Alice Cooper’s ‘Welcome to My Nightmare Special Edition’ Coming to DVD
Alice Cooper's 1976 big-screen concert movie Welcome to My Nightmare is being released on DVD in a special edition that also includes the 1975 TV special Alice Cooper: The Nightmare.
This marks the first DVD appearance of the ABC TV show that featured performances of every song from Cooper's then-recently released Welcome to My Nightmare album, his first solo record after splitting from the Alice Cooper band. The set is due on Sept. 8.
The program starred Cooper, as Steven, and actor Vincent Price as the Spirit of the Nightmare. It repeats the story heard on the concept album, and includes the classic songs "Only Women Bleed," "Ballad of Dwight Fry" and the title track.
The following year, Welcome to My Nightmare hit theaters, and gave fans a front-row seat to Cooper's latest tour, which combined theatrics, horror props (spiders, skeletons and a cyclops) and plenty of songs from his career – including "No More Mr. Nice Guy," "I'm Eighteen" and "School's Out."
You can see the track listings for both Welcome to My Nightmare and Alice Cooper: The Nightmare below.
