It is not until he finds Tiana in the trunk of her own car and submerged at the bottom of the lake that he really starts to worry. When neither of them return home, Genevieve’s mom, Toni (Elizabeth Pena) is worried, but Homicide detective dad Mike Gage (Kevin Gage) is too involved in his current police case to give the matter much thought. They meet Captain Howdy, a cool guy who likes keggers and snowboarding, and after a minute long correspondence, decide to go to a party at the Captain’s house. The ultimate internet safety video, Strangeland starts off with Genevieve Gage (Cardellini) and her friend Tiana (Amal Rhoe) chatting online with random strangers. He also incorporated his love for music by compiling an awesome soundtrack, on top of the score by Anton Sanko ( The Possession 2012) with songs from such as Anthrax, Sevendust, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson and Eminem, which does wonders to setting the mood in Captain Howdy’s lair. Not only did the original Freddy Krueger take part in this film, but Snider also incorporated the famous line, “What a rush!” from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warrior (1987) and made reference to the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise itself with the line, “First you dream, then you die.” There is even a plug for The Exorcist’s (1973) Captain Howdy, which was the name of the spirit Reagan talked to through the Ouija board. Snider obviously has a love for horror films based on the nods he gives to some of the classics in Strangeland. Starring Kevin Gage ( May 2002), Linda Cardellini ( Freaks & Geeks series), Elizabeth Pena ( Jacobs Ladder 1990) and Robert Englund ( A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984), Strangeland brought in just over $370,000 in its first weekend and rates 63% positive audience score at Rotten Tomatoes. Written and starring Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider and directed by John Pieplow, Strangerland‘s script is based loosely on the Twisted Sister song “Horror-teria” from 1984’s Stay Hungry album.
