#HappyBirthday to Robert Barton Englund, the iconic, RADA-trained film, stage and television actor / director, born in California #OnThisDay in 1947. His 50-year screen career includes TV fame as benevolent alien Willie in NBC's #V (1983-85), numerous eccentrics and a succession of memorable deviants for Tobe Hooper, notably Buck in #EatenAlive (1976), sweatshop tyrant Gartley in #TheMangler (1995) and the MC in #DanceOfTheDead (Masters of Horror, 2005)...

#TheMangler isn’t just a laundry press, it also inexplicably crushes and folds up some of the workers and it’s happening more often. This machine is obviously possessed and the owner, Mr. Gartley seems to know but he’s no help. So some locals try to exorcise it. (That and a haunted fridge.) Which only makes it worse and brings it to life. They will find this entity has been around a while and is not necessarily unwanted. #horror #stephenking #robertenglund #tedlevine #film #laserdisc
