Dark, graphic, and immediately menacing, this is a superb piece of early-1980s Japanese horror paper for one of the most enduring summer-camp shockers of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"528\" data-end=\"1063\"\u003eFilm background\u003cbr data-start=\"543\" data-end=\"546\"\u003eReleased in 1981, \u003cstrong data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"579\"\u003eThe Burning\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the key non-franchise slashers of the early 1980s. Set around a summer camp and built on the legend of the horribly disfigured \u003cstrong data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"727\"\u003eCropsy\u003c\/strong\u003e, the film follows a chain of revenge killings carried out with a pair of garden shears. Directed by \u003cstrong data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"843\"\u003eTony Maylam\u003c\/strong\u003e, it stands out for its grim tone, strong camp atmosphere, and its now-famous place within the golden age of American slasher cinema. Over time it has become a major cult favourite among horror collectors and genre fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1065\" data-end=\"1702\"\u003ePoster design\u003cbr data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1081\"\u003eThis Japanese poster is fantastically effective. The upper half is dominated by a huge \u003cstrong data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003eblack silhouette of Cropsy\u003c\/strong\u003e holding his garden shears aloft, turning the killer into an almost abstract figure of pure threat. Behind him, a bright white burst of light adds an ominous, near-supernatural intensity. At the bottom, a smaller high-contrast image of three teenagers trapped in a smoky night setting reinforces the film’s camp-horror mood, while the large pink Japanese title \u003cstrong data-start=\"1559\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003eバーニング\u003c\/strong\u003e cuts powerfully across the centre. It is a brilliant, stripped-down Japanese horror design—bold, sinister, and extremely displayable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003eCondition\u003cbr data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"1716\"\u003eVery Good \/ Excellent.
