This week we kick off our Summerween Spectacular with The Burning. Released in 1981, and often compared to Friday the 13th, this summer slasher takes place in upstate New York where an abusive camp caretaker named Cropsy is horribly burned from a prank gone wrong at Camp Blackfoot. Five years later, he returns to Camp Stonewater with garden shears, seeking revenge on those responsible for his disfigurement.
