Never seen The Mangler.  Does at accurately portray the scene in Stephen King's short story where a character gets his arm caught in the machine and his bicep swells up and explodes like a water balloon?  Cuz that remains one of my favorite "this is impossible, but god-DAMN" moments in King's oeuvre.
