Don't look he'll see you. Don't breathe he'll hear you. Don't move you're dead.
For this post, I have credit one of my favorite sites to visit, DC's Men of the Moment. The site not only spotlights many great scenes of male skin, they also disrobe a long list of horror hunks every October. I'd never heard of 1981's The Burning, but given my love of horror flicks from the 1970's and 1980's, after seeing some caps on DC's site, I had to check it out!
The film is based on the New York urban legend of the Cropsey maniac. It opens where else, at a summer camp, this one, called Camp Blackfoot. The opening scenes depicts a prank gone horribly wrong after some of the male counsellors playing a joke resulting in the camp caretaker ending up horribly burned.
Five years later, the caretaker lurks around the upstate New York summer camp with garden shears, bent on killing as many teenagers as possible as retribution for his disfigurement. Like in almost every horror story, especially those with horny teen counsellors, the quickest way to get slaughtered is to have sex. That's exactly what happens to Glazer, (Larry Joshua) in the scene featured here.
Most of the counsellors are your typical horror flick character tropes. There's the hottie, (Brian Matthews) the bully, (Joshua) and the camp nerds. (Brian Backer, Fisher Stevens and J.R. McKechnie) This was sadly McKechnie's one and only film, (he was cute) but most of you have seen Steven and Backer before. Backer was one of the stars of Fast Times At Ridgemont High, filmed the following year.
Also apart of the nerd squad was Dave, played by Seinfeld's Jason Alexander in his feature film debut. Early in the film, when the camp's bully is trying to impress some female counsellors, he four pals shoot rubber end darts, hitting and embarrassing him. As he shouts some treats at them, they laugh, turn and moon him with (l-r) Alexander, Fisher and McKechnie baring their buns.
