whats the name of this movie about a boy who feeds some trolls that live in a hole in the ground in the woods?

Question

It was kinda like Gremlins or Critters, but I think it was some other movie. It was about a boy who finds a group of Troll like creatures that live in a big hole in the ground in the woods by his house. He lures people into the woods until they trip and fall into the hole in the ground where the creatures eat them I guess. So he keeps feeding them. He has a sister too. I saw it on late night tv way back sometime between 1987 and 93, not sure what year it was made.

Answer 1

...that was one creepy flick, man!!!

You're talking avout a little horror ditty from 1981, entitled "The Pit"; in the film, the boy is autistic, and he is being picked on by the neighborhood kids. His parents think he's distrubed, and they sort of ignore him. However, deep in the woods, the lad finds a black pit, where strange and voracious creatures, he calls Trogs or something. Putting two and two together, the boy figures out how to feed the creatures....and get some revenge, too.

That's gotta be the one you're looking for!!!

I have included a webpage, indictatng the film's availability on DVD; Anchor Bay Entertainment released the film on a double-feature disc, with the 1989 supernatural horror/revenge flick, entitled "Hellgate", starring Ron Palillo (yes, of the '70's "Welcome Back, Kotter" fame).
