DEE SNIDER’S STRANGELAND-1998-Ok, I know Rob Zombie has made a few movies and will probably make a few more but this is really not a good excuse to let the former lead singer of Twisted Sister write and star in a horror movie of his own.
Dee Snider plays “Captain Howdy” a chat serial killer who lures unsuspecting victims to his house and then tortures and murders them while spouting philosophical nonsense. A cop (Kevin Gage) whose daughter is abducted twice captures Howdy but he escapes any real punishment by pleading insanity and is “rehabilitated”. Some vigilantes (led by Robert Englund) hang him but instead of dying he reverts to his old self and seeks revenge.
Hopefully this will be Snider’s last foray into celluloid (unless he does a video commemorating Twisted Sister’s 50th anniversary…)
Thanks for reading!

Yep, this was... not entertaining or good in any way. Snider was actually planning a sequel to this at one point but I think it fell through. I'm not a big fan of Rob Zombie's stuff either. Zombo, and apparently Dee as well, seem to think grubby + unpleasant = horror. Urgh.
I agree. Glad Snider's plans fell through...
