KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park

KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978) — watch online on iFILM — is the TV movie where rock band KISS play themselves against a theme park supervillain. Director Gordon Hessler placed Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss inside a story about mad scientist Abner Devereaux, who has built a human-cloning lab under the fairground rides and plans to unleash his robot army during a KISS concert.

The band fights back with comic-book superpowers. Devereaux monologues at length. No one is in on the joke. That total commitment to a completely absurd premise is exactly what makes this 1978 oddity worth a watch. Stream it on iFILM.
