== Summary ==
A pierced and tattooed sadist, Captain Howdy (Dee Snider), trolls the Internet for naive teens, luring them to his home to torture and defile them. When Howdy kidnaps and tortures the daughter of police Detective Mike Gage (Kevin Gage), he is caught. Deemed insane, he is sent to an asylum but is released soon after, seemingly better. However, Gage knows it is only a matter of time before Howdy strikes again, and he's ready to unleash his own form of retribution when the time comes.

A sequel, titled Strangeland: Disciple, is being produced by Emaji Entertainment and TSG Entertainment and distributed by Lionsgate, as of May 2015. Dee Snider plans to have it rated NC-17, and later release an R-rated version for wider exposure. He believes this unusual marketing strategy will create buzz for the "original" NC-17 version.[3] As of 2021, any and all plans for a sequel have been scrapped.
== Comic ==
Dee Snider released a comic book prequel, Dee Snider's Strangeland: Seven Sins through Fangoria Comics, but the company suddenly closed after only the first issue was printed. The Scream Factory then picked up the title and published the full run in 2008.
