Semi-OT: Alice Cooper '74
« on: April 26, 2012, 02:23:39 PM »
Fans, I just stumbled across this fun (albeit somewhat grainy and fuzzy) clip of Alice Cooper playing a Witch in a Halloween skeleton costume and singing a song whose title seems to be "I eat my things" ... it looks very prophetic, not only of his performance 40 years later in DS, but of some of Tim Burton's visual obsessions:

The clip is from a very short lived series, The Snoop Sisters, and dates to March of 1974.  The older actress in the scene is Miss Helen Hayes.

Enjoy!

Amazing! I remember watching this episode of the NBC Mystery Movie in 1974!  The song is Sick Things from Billion Dollar Babies.

Thanks.  I'm not an Alice Cooper fan, but I thought he was very amusing here. And I remember enjoying his appearance with Vincent Price in some Halloween special around the same time.

I wish they had gotten people who knew what they were doing to write this fluff.  A warlock is just another word for a male Witch.

I wore that album out...Alice(Vincent Furnier) was a great front man, but his band was quite good too. Alice cooper was the name of the band, but vincent got so much attention, he just became alice. he wanted a good wholesome name for the band, for all his shenanigans. and great video. thanks.

I was never much of an Alice Cooper fan. I can't explain why. I love some of his songs. He's certainly not too outrageous for me; I'm a diehard KISS and DOORS fan. It's too bad the movie's set to early for KISS. If asked, Gene probably would have killed the deal by asking for too much money. Oh well...
