Happy Halloween !
10/30/2002

In October 1976, KISS taped 'Paul Lynde's Halloween Special', performing DETROIT ROCK CITY, KING OF THE NIGHT TIME WORLD and BETH. Although the television program featured Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of OZ, i t was KISS's performance that single-handedly earned the show's over the top ratings. Playing off the late comedian's corny jokes, it was the first time the entire group had an opportunity to act out their characters together on a television screen. photo by Barry Levine
