With Stanley Kubrick Month in the rearview mirror, it's time to talk horny summer campers, sadistic slashers, and a ton of nudity with Jess Byard June. To kick off the aforementioned month, we'll be taking a look at one of the few summer camp slasher flicks that were hard to find in its uncut form until recently The Burning. The film features a veritable cavalcade of then up, and coming talent who would go on to have successful careers such as Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens, and Holly Hunter and some significant effects work from the legendary Tom Savini. While the film doesn't feature the most memorable villain or the most original plot, it's a worthy entry into the summer camp slasher subgenre. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Cropsey's weapon of choice, the film's use of style, and whether it deserves the praise it gets.
