beacuse this seems like one he did do a short story about a killer press machine called (THE MANGLER) so it would be the kind of thing stephen did at the beginning of his career so please tell me did king do a short story based on this?

Hm, I don't think it is. It's the American remake of a Dutch movie "De Lift" (in English: "The Elevator") wich was a big succes in the eighties in Holland. And actually a better version than this one!
