THE PIT Watch Party Is Coming October 1

In two and a half weeks—Saturday, October 1—Neon Splatter is throwing a watch party! After the success of our 100 MONSTERS watch along, we’ve decided to do this again. The movie this time will be 1981’s THE PIT, a bizarre mix of children’s film and monster movie and sleaze, directed by Lew Lehman from a script by Ian. A. Stuart.

The plot summary for THE PIT is:

Twelve year-old Jamie Benjamin is a misunderstood lad. His classmates pick on him, his neighbors think he's weird and his parents ignore him. But now Jamie has a secret weapon: deep in the woods he has discovered a deep pit full of man-eating creatures he calls Trogs... and it isn't long before he gets an idea for getting revenge and feeding the Trogs in the process!
