Congratulations to Alice Cooper, the 2011 King Of Halloween! Here are some facts about the pioneer of Shock Rock!

- Alice Cooper's real name is Vincent Damon Furnier and he was born on February 4, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan.

- He has been part of the music industry since 1964. His stage show features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors and baby dolls. Cooper is also a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a restaurateur and, since 2004, a popular radio DJ with his classic rock show "Nights with Alice Cooper".

- Cooper's recipe of disaster is drawn from horror movies, vaudeville and garage Rock! He is actually credited for helping to shape the look of Heavy Metal and as being the artist who "first introduced horror imagery to Rock N' Roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the genre".

- Arguably, the pioneer of a grandly theatrical and violent brand of Heavy Metal designed to shock.

- The Rolling Stone Album Guide called him the world's most "beloved Heavy Metal entertainer".

- This year (2011), the original Alice Cooper band was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
