![]() ![]() Instead the hero’s daughter is kidnapped (again) and he has to go rescue her (again). Nightmare on Elm St now? Nope - after attacking one (not killing him), this subplot is forgotten. “OK, now it’s a Clockwork Orange type deal!” Wrong again, they kill him and then he comes back to life (somehow) and goes after the parents. But the parents of those he abused/killed catch up to him. But no, he is just as quickly set free, and seemingly normal (this is the only part of the film I liked, partly due to the creepy sight of Snider made to look meek). He then goes to an institution, so I thought we’d get a hospital set movie a serial killer version of Cuckoo’s Nest. But no, he arrests him and Captain Howdy is put on trial. I thought we would then get a movie where the killer traps the hero and the hero has to find a way out and save his daughter and the other folks who are chained up around him. Seemingly made up as it went along, it is constantly switching gears that will often do little more than remind you of better horror movies.įor example, our hero, seeking his kidnapped daughter, finds the killer (Snider) about 40 minutes into the movie. And he inspired Adam Green to make Hatchet(cool story, look it up), so props to him for that. Not that I was ever the biggest Twisted Sister fan, but I enjoy what I’ve heard and enjoy Dee’s theatrics whenever I see him at a Fangoria show or whatever. It’s no worse than at least half of the nonsense I have watched, but most movies this bad aren’t the creation of a guy I like. And now that I have seen it, I wish I had kept my self-imposed moratorium going. Additional details on the production and distribution of THE HOWLING will be released as the film moves through the pre-production process.I’ve managed to go over a decade without watching Dee Snider’s Strangeland, a film I have never once heard anything positive about. They plans to produce THE HOWLING as the first in a series of films based upon well known film properties. Music will be important to me again for this film.” The project has the working title STRANGELAND: DISCIPLE and is the second film production announced by the company based on a well established horror property.Įmaji Entertainment also acquired the rights to reboot Joe Dante’s THE HOWLING, the 1981 horror classic that to date has seen eight films released that have been based in part of the three novels written by Gary Brander. “We really tried to create the ultimate heavy soundtrack. “Music was intrinsic to me in the first one,” said Snider. Emaji Entertainment will accompany the singer-songwriter, screenwriter, radio personality and actor back into the dark underground world of ritualistic body modification where victims are lured via an ever pervasive world of social media. ![]() Dee Snider’s 1998 horror film STRANGELAND is getting a RemakeĪnother movie we can add to the ever growing list of remakes is none other than Dee Snider’s 1998 horror film STRANGELAND, which was written by and starred Snider, the frontman of heavy metal giant Twisted Sister.ĭee Snider’s portrayal of Carlton Hendricks aka Captain Howdy in the original film created a character that has become a cult horror legend. ![]()
