4/5 ·
Warthur
Offering a pulsing, synth-heavy take on his mid-1980s glam-tinged sound, Alice Cooper's contribution to the soundtrack for Friday the 13th Part VI is a cheesy as hell tribute to the series and to slasher films in general, as well as being one of the catchiest damn things Cooper would put out in the period. Constrictor, the album it comes from, otherwise isn't up to that much, but this one song suggested that Cooper was finally able to recapture a bit of the swagger that had eluded him since his stumbles of the early 1980s, and prefigured his later career revival driven by the Trash album.
