What's left behind the scenes

  • Rick Wakeman is the keyboardist for the famous band "Yes".
  • This is the first film from the fledgling studio "Miramax" and the first film role for Holly Hunter and Jason Alexander.
  • The careers of famed producers Harvey and Bob Weinstein began with "The Burning," and their mother, Miriam, also participated in the film's creation.
  • The final part of the film was supposed to take place in a cave, but due to some problems, it became impossible to work there, and the filming location was changed at the last minute to the ruins of an abandoned copper mine.
  • All the "night scenes" in the forest were shot during the day, with the exception of the scenes around the campfire, which were genuinely filmed at night.

  • In France, the film was released under the title "Carnage" ("Slaughter").
  • According to Tony Maylam, the film was originally intended to have more scenes with a disfigured Cropy, but most of them were changed, and the maniac's face remained in shadow, this was done to make Cropy look more frightening.
