His characterizations are also dead-on: Steven is a convincing early teen, and the Master of Ceremonies looks just like Alice Cooper. Zulli's black-and-white art uses cross-hatching and shadows to create a suitably creepy atmosphere. Moreover, Gaiman writes Cooper's Master of Ceremonies as a whimsically demented horror show host made of equal parts Torquemada and Willy Wonka. But the story borrows some strong horror tropes-mashing Nightmare on Elm Street together with Something Wicked This Way Comes. This is not Gaiman's most sophisticated work, as he admits in his introduction. It centers on a boy named Steven (also the name of the protagonist in Cooper's earlier work, Welcome to My Nightmare ), and a mysterious showman. Soon, he's seeing the creepy master of ceremonies everywhere. The Last Temptation is the thirteenth solo studio album by American rock singer Alice Cooper, released on July 12, 1994, by Epic Records. When he and his friends stumble onto the back-alley Theatre of the Real ("The Grandest Guignol"), it looks like the Master of Ceremonies (who bears an uncanny resemblance to Cooper) may have a way to save him from those fears-permanently. Halloween is coming, and young teenager Steven is scared-scared of girls, scared of his friends and scared of growing up. It adapts a story from Cooper's album Lost in America, to which Gaiman contributed story and lyrics. Gaiman meets rock star Alice Cooper in this Halloween tale that originally appeared in the early 1990s.
