In the late 1980s, Steckler opened Mascot Video in Las Vegas and sold it in 1995 to local businessman Dan Wayman. Up until his death in 2009, Steckler continued to sell videos of his works via the web, including six volumes of young actresses and dancers in nude auditions for Steckler's camera. Steckler says these auditions were shot in 1991 for "The Hollywood Strangler in Las Vegas" (a.k.a. "Las Vegas Serial Killer"), but that film was finished by 1987. In 2008, Steckler announced production of his new film "One More Time", which he described as an "extension" (as opposed to a "sequel") to "The Incredibly Strange Creatures", and launched two MySpace pages and a website for casting actresses for his upcoming films. Steckler completed post-production of "One More Time" shortly before his death. It was filmed on location on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Las Vegas on a budget of $3,800 using two Digital 8 cameras. The film was released direct-to-DVD via his website in 2009. Shortly after returning to Las Vegas, Steckler, who had been fighting heart disease for several years, died of cardiac arrest on January 7, 2009, aged 70. He was buried at the Palm Mortuary and Cemetery Green Valley.
