Episode 3: The Burning (1981) & Summer of 84 (2018)
As we head into the second half of August and the spooky season approaches, we thought we'd seek out a little bit of last-minute summertime fun from the Shudder library. Our vintage pick this week is 1981's The Burning, a summer-camp slasher flick that went up against the mighty Friday the 13th franchise and... let's just say, got a little lost in the woods. While the film doesn't include any hockey masks, vengeful mamas, or brutal sleeping-bag kills, it does feature a very young Jason Alexander (a decade before his casting in Seinfeld) as well as some typically stellar FX work from Tom Savini -- who, at the time, was fresh off his experience on the first Friday film. And then, continuing the nostalgia trip in a slightly different way, Chris and Nick review the 2018 Shudder exclusive Summer of 84, a film that borrows heavily from Hitchcock's Rear Window and also gives off some serious Stranger Things vibes with its Reagan-era suburban setting and themes of boyhood friendship in the face of mortal terror.
