Film fact:
Edited by Jack Sholder who went on to direct New Line Cinema’s first movie, Alone in the Dark (1982), A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), The Hidden (1987), Arachnid (2001), plus other genre titles.
Censorship:
The Burning appeared on the British Director of Public Prosecution’s list as a so-called ‘video nasty‘ when major company Thorn EMI issued it in an uncensored version seemingly by mistake but was quickly dropped from the list when the BBFC ‘X’ rated version was substituted. This censored version was stamped by EMI on its label to differentiate it from the uncut version, dealers being encouraged to return any ‘rogue’ copies.
