Alice Cooper Talks Horror and Comedy and Tim Burton Role

While rumors swirled last summer of the pairing, the L.A. Times' Hero Complex has confirmed that Cooper, indeed, is slated for a cameo in the film. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will present his chart-topping song, "No More Mr. Nice Guy." Cooper says he finds Burton a kindred spirit. "Rock and horror and comedy work together, that's something I've known a long time and people like Rob Zombie know, and Burton knows that too," he told Hero Complex. "Sometimes the comedy is disguised a little bit, it's dark, but it is there. You can't do horror and rock with a punchline in a way. There's the absurd stuff and there's just that delivery of the 'Oh!' moment that is like a punchline.
