Setting
"The Mangler" is set in an American town, and the action largely takes place in an industrial laundromat. Stephen King has stated that, among the many jobs he took to support his family before he became famous, he worked in an industrial laundromat.
Plot summary
A police detective investigating a sudden rash of grisly deaths caused by an industrial laundry press machine discovers that, through a series of unfortunate coincidences, the machine has become possessed by a demon. The story ends after the detective and his friend underestimate the demon's power; and in seeking to exorcise the machine, they instead goad it into ripping free of its moorings and prowling the streets in search of fresh prey.
Film, TV or theatrical adaptations
This story was adapted for the screenplay of a 1995 film (directed by Tobe Hooper) of the same title, though the brevity of the source material required significant additions not present in the original tale. The film was followed by two sequels, The Mangler 2 and The Mangler Reborn.
