The Mangler 2 (VHS, 2001) is a direct-to-video horror sequel that drags Stephen King’s original concept into the digital age. Instead of a possessed laundry press, this installment centers on a high-tech prep school where a malicious computer virus takes over the building’s security system, turning everyday technology into deadly traps. Starring Lance Henriksen, the film taps into early-2000s fears of the internet, hacking, and out-of-control artificial intelligence, giving it a very specific Y2K-era vibe.
A much more obscure release than the 1995 Robert Englund original, The Mangler 2 was issued during the final years of VHS as a format, making surviving copies a fun curiosity for fans of late franchise horror. The movie has built a minor cult reputation among collectors who appreciate cheesy direct-to-video sequels, bargain-bin scares, and the transitional period between analog and digital horror filmmaking.
