Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper pioneered the concept of the theatrical rock concert. His recording career spans six decades, includes more than two dozen albums, millions of record sales, countless world tours and appearances in scores of movies and videos, including “Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy’s Dead,” Universal Pictures’ “Prince of Darkness” and a memorable appearance in the recent “Dark Shadows.” Last fall, Alice Cooper released his acclaimed “Welcome 2 My Nightmare,” his long-awaited sequel to his 1975 classic “Welcome to My Nightmare,” which debuted at No. 22 on the Billboard 200.
Sharing his enthusiasm, Alice Cooper said, “I grew up watching classic Universal horror movies so it’s a thrill for me to work with Universal’s designers to create the quintessential Alice Cooper maze for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort. To have Alice Cooper haunted attractions at both parks this year is truly an honor…or is it a horror? Last year, Universal Studios Hollywood scared the wits out of me with their maniacal and demented creation and they’ve promised to up the ante with ‘Alice Cooper Goes To Hell 3D.’ I can’t wait to see the final terrifying masterpiece. It will be hell. I’m even more excited to see Universal Orlando Resort’s maze, ‘Alice Cooper – Welcome To My Nightmare. Let’s see if they can scare me!”
“There are few as coolly demented as Alice Cooper,” said Jim Timon, Senior Vice President of Entertainment at Universal Orlando Resort. “He’s a cult classic icon and his partnership on the ‘Alice Cooper – Welcome to My Nightmare’ maze will bring something completely new and unexpected to our Halloween Horror Nights fans.”
John Murdy, Creative Director at Universal Studios Hollywood, said, “We wanted to break new ground with the insanely immersive ‘Alice Cooper Goes to Hell 3D’ maze and elevate its journey into the abyss to a shocking new level. The cutting-edge 3D technology we invented for this haunted attraction will add a palatable sense of realism to an already twisted environment that only music genius Alice Cooper could envision. Through innovative sets and LED technology, we’ve totally pushed the envelope to turn Alice’s maze into a mind-blowing 3D experience for his fans and Halloween Horror Nights guests.”

The amount of green vomit spewed in our exclusive new trailer from writer/director Joey Bicicchi‘s feature debut might make you Woozy.
The new horror movie will be available virtually nationwide during the Popcorn Frights Film Festival, starting August 7, with festival passes and tickets available now.
Emile Hirsch (The Autopsy of Jane Doe) stars as Dusty, a man who has meticulously engineered his existence into something pristine and untouchable—meditation at dawn, disciplined yoga, punishing boxing routines, strict nutrition, obsessive hygiene. Every detail is calculated. Every impulse contained. Every fear locked out. Until it isn’t.
When Dusty’s carefully constructed system finally fractures, something impossible slips in—Woozy. A horrifying apparition that shouldn’t exist… and yet absolutely does. What begins as control collapses into spectacular chaos as Dusty is forced into a brutal confrontation with the delusions he thought he had mastered. WOOZY becomes a visceral battle between discipline and disorder, sanity and surrender, structure and the terrifying unknown that lives just beneath the surface.
The trailer below teases a psychological descent into a mind’s darkest corners.
Jackie Cruz, Penelope Mitchell, and Jeff Adler also star.
“Everyone involved with Woozy and I are so stoked to be part of a top-tier festival like Popcorn Frights. We can’t wait to share this film with one of the best horror audiences in the world. Buckle up for a choose-your-own-adventure through trauma, horror, vomit, mimes, cats, demons, and, yeah… sometimes it’s okay to laugh at just how bonkers this journey gets. Emile Hirsch fans, you don’t want to miss this performance. He absolutely delivers. And remember… Some monsters don’t hide under the bed. They live in your head,” Bicicchi said.
