Alice delivers "Keepin' Halloween Alive" with the garage-punk snarl he is best known for, ensuring that it will soon be a Halloween classic. "At home my family all gathers around an old spooky tree decorated with skulls and bones in the living room, and we exchange gifts," says Cooper. "It's our holiday. We even all have matching black-and-orange Halloween sweaters! I wanted a theme song for people like me, and for us Halloween never ends. In the chorus I say, 'I'm keepin' Halloween alive, baby, 3�6�5'... and I mean it!"

"Keepin' Halloween Alive," was co-written and co-produced by Cooper with Piggy D. (a member of Rob Zombie's band), who played rhythm guitar/backup vocals. Dave Pino (Powerman 5000) is featured on lead guitar, and David Spreng (Bob Dylan, The Bravery) on drums. Of the recording, Cooper says, "We played it live as a band to capture the vibe. It was the easiest work I think any of us have ever done, not to mention a blast!"
