Alice Cooper: The Nightmare (1975) **** (out of 4) If you're an Alice Cooper and horror fan then there's no way that you couldn't love this television special. This here was basically a promotional movie for Alice Cooper's first solo album 'Welcome to My Nightmare' and as an added bonus the rock star managed to get Vincent Price on board. If you're familiar with the album then you'll know the songs. The plot here is basically Cooper playing Steven, a young boy who finds himself in a nightmare where Price plays the Spirit.ALICE COOPER: THE NIGHTMARE is a great, great little movie on so many levels. For starters, the album itself is a terrific one with a number of great and menacing songs. Another major plus is that all of the "videos" are extremely well done and there's just a surreal nature to many of them that really makes this something great to watch during Halloween. Of course, one of the best thing about the special is the fact that you get to see Cooper and Price working together.If you're a fan of Cooper then you'll already know that he loves horror movies and loved Price. You can just see the joy in him getting to work with someone he admired and this really bleeds into the film and helps the entertainment value. Again, there are some truly great songs on the album including Welcome to My Nightmare, The Black Widow, the wonderful Only Women Bleed and the use of The Ballad of Dwight Frye from the 'Love it to Death' album.

This one is a kind of visualization for whole track list from the classic Alice Cooper's concept album "Welcome To My Nightmare". Made for the television, it;s quite cheap, but it also has Vincent Price as some kind of "Nightmare Master". Price gave his appearance also on the album with his talk introducing "Black Widow". Lots of fun, surreal decorations and Cooper's performances with songs from his greatest long play. Maybe it's not really musical movie with regular plot, but if you like when horror mixes with some good rock'n'roll music then this one should satisfy you. "Cold Ethyl", "Department of Youth", "Some Folks" and "Devil's Food" - I guess this titles are enough for good recommendation. A must see for every Alice Cooper's fan.

Alice Cooper is one of the greatest rockers of all time, and is probably the penultimate theatrical shock-rocker legend. I rented this in middle school and thought it was so kickass. It's always neat when somebody takes a handful of songs and makes a trippy horror movie out of them, as is the case here. Some of the songs showcased are among the best of Alice, but some of them were (even in my opinion) some of his lesser musical moments. At the same time, one of the great things about "Alice Cooper: The Nightmare" is how what becomes musically weak at times remains visually strong throughout. Vincent Price is one of the greatest actors associated with horror, so it would make sense to have him introduce Alice Cooper's classic horror rock, and it all amounts to a fun, freaky blast that I would highly recommend to all the weirdos out there... like me!

is a Classic Performance Video that features ONLY Alice Cooper and Vincent Price, it consists of conceptual videos acted on a stage and has a running time of 66 minutes. So it shouldn't be confused with "Welcome to my Nightmare"...which the IMDB is referring to here. The Nightmare is quite Rare but not impossible to find...and it is fantastic fun...14 songs each introduced by Vincent Price. Features great scenes of Cooper and Vincent Price interacting together...the two were made to work together!
