Well it kind of had to happen, didn’t it? Mr Horror Show himself, Alice Cooper, is set to open a theme park attraction at Universal Studios in Hollywood which will naturally open just before Halloween. Cooper says of the maze, naturally entitled Alice Cooper: Welcome To My Nightmare: “We’ll be creating this living horror movie within screaming distance of the sound stages where horror movies first began, so there’s no place more appropriate to offer a preview of the new ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare,'” Cooper continued “This will be a nightmare that will haunt visitors’ dreams for a long time to come.”
Somewhat predictably, the maze is set to include electric chairs, a giant snake, simulated guillotine decapitations and an insane asylum.  Cooper’s maze is part of a wider Halloween Horror Nights Event at the theme park which will open on 23rd of September as he arrives in Australia to play the Soundwave Revolution Festival, and open on selected nights until the grand finale on October 31st. Fans at the Soundwave Revolution Festival can expect to see similar depictions of executions, snakes and fake blood in his legendary stage show.
