Cropsy Magnets

You may have heard of him in legend, but have you heard of Cropsy the character from the classic Tom Savini effects pic, "The Burning". I mean George Costanza (Jason Alexander), Fisher Stevens, Holly Hunter, all together in a slasher pic?! Ya gotta see that right?

Welcome to Camp Blackfoot, there's a killer on the lose and he's seeking revenge for a prank-gone-wrong. Sure we've seen it before, but have we ever seen it mixed with the myth of Cropsy?

They never found his body, but they say his spirit lives in the forest. This forest. A maniac, a thing no longer human.

The Burning is a 1981 American slasher film that follows a summer camp caretaker who is horribly burnt from a prank gone wrong, leaving him to seek vengeance at a nearby summer camp years later. The screenplay is loosely based on the New York urban legend of the Cropsey maniac, and was theatrically released on May 8, 1981 by Filmways. While the film did not generate the interest nor revenue achieved by other slasher films at the time, it has since become a cult classic and received positive reappraisal from film critics.
