guy doesn't have a long range weapon
Campers have paddles and wood logs
I just think if they weren't nerfed by horror movie logic this would be a no brainer.
