Synopsis:

Super Duper Alice Cooper is the twisted tale of a teenage Dr Jekyll whose rock n roll Mr Hyde almost kills him. It is the story of Vincent Furnier, preacher's son, who struck fear into the hearts of parents as Alice Cooper, the ultimate rock star of the bizarre. From the advent of Alice as front man for a group of Phoenix freaks in the 60s to the hazy decadence of celebrity in the 70s to his triumphant comeback as 80s glam metal godfather, we will watch as Alice and Vincent battle for each others' souls. The is the first ever 'doc opera' - a dizzying blend of documentary archive footage, animation and rock opera that will cement forever the legend of Alice Cooper.

From preacher's son to glam metal godfather, Vincent Furnier's transformation to Alice Cooper is rock legend history. Animated photos and interviews describe his early days in Los Angeles with The Spiders (dubbed the 'worst band in L.A.' by critics) and his later discovery by Frank Zappa, which led-thanks to drug-induced assistance from a Ouija board-to the creation of Alice Cooper. Directors Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen-the team behind Metal: A Headbanger's Journey and Global Metal-and Reginald Harkema depict the life of this Jekyll and Hyde music icon from Cooper's perspective, using a decadent stew of documentary archive materials and rock opera. Rock music has no shortage of dramatic biographies, but backstage access to the battle between Furnier's super-ego and Cooper's id makes this a seminal film for any fan-or anyone who wants to hear the true story behind Cooper's 1969 Toronto encounter with an ill-fated chicken.
