The Burning (1981)

Continuity mistake: In the raft scene the boy at the front right, from his view, is kneeling on his left leg. When the camera cuts behind them he's suddenly kneeling on his right leg and remains on this leg through every other angle.

Revealing mistake: When the skull the children leave at the caretaker's hut falls over and engulfs him in flames you can see the stuntman's protective head gear.

Continuity mistake: The amount of foam and shampoo in the blonde girl's hair in the outdoor shower is inconsistent throughout the entire scene between all camera angles.

Trivia: Both this movie and "Friday The 13th Part 2" (which came out the same year as this movie) share a scene where one of the counselors tells a campfire story about the villain of the film they're in. In both movies, the story ends with one of their friends wearing a mask and carrying a fake weapon, jumping out and scaring everyone, providing the audience with a fake scare.

Trivia: One year prior to this, Tom Savini worked on the special effects for the first Friday the 13th film. Savini was approached to return for the second film but turned it down as he felt it shouldn't have a sequel and disliked the idea of Jason being revealed to still be alive and becoming the new killer. He elected to work on this film instead.
