Obsession leads to murder in The Mangler Reborn, a nefarious tale about a man and his machine. The second terrifying sequel to Stephen King's original yarn focuses on washing machine repairman, Hadley Watson, and his affinity for restoring vintage antiques. As he unknowingly purchases parts from the first Mangler machine, Hadley grows an unhealthy obsession with his latest contraption, an industrial apparatus boasting mechanical arms with blades, and a mouth, sporting rotating saw-like teeth. As he accidentally cuts himself on one of the machine's gears, it roars to life... literally. Without hesitation, the machine brutally devours Hadley, and regurgitates him to be used as a vessel to feed the mechanical beast. After making his transformation, Hadley sets out to collect as many victims as he can in order to feed his machine so that he himself won't rot and decay.
