Welcome to My Nightmare is an concept album by Alice Cooper, released in 1975. This was Alice Cooper's first solo album (all previous Alice Cooper releases were band efforts). The cover artwork was created by Drew Struzan. Rolling Stone Magazine would later vote it as one of the Top 100 Album Covers Of All Time.[citation needed]

Welcome to My Nightmare is a concept album. The songs, heard in sequence, form a journey through the nightmares of a man named Steven.

A Halloween favorite[citation needed] and a renowned rock album,[citation needed] Welcome to My Nightmare inspired the Alice Cooper: The Nightmare TV special and a worldwide concert tour in 1975, and the Welcome To My Nightmare concert film in 1976.
