In 2013, Schneider was involved in a lawsuit regarding Paranormal Activity 4. Filmmaker Michael Costanza sued Paramount Pictures, along with Schneider and his producing partner, for theft of intellectual property regarding a 2010 pitch meeting about the horror movie.[5] Following the success of the Paranormal Activity franchise, Schneider struggled with substance abuse.[6]
Schneider is working on new projects such as the period horror film Switchboard[7]
