Bad quote for the following reasons: 1) It cannot be understood by someone who hasn\'t watched the movie. 2) The pit in the movie is not a Snake Pit as this page describes it (i.e., an execution device), but an underground vault that just happens be overrun with snakes (no human agency involved). 3) The trope is not only about snakes.
