Snider later told our friends over at Bloody Disgusting that Halloween franchise producer Malek Akkad was developing My Enemy’s Enemy with him. So I think people are gonna be very disturbed, but they’re gonna enjoy it.” So it’s based on a true story, but then I just went with what I call the X factor and go into fantasy world. And ‘ My Enemy’s Enemy‘ is about, can we join each other, when we’re enemies, to fight a greater enemy? If you’ve just had horrible things done to you by people, but could you work with them to fight somebody who was even more horrible. But I said, ‘What if when this crime was happening, a Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees showed up - someone who was more evil.

And I took that story, and I said, ‘Well, what if…?’ And I’m being very general, ’cause I don’t wanna give away too much at this point. Each of the people convicted got 365 years in prison - each - for the crime. It’s considered the most horrible of crimes in the history of the area where I grew up. And there was a crime committed where I grew up on Long Island in 1982. People said to me, after ‘ Strangeland‘, why didn’t I do something else, and I said ’cause I didn’t have an idea I didn’t wanna just do something typical. … ‘ My Enemy’s Enemy‘ is powerfully disturbing. I’ve been hired to rewrite a cult classic from the ’80s that I may be directing as well.

I was supposed to be directing one right now, but the COVID thing shut down production - a new scary movie called ‘ My Enemy’s Enemy‘ that I wrote.

Speaking with Metal Casino Live back in 2020, he said (with thanks to Blabbermouth), Given the bad luck Strangeland 2 has had over the decades, it’s probably safe to assume that the movie Snider will be directing this year isn’t that one. When I get home I leave next day! Yes/Yikes! Wanna talk about a major distraction? My next scary movie (I wrote & I’m directing) is green lit & starts pre-production in 4 weeks! In between I’ve got 3 week pre-planned vacation (two years ago before covid, cancelled twice). While Strangeland was directed by John Pieplow (who hasn’t directed anything since), Snider will be directing this new film himself. Yesterday he took to Twitter to announce that one of his genre projects has been given a greenlight and will go into pre-production next month. While he still wants to make a Strangeland sequel someday, Snider has also been developing other projects recently. He had hopes of turning his Strangeland character Captain Howdy into the next big horror icon, but it just hasn’t worked out that way. In 1998, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider wrote and starred in the underrated horror film Strangeland… and for more than twenty years, he has been struggling to get a sequel to that film into production.
