It actually comes from an old nursery rhyme in England, it references the ghost of the minors who perished in the coal mine tunnels. The word Tommy is a reference to Englishman. Anyway the nursery rhyme reads “late last night and the night before, Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers, knocking at my door. I want to go out but I don’t think I can, because I’m too scared of the Tommyknocker man.”

Those rumors you talked about are absolutely correct Doug. Stephen King was so trashed on cocaine when he was writing this that he had to use toilet paper to stop his nosebleeds. He has admitted this himself. He has also admitted that he feels that this is the worst book he has ever written. To paraphrase him, " There's a brilliant 400 page novel hidden somewhere in these 700 pages of crap."

[@leob4403]

I dont always agree with King, he didnt like Kubrics Shining either. Tommyknockers is one of his best works imo

This video and all Nostalgia Critic videos fall under fair use due to him criticing it with brief excerpts of said media.

7:09 That's actually a Savannah Monitor and completely legal to own in most states. Ironically, Maine isn't one of them. For those curious, yes, you can put the larger types of monitors on leashes and walk them. Some crocadillians and tegus too. 7:07 That's a Monocled Cobra, a juvenile i think, based on the size. They're common in venomous reptile collections, since they're not as deadly as other types of Cobra and don't get as big. The REALLY stupid part is that you can see the tank it was in at 6:56. THAT IS NOT AT ALL EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO AN ACCEPTABLE CONTAINER FOR CARRYING A VENOMOUS REPTILE!! To transport dangerous reptiles, they need to either be in a tied snake bag within another sturdy-walled container, or be in a container within a larger container with secure lids. Either locked or taped shut. This is to minimize potential accidents, because all it takes is for the tip of a fang to get through an air hole where your finger's at. But no, that lady has a 10 gal glass terrarium that doesn't even look like it has a lid. That's not how you should transport ANY snake, venomous or no. Grab a heat pack, grab a pillowcase, put snake in pillowcase, put snake and heat pack in plastic box with a lid, poke holes in side of said box, and wrap masking tape around the middle if your especially paranoid or the snake's worth over $1000. Boom, done. Unless it's venomous, then put the snake back in it's regular enclosure and go call the exotic reptile vet you should already have in your contacts and scheduled a time for THEM to come to YOU like most smart danger noodle keepers do. Normal vets don't even treat reptiles, they require a specialist. And even then, most experienced keeps, aka the kind who would be keeping a cobra, tend to take care of their reptiles themselves unless it's an emergency. And that snake looks fine, it's not injured or sick or dying. I hate this scene so much for such stupid reasons.

Just a point of note; The "Mini series" of Tommy Knockers was only about 50% accurate. A huge chunk of it had applied "artistic interpretation" to the way the book was written and really is a far cry from the actual book. Director John Power, and Writer Lawrence D. Cohen, took what is in many ways one of Stephen kings more compelling novels, and turn it into an Abortion of silly mutation that really is an insult to the original novel which was so much better. At the end of the book, 75% of the town people died after the UFO left, and the antagonist "Roberta Anderson", gets murdered by the protagonist Jim Gardner, as they fight with one another over the ship, which he then takes control of, and in his last dying thoughts, he launches the ship (Which was more Saucer shaped in the book) into space, heading to "Altair 4", the planet where little David got teleported to. The Coke machines, in the book, only explode when someone does enough damage to them, to cause them to no longer function. In the book, all the coke machines are converted into a sort of flying sentry bot that patrols the town, crashing its massive size into any person they think are a threat to the towns people. While Smoke detectors are converted into scouting drones that fly through the air like mini flying saucers, and operate as a scouting system. When they detect an intruder, the go off with their high pitched screech, which alerts the Coke machines to the location of a threat. Deputy Becka Paulson, was having conversations with a picture of Jesus on her wall, that she would pray to every night; not the TV. Bobbi's dog was a 25lb Scottish Terrier, not a huge 300lb mutt. In the book a couple of the kids get sent to Derry on a battery run, and run into Penny wise, who winks at them and waves, and you find out in the book, that the Alien creature from the book "IT", was actually one of the survivors of the spaceship crash, who managed to launch itself at the last minute in an escape pod, which landed nearby in the town of Derry. Plus there are dozens more events, scenes and setting that happen in the book, that the movie completely overlooked, and all in all the movie is a joke, compared to the book which was far far far better. I would suggest, that you read the book and do a critique on that, and compare it against the shitty movie. Which sadly is the reality of Stephen Kings literal content, and how badly each story gets screwed up by "Artistic interpretation".

[@treid4629]

I finished the tommy knockers book recently and I read "IT" a few months ago. IT was created in the macro verse along with Matrin the turtle. He wasn't a tommy knocker. In my opinion both versions of the tommy knockers are pretty mediocre. The mini series cut out a lot of the boring digging scenes and unnecessary deaths. While the book had better characters and action scenes. At the end of the book I felt absolutely awful for jim gardner but in the mini series it was just kinda sudden. Although I do believe the book is better it's not better by much. IMO anyway

[@stoogefest16]

Michael LaRose isn’t it typically considered among Kings lesser works? I believe he’s dismissed it himself as a product of his drug addled state of mind at the time of writing.

@@Crinbo Agreed, Tommyknockers is far better than overrated King books like Needful Things. The villain is much more interesting in Tommyknockers

This was the first Stephen King movie I ever saw and it kinda defined my view of him henceforth. He likes to write about some form of possession or another.

[@livecoilarchive1458]

The book is better, naturally, but even it has some pacing issues and could've used some editing. The high points are actually really high in it, though. Definitely one of the more interesting King books I've read, highly recommended.

Why would they increase their mental ability if they just want the townsfolk to do physical labor and not use any of their creativity to...build a really good drill?Why not just turn them into genius bodybuilder instead of genius inventor!I mean,when you break it down,these things can increase people’s mental power,but also give them a fascination with something,so why not the fascination of hitting the gym?i think that’d be a pretty awesome comedy setup!! The whole town is suddenly obsessed with working out,and they have the wits and determination to do it! See how these townsfolk uses not only their body,but also science to increase their physical ability so they can dig for their new alien overlord!how will our alcoholic hero survive in a town filled with abs?find out in this new Stephen King written comedy,the tommy knockers!

[@enikata7349]

The big issue with this one is that the director and writer took the main plot, most of the characters and a lot of the back story and jammed it altogether so a lot of it doesn't make sense. The dolls Ruth has? they are in her house and she uses them to blow up the clock tower because she's being infected. The bimbo mail woman? She's actually not very attractive and isn't a main character. Gardener is slowly being infected but the plate slows down the process, the ship is a giant saucer and the towns people form some kind of collective consciousness where they are slowly becoming the aliens. some of them even start to turn into them. Derry is mentioned a lot and King speifically alludes to this book taking place a couple of years after the events ot It. The big issue is that King writes a lot of details and would be hours of content which is stripped, pruned, stuck together and made a mess. They can be fine if you can look over the details but otherwise it's pretty cringy.

[@laurenc5306]

I agree with this except for the mail woman part, she's stunning! :P
