The original premise: "One year after Carleton Hendricks aka Captain Howdy's (Dee Snider) sadistic rampage, much more than the physical scars the schizophrenic, sexual sadist gave his victims are left behind. Music will be important to me again for this film."(5/5/15) We really tried to create the ultimate heavy soundtrack.

Several years after it was reportedly "dead in the water", it appears that the film has finally found a studio to back the project. Maybe this coming year, heading toward the 20th anniversary, what sounds like the right amount of time between funding it, filming it and releasing it, I will see if the audience wants to put their money where their mouth is and join me in this journey!"
