The Pit, (Teddy, con el diablo adentro) Teddy, La Mort en Peluche

Año 1981

Sinopsis:

Jamie Benjamín, niño autista de doce años, está enfermo y cansado de la crueldad de la gente del pueblo donde vive. Los chicos lo humillan, los adultos lo ignoran y solo su institutriz lo excita.

Jamie encuentra una oportunidad para vengarse de todos cuando accidentalmente descubre un gran hoyo en el campo, dentro del cual hay unas extrañas criaturas prehistóricas a las cuales él las llama "trogs". A partir de allí comienza una excitante trama de suspenso y horror, ya que para alimentar su amistad y el propio crecimiento de los seres, éstos requieren de carne humana para seguir viviendo.. . y es cuando uno a uno van desapareciendo los enemigos de Jamie hasta llegar al desenlace final que lo sorprenderá totalmente.

12 year old Jamie (Sammy Snyders) is an autistic child struggling with day to day life. With no friends to speak of, Jamie must instead spend time with the reptiles in his terrarium, his stuffed bear, Teddy, and a half dozen troglodytes that dwell in a pit in the middle of the woods about a mile from his home. Jamie’s also more than a little curious of the female anatomy (frankly, he’s a horny little bastard) and will do anything to get a peak here and there at older women. With his parents going away, a new housekeeper, Sandy (Jeannie Elias) will be watching over him. Quite the odd-ball, it’s no wonder Jamie’s prior sitters haven’t come back to pay him a visit... right? Teddy isn’t your average bear, either, as he speaks to Jamie and tells him things to do, and they’re generally not good. With a lack of money to buy food and fed up with bullying and guys hoarding in on his potential ladies, Jamie decides to begin feeding townspeople that he considers bad to the trogs deep in the woods.
