Based on Stephen King's short story of the same name (which is featured in his epic Night Shift collection), Tobe Hooper's The Mangler is coming to Blu-ray on December 11th from Scream Factory. Bonus features will include a new interview with actor Robert Englund, and Scream Factory is also attempting to get the unrated cut of the film for this home media release:
From Scream Factory: "Horror legends Tobe Hooper, Robert Englund and Stephen King teamed up for 1995’s bone-crunching tale of THE MANGLER—which is coming to Blu-ray for the first time from us on December 11th!
Based on King’s short story, this white-knuckle chiller follows a cop (Ted Levine) as he investigates a series of grisly accidents … and uncovers a deadly town secret that has been hidden for years – a terrifying entity that threatens to destroy everything in its path. With time running out and a young girl's life in the balance, he races to destroy the beast before it's too late!
Extras are in progress and will be announced on a later date but we can confirm today that we have a new interview with Englund! We are also aware of the unrated cut of the film and are trying our best to secure a version of it for our release. Additionally, cover will be reversible and will feature the “sharp red” title treatment art that was commonly seen on VHS back in the day.
Pre-order THE MANGLER now @https://www.shoutfactory.com/product/the-mangler?product_id=6925 to receive early shipping ahead of national release date!"
