When I was about 11 I got seriously into horror and my Dad tells me one day "Watch 'The Burning'". He saw it on the Movie Channel. The next day it was on after school and I was blown away. Scared stiff as a board there in 1984. The soundtrack is epic!

Sadly this is one of the most underrated slasher films of all time, even despite this amazing theme.

I saw this film also in 1984, and over 35 years I was searching for the thrilling soundtrack..without success. Now that I got him, I am listening to this wonderful piece of timeless music over and over again..

Saw this movie for the first time 2 years ago and I loved it.

[michaelarojas]

Such an underrated slasher film with a great soundtrack!

[GaryMonk-zpfg]

An underrated film and an underrated score makes me think about the 80s horror movies🙌🏽

[Tarbtano]

It is uncanny how similar the Pokemon 2000 theme is to this.

[ADCelManiaco]

One of the soundtracks for which I started to get interested in 80's cinema.
I love it (especially between 2:16 and 2:32).

Grew up with this film. A great slasher with an awesome soundtrack.

One of my favorites B-movies of that time

Omg this is where the lugia song came from

[GoldnBlackShark]

Randomly found this movie on Netflix one day and decided to watch it. It was actually a pretty decent slasher film that had a good plot to it.

Someone pointed out that the theme for Pokémon 2000 sounds almost exactly the same, haha. Note: meaning the part that begins at 00:20.

[ABGreer]

Amazing I love it and I love the movie too.

[jay]

Out of context this doesn’t sound like horror movie music but somehow it works in the movie

[ThatGreenSpy]

I just can't shake the feeling that this was the inspiration for the credits music of Donkey Kong Country 2.

[jonsaltberry]

2:15 This part could easily be a song from the band Ghost.

Este soundtrack me trae mucha nostalgia conforme pasá el tiempo The Burning fué una película qué disfrute la verdad me gustan las películas de terror en especial los slashers.

Hi Josh, what a film this was. Totally surprised that it wasn’t a Dario argento movie to be honest with a ELP soundtrack. Take care mate
