Last week we told you that Strangeland 2: Disciple, the sequel to Dee Snider's Strangeland had been approved for a tax credit if they filmed in Ohio. Today we have casting info courtesy of screentest.biz, which I know, sounds like a scam, but c'mon, would Dee Snider attach his good name to a scam? Full details below.

If you head over to screentest.biz you can check out over 30 available roles.
But that's not even the best part. Robert Englund is listed in the synopsis for the role of Jackson Roth! Casting also calls for an infant and young Carleton Hendricks as well.

Here's the synopsis they've listed:

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. THEIR LIVES, DESTROYED BY EMOTIONAL TORMENT AND THE MEDIA FRENZY SURROUNDING THE CRIMES, DETECTIVE MIKE GAGE, HIS DAUGHTER GENEVIEVE AND VIGILANTE JACKSON ROTH (ROBERT ENGLUND) EACH HAVE THEIR CROSSES TO BEAR. BUT WHEN THE BADLY BURNED AND MENTALLY BROKEN CARLTON HENDRICKS IS TAKEN FROM A STATE RUN MENTAL HOSPITAL AND OFF HIS MEDICATION BY BILLIONAIRE, MEDIA MOGUL, MORGAN LAFORCE, LEADER OF A BODY MODIFICATION/FETISH HAVEN CALLED “THE TORTURE GARDEN”, THE DOOR SWINGS WIDE OPEN FOR EACH OF CAPTAIN HOWDY’S VICTIMS TO FIND CLOSURE...AND RETRIBUTION.

Producers are listed as Dee Snider and Larry Meistrich and the production start date as 5.21.2010. The title is simply posted as Strangeland: Disciple not Strangeland 2: Disciple. Is this really happening!?
