Talk:Mole People

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is use of ""surface dwellers."" (quotation marks are used in text), is this phrase used in Deus Ex? If not (I am fairly sure it is not) the quotation marks should be removed.

I have expanded this stub somewhat but it would be good if someone who has access to relevant literature/has studied this subject could expand it some.

I seem to remember a romantic drama series filmed in the 80s called Beauty And The Beast (or similar) which featured some sort of subterranean society similar to some of the bolder claims from the urban legends about mole people. Some additional literary references (eg: HG Wells' The Time Machine may also be appropriate.--ChrisJMoor 15:11, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)


..."It has also been suggested that these have developed their own cultural traits and even have electricity by illegal hook-up" -- The documentary Dark Days concretely establishes that at least one illegal electrical system actually existed, so it's probably safe to strengthen the language on that point. --anon 17:22, 24 Jan 2006

This may or may not be the right place but somewhere info on abandoned subway lines and tunnels in NYC should be added.

The section regarding the movie Daylight is incorrect. The movie clearly mentions that the chapel was part of living quarters for the construction workers who made the tunnel. --Jeff

[edit] Disambuigation page?

It's my feeling that the whole "Mole People" thing needs disambuigating. Some of the links mentioned are clearly related to the urban legend, but others are only related by virtue of being about 'people living underground'. Particularily the 1956 movie has very little to do with the idea of subterranian New Yorkers. Banality 04:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, break it up. You can't tell fact from fiction here.--futurebird 12:43, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mole people as monsters possible intro?

Fear of the homeless has caused some writers and filmmakers to create monsters based on the idea of mole people. These films, TV shows and comic books have been criticised for dehumanizing the homeless people who have sought shelter undergorund.futurebird 22:26, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dark Days

Why isn't Dark Days listed in the body of the article? It's a lot more significant than, say, a reference in an episode of Futurama. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.120.38 (talk) 02:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
