Vincent Price and the Black Widow

The music video below features Vincent Price and Alice Cooper, performing “The Black Widow” from Cooper’s classic album Welcome to My Nightmare. The performance is from a TV Special called “Alice Cooper — The Nightmare” that aired on 25 April 1975 and later released to home video — Alice looking much less scary than he does these days. Vincent Price’s introductory monologue is an extended version of that on the album (one of my all-time favourites), but notice the authority with which he delivers every syllable. What a voice!


Worthy of note is the fact that the TV Special (produced by David Winter) was nominated for a Grammy but lost out to Duran Duran.
