Hey goons and happy Monday as Slashers Podcast continues this month of August with part 2 of our Wet Hot Slashers Summer. Today Jake, Doug, Jason and Ade dissect the garden shear slasher flick, The Burning. Written by Bob Weinstein and Peter Lawrence, and produced by the scum-sucking brother whose name need not be mentioned, the film follows a summer camp caretaker who is horribly burnt by a prank gone wrong, who then seeks revenge at the summer camp years later.  The film was released in May of 1981 and stars Brian Matthews, Leah Ayres, Lou David, Jason Alexander, Holly Hunter and Fisher Stevens. While there are a ton of things wrong with this slasher flick, it is unique in the kills that Tom Savini cooks up, and does have some appeal. Would it make for a good remake if we take out all of the problems and keep practical effects?  Let us know your thoughts! This is streaming on Tubi so if you haven’t watched, we highly recommend it.
