In Cornish folklore, Knockers or Tommyknockers are gnome-like creatures who are supposed to be friends with the miners.
According to folklore, Tommyknockers like to trick the miners by extinguishing candles and stealing their lunches. But that is all done in a friendly manner. Of course, they never thought to return delicious treats.
The Tommyknockers would knock on the walls of mines, sometimes leading miners to tin or sometimes, warning them of a collapse.
It was once believed that the Tommyknockers were spirits of the miners who perished and now roam about to warn the miners should they too suffer the same fate.
Over time, the Tommyknockers were thought of as evil creatures who liked to attack the miners.
Most famously, the Tommyknockers was featured in Stephen King’s novel THE TOMMYKNOCKERS, except they were aliens in that.
Now we get to see the Tommyknockers on screen.
Produced by Mahal Empire, NIGHT OF THE TOMMYKNOCKERS will be released soon.
When the sun goes down, they come out.
