The Burning (also released as "Cropsy" and "Carnage"), the 1981 Tony Maylam Canadian/U.S. summer camp slasher horror thriller ("A legend of terror is no campfire story anymore!"; "It will take you further than fear."; "Today is not Friday the 13th but if you see this movie alone.... you'll never be the same again!"; "It happened in upstate N.Y. Reports described 'a killing machine', 'a bizarre freak of nature, a force of superhuman strength'. The townspeople denied its existence. The earth is stained with the blood of those who found it real"; "The real story of the Cropsy Horror"; "Created and Produced by Harvey Weinstein"; "Story by Harvey Weinstein, Tony Maylamb, Brad Grey"; "Screenplay by Peter Lawrence and Bob Weinstein") starring Brian Matthews, Leah Ayres, Brian Backer, Larry Joshua, Lou David (billed as "Lou David as Cropsy"), Ned Eisenberg, Jason Alexander (in his first movie role, with hair!), Carrick Glen, Fisher Stevens (in his first movie role), and Holly Hunter (in her first movie role). Note that this was the very first movie produced by Harvey Weinstein, who went on to win an Academy Award for Shakespeare in Love! However, in 2017, numerous allegations of sexual assault between Weinstein and dozens of actresses came to light. In 2020, he was convicted of two felonies, and sentenced to 23 years in prison.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by Brian Matthews!

Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1970s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items. Both we and our consignor feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity.

Condition: good. The poster has light ripples scattered throughout, due to exposure to moisture.
