Emaji, Inc. has announced that its entertainment division, Emaji Entertainment, has acquired the rights to reboot Dee Snider‘s “Strangeland“, the 1998 horror film written by and starring Snider, the frontman of heavy metal giant TWISTED SISTER.

Dee Snider‘s portrayal of Carlton Hendricks (a.k.a. Captain Howdy) in the original film created a character that has become a cult horror legend. 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.

The 1998 soundtrack included an incredible array of bands — SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SEVENDUST, SOULFLY, SLIPKNOT, KID ROCK, COAL CHAMBER, TWISTED SISTER, MEGADETH, MARILYN MANSON and PANTERA — handpicked by Snider.

“Music was intrinsic to me in the first one,” said Snider. “We really tried to create the ultimate heavy soundtrack. Music will be important to me again for this film.”
