Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park (also known as Kiss in the Attack of the Phantoms) is a 1978 television film, starring American hard rock band Kiss. 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.
The film was aired by NBC at the height of Kiss's popularity in the United States. Its poor acting and semi-comedic script causes it to be regarded poorly even by most Kiss fans. Despite this or because of this, it has attained cult film status. The film is hated by the band members themselves for the buffoonish way it made them appear. For years after its airing, no one who worked for the group was permitted to mention the film in their presence.

Are less than are the downward years,
Drawn slowly to the foamless weirs
Of age, were she to lose him.”

Business, if you wanted to know, was punk at the opera.
The heroine no longer appeared in Faust.
The crowds strolled sadly away.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
