29 - The Tommyknockers (1993)

Shoot a pickle? THE TOMMYKNOCKERS was originally aired in 1993 as a two-part miniseries, but we're swilling it all down at once like a fine gin and tonic (hold the tonic). Both parts were adapted by Stephen King himself from the novel of same name, and it shows in the signature broad comedic beats throughout--including one of the best pratfalls ever put on film. It's a weird one, though. Traci Lords plays the villain and seduces a cop named Jingles, but not before a police officer is murdered by the hundreds of dolls she keeps on display at the station.
