Digipak. German version with dubbed German sound and no subtitles

Kiss von phantomen gejact is the German version of Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park (also known as Attack Of The Phantoms In Europe and Kiss Phantoms In Italy). This 1978 made-for-television musical-fantasy film starred Kiss and was produced by the animation studio of Hanna-Barbera Productions. The film’s plot revolves around Kiss, who use their superpowers to battle an evil inventor (Abner Devereaux, played by Anthony Zerbe) and to save a California amusement park from destruction. NBC aired the film at the height of Kiss’ popularity in the United States. Due to the film’s poor acting and semi-comedic script, most Kiss fans disliked the film. Despite the film’s poor quality, it has attained cult film status. The members of Kiss themselves despised the film for making them appear buffoonish. For years after its airing, no one who worked for the group was permitted to mention the film in their presence. Its fun to hear The Demon, Gene Simmons, speak German with a lot of added reverb to his voice to make it sound demonic. The concert depicted in the film was recorded in the parking lot of Magic Mountain on May 19, 1978, in front of a crowd of 8,000 people. The group performed a full concert, which was followed by lip-synched performances of some songs. Rip And Destroy, an altered version of Hotter Than Hell that was featured in the movie, was not performed during the concert. The soundtrack to the music was purely performed by Kiss.
