    Tarek Sharkawy This is the film that launched the careers of acclaimed producers Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein. Their mother Miriam Weinstein is also a pre-production assistant on the film.
    Tarek Sharkawy The Burning found itself at the center of some controversy in the early 1980s when the uncut version of the film was released on videotape by the British video label Thorn-EMI; the company was supposed to release the slightly trimmed version passed by the British Board of Film Classification. The tapes were impounded under the Obscene Publications Act, and The Burning was added to the video nasties list. The two major scenes of contention were Cropsy's frantic mass-murder spree in the raft massacre sequence and the sight of a pair of scissors piercing a woman's flesh in the post-title sequence.
    Tarek Sharkawy The wardrobe of the film is vastly the actual wardrobe of the cast. There was rarely a costume-person on set.
    Tarek Sharkawy To create Cropsy's distorted POV shots, the cinematographer rubbed Vaseline on the outside edges of the camera lens.
