Don’t Go In The Woods (1981)

Or, Don’t Watch This Film Sober!

Don’t Go In The Woods was the first ever video nasty to jump out of the pages of The Dark Side magazine and into my crazed mind! The cover art fascinated me beyond belief.

Review: The Burning (1981)

A former summer camp caretaker, horribly burned from a prank gone wrong, lurks around an upstate New York summer camp bent on killing the teenagers responsible for his disfigurement…

The Burning kicks horror-movie ass! It has all the ingredients to make a perfect slasher movie. Creepy camp setting? Check. Annoying teenagers? Check. Dodgy 80’s synth music? Check. Prank that went horribly wrong a few years before? Check. You get the idea.
