It’s time for another dive into obscure horror franchises with Des and Tom! This time out, we looked at The Mangler Trilogy!You remember The Mangler, don’t you? That weird-ass Tobe Hooper adaptation of an early Stephen King story that arguably should not have been adapted? Ted Levine as a Maine police detective with a Texas twang? Well, there were two sequels, and we cover them...and discover that each film is a microcosm of the state of horror at the time they were made. Plus Lance Henrickson not giving a fuck, Reggie Bannister being totally oblivious to the nastiest stairwell ever and, for fans of our review of Verotika a few weeks back, a really bad ‘French’ accent!
The trailers are below, as are a list of the best ‘worst’ Stephen King films, and music from Billy Idol (in a video directed by Hooper) and White Skull!
