In the 1990s, Snider formed '''[[Widowmaker (American band)|Widowmaker]]''' with guitarist [[Al Pitrelli]], bassist Marc Russel, and former Twisted Sister drummer [[Joey Franco]]. The quartet recorded two albums with limited underground success, titled ''[[Blood and Bullets (album)|Blood and Bullets]]'' and ''[[Stand By for Pain]]''. In the late 1990s, Snider toured with a "self-tribute" band called '''Dee Snider's SMFs''' (Sick Mutha Fuckers), sometimes featuring ex-Twisted Sister drummer [[A.J. Pero]]. The usual lineup included Snider, Derek Tailer, Charlie Mills, [[Keith Alexander (guitarist)|Keith Alexander]], and Spike.<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.last.fm/music/Dee+Snider/+wiki|title=Dee Snider age, hometown, biography|website=Last.fm}}</ref>

In 1993, Snider composed the theme song for ''[[The Terrible Thunderlizards]]''. By 1994, Snider had, by his own admission: "...lost every penny I made. I was riding a bicycle to a desk job for $200 a week answering phones in an office." ({{Inflation|US|200|1994|fmt=eq}})<ref name="rollingstone-pmrc"/>

In 1997, Snider began hosting ''The House of Hair'', a syndicated 1980s hard rock/heavy metal radio show on more than 200 radio stations across North America. It is syndicated by the [[United Stations Radio Networks]]. The show's format runs two or three hours depending on which version of the show a radio station carries and features Snider's closing catchphrase: "If it ain't metal, it's crap!"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.houseofhaironline.com/|title=The House of Hair with Dee Snider|website=House of Hair with Dee Snider}}</ref>

In 1998, Snider penned a song entitled "The Magic of Christmas Day (God Bless Us Everyone)", which [[Celine Dion]] recorded for her album ''[[These Are Special Times]]''. According to Snider, Dion at the time was not aware of who wrote the song. Later that year, he also wrote and starred in the [[horror film]] ''[[Strangeland (film)|Strangeland]]''. Snider also penned{{when|date=December 2022}} the script to a sequel with the working title of ''Strangeland: Disciple''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/exclusives/3675410/strangeland-disciple-dee-snider-updates-planned-return-captain-howdy-phantom-limbs/|title='Strangeland: Disciple' – Dee Snider Updates on the Planned Return of Captain Howdy [Phantom Limbs]|first=Jason|last=Jenkins|date=July 23, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wickedhorror.com/horror-news/dee-snider-says-now-time-strangeland-2/|title=Dee Snider Says 'Now is the Time' for Strangeland 2!|date=February 28, 2017}}</ref>

As of January 2008, however, Snider was less than optimistic that ''Disciple'' would ever see the light of day, saying in an interview with Bullz-Eye.com that he had reached a point where he should: "...put a sign on my website that says, 'Y'got ten million dollars? Give me a call. I've got the script ready to go. [[Robert Englund]]'s attached, I'm attached. If somebody's serious and wants to make it, call me. But don't call me 'til you're ready to hand the check over.{{'"}}<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bullz-eye.com/music/interviews/2008/dee_snider.htm|title=A Chat with Dee Snider, Dee Snider interview, Twisted Sister, "Gone Country"|website=www.bullz-eye.com}}</ref>

In May 2009, Snider revealed on his radio show "The House of Hair" that ''Strangeland: Rising Sons'' would go ahead and was set to begin shooting in the fall of 2009 and would be slated for a 2010 release.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://www.jango.com/music/Dee+Snider/_full_bio|title=Dee Snider|website=Jango Radio}}</ref>
