	Kev's Stephen King House of The Tommyknockers
		In an effort to figure out what the thing is, Bobbi begins to scoop out the dirt around it, and in doing so, seals her fate.
		Ultimately, The Tommyknockers remains readable and interesting, but unfortunately stands as a bloated shadow to what it could have been.
		The Tommyknockers IS too long, and too weighed down by pages of dense exposition that isn't integral to the plot.

	Michael Jackson's Beer Hunter - Fool's Gold and other Colorado pleasures
		If a miner believed in such manifestations, the Tommyknockers would do nothing worse than blow out his lamp, and might even lead him to the mother lode.
		Tommyknocker's founders are Tim Lenahan, formerly of the Breckenridge brewery, and Charlie Sturdavant.
		Tommyknocker's beers, include a crisp Klsch called Fool's Gold; a lemony-tasting wheat ale, Jack Whacker; the malty, Oktoberfest-like, Red Eye Lager, a toffeeish Maple Nut Brown; the pithily hoppy Pick Axe Pale Ale; the eight-percent Butthead Bock, as warming and flavoursome as raspberries in brandy; and the smoky Black Powder Stout.

	The tale of the tommyknockers - short story Saturday Evening Post - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Tommyknockers came to California with the Cornishmen in the latter days of the Gold Rush, and there were those who swore they'd seen them then - wizened little men scarcely a foot high who knocked on tiny anvils with hammers the size of darning needles to warn the miners of impending disaster.
		When the mules hauled out the ore and a "super" berated a miner for a bad tally, he needed speak only the simple truth: All night long, the Tommyknockers had raised 'ell in the barns, pulling the mules' tails and blowing in their ears.
		Now, he could say that when a man spends his life underground, he develops an uncanny sense that warns him of trouble coming, and he could say that the sounds he'd heard were only the old timbers complaining of their terrible burden.

	Classic-Horror Review of The Tommyknockers (1993)
		The worst offenders are the effects in The Tommyknockers' finale, which features creatures that look like rejects from a more well-respected late 70's film (which I can't name lest I reveal a spoiler) and an extremely choppy, and almost inexcusably gleeful (compared to the novel) ending.
		The effects of "the Tommyknockers" on the citizens of Haven (or Haven Falls; the film isn't consistent about the proper name) work as both a parallel to addiction and a metaphor for aging, both of which contain much deep-seated fear for most of us.
		Unfortunately, you have to dig a bit for either subtext to make much of a statement, and this is one King film that would have probably worked better with a mega-budget on a big screen.

	TOMMYKNOCKERS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Tommyknockers are small, elfin creatures who came along as part of the folklore brought by the Cousin Jack miners when they moved to this country from their native Cornwall in southwestern England.
		The Tommyknockers live deep in abandoned parts of mines; they are never seen but are heard making sharp tap-tapping sounds in the walls of the rock passageways.
		Tommyknockers enjoy sampling stray lunch pails and they are especially fond of snatching homemade Cornish pastries.

		Well, in my opinion The Tommyknockers is quite simply stunning and one of the very best from The Master, definitely in my top 5 (The Stand, IT, The Shining and The Dead Zone being the others).
		Up to that point "The Tommyknockers" is pretty good and I have to admit that I thought the idea of alien technology working into the ancient rubric that there are some things human beings were not meant to tamper with was enough to sustain the story.
		This novel represents the start of a period in King's writing where my recurring complaint was that the great set up never resulted in an ending that was equal to the task, although we do have a sort of reverse "deus ex machina" at the end of this one.

		In "Tommyknockers", Reberta 'Bobbie' Anderson finds a UFO in her back yard, and begins digging it up as it changes her (or she starts 'becoming').
		Gard all but says that during his last conversation with Bobbi, but it is better unsaid; I doubt it would have made a difference in the outcome anyway had he pointed this out to Bobbi.
		The Tommyknockers grant you the power to turn your vaccum cleaner into a flying weapon, but in turn they take away your soul.

	The Tommyknockers of the Western Mines
		The Tommyknockers were first heard of in the United States when Cornish miners worked in the western Pennsylvania coal mines in the 1820’s.
		Later, the legend of the Tommyknockers evolved into the idea that the knockings were caused by dead miners who were kind enough to give warnings of danger to the living.
		In some mines, where the Tommyknockers’ presence was known to be overwhelmingly malevolent, the mines were forced to close because of the mens’ fear of the spirits.

		The Tommyknockers starts off in a quiet little town in (huge surprise here) Maine, where we are introduced to our main characters, Jim Gardner (played by the miscast Jimmy Smits) and Bobbi Anderson (Marg Helgenberger).
		The townspeople are all suddenly under the spell of "The Tommyknockers", able to achieve great things, while losing the ability to love and enjoy life.
		Anyway, I don't mind telling you that "The Tommyknockers" are actually long dead aliens that have found a way to suck the life out of the townspeople to bring themselves back, and the object in the forest is their spaceship.

		Film adaptations of Stephen King novels are seldom as good as the books on which they're based, and really that's not surprising as it must be almost impossible to encompass the depth of history and character that Mr King gets into his novels.
		The Tommyknockers is no different from this, and even though it is some time since I read the book, there were blindingly obvious sections of the book that were either changed, missed out or glossed over for ease of bringing the book to the big screen.
		it turns out to be a place where 'the tommyknockers' live, and who have started to take over the villages peoples bodies, and have kidnapped a young boy too.

		The Tommyknockers is a TV miniseries based on Stephen King's 1987 novel.
		An alien spacecraft has been buried beneath the Burning Woods near the small rural New England community of Haven for millions of years, but has now by chance been unearthed by Bobbi (Marg Helgenberger) while digging around in the woods behind her house.
		THE TOMMYKNOCKERS is also home to one of the most chilling shots in horror history (which plays just after the opening credits end) when Helgenberger turns around in the woods with the hood up and we see her as one of the mutates.

	dOc DVD Review: The Tommyknockers (1993)
		When you have invested a total of 181 minutes watching a film, you are really left with a bad taste in your mouth when the climax plays out like a remarkably silly Alien clone.
		If you haven't read King's novel The Tommyknockers, I would suggest you saunter down to the library and pick it up, rather than taking a chance on this adaptation.
		The film is split into two parts, as it was on television, with one part per side.
