Read more about Eddie Quist at: Wikipedia Official Site: Sony Pictures Edward 'Eddie' Quist, also known as Eddie the Mangler is a character in the 1981 horror film The Howling. He is portrayed by Robert Picardo. Eddie Quist suffers from lycanthropy, as do his two younger siblings Marsha and T.C. At one point in their life, the Quists had been found by therapist (and fellow werewolf) Dr. George Waggner. Waggner was a reformist, believing that the old habits of preying on humans was a practice that could not fit in the modern world. He set up a secluded resort in the Tehachapi Mountains known as "The Colony", where other lycanthropes could retreat from the outside world and learn to channel and control their energies and violent impulses. The therapy proves to be problematic for the Quist siblings, particularly Eddie, who is more than comfortable with the "old ways". Eddie leaves the Colony and moves to Los Angeles, California, where he uses his powers to rape and butcher women, earning him the nickname of "The Mangler". He soon begins to stalk television news anchor Karen White, which the LAPD exploits to their advantage. Having set an appointment in a porno theatre, Eddie forces Karen to watch a snuff film while hiding behind her in the shadows and transforming. Karen turns around and screams, prompting immediate action from the police who shoot Eddie as he is about to assault Karen. A seemingly fatal bullet wound to the head incapacitates him, but he is actually in a dormant state as his body regenerates the injury. A few days later, Eddie escapes from the morgue and tracks Karen down. There, he brutally murders Karen's friend Terri Fisher while tape recording her screams after she discovers the truth. Later, he confronts Karen, angrily tearing out the bullet still lodged in his skull and graphically transforming in front of her. Before he can attack, however, Karen throws acid in his face and escapes. The now disfigured Eddie is met by Terri's boyfriend Chris Dugan armed with a gun which, unbeknown to him, is loaded with silver bullet. Eddie taunts Chris and begins to shapeshift. Chris fires his gun at Eddie's throat, killing him.
