The Movie Network and Movie Central original documentary SUPER DUPER ALICE COOPER is the twisted tale of a teenage Dr. Jekyll whose rock-n-roll Mr. Hyde almost kills him.

An official selection of the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, the film is a dizzying blend of documentary archive footage, animation, and rock opera.
