OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE

"ROCK 'N' ROLL ALL NITE" BLASTS the way it's supposed to

sound. The jammin' KISS classic is accompanied by a barrage

of QUICK CUTS depicting KISS mania. TV appearances. Concert

footage. Magazine covers. Comic Books. Posters. Art work.

KISS merchandise, dolls, lunch boxes, clothes, etc.

We see the BAND do their thing in authentic CLIPS FROM REAL

SHOWS. GENE, PAUL, ACE, AND PETER SHOUTING IT OUT LOUD.

The MONTAGE is a colorful, kick-ass kaleidoscope of the entire

KISS phenomena. CUT TO the BEAT of this seminal anthem.

The FINAL IMAGE is the KISS "DESTROYER" POSTER.

END CREDITS:

TICKET CHECK:

INT. JAM'S BEDROOM - DAY

The sun's early morning rays beam through the KISS "Destroyer"

poster taped onto a window shade. The phone RINGS. Jam bolts

upright, his profile blocking the poster. He has just awakened

under the only other decoration in his room: a crucifix.

Still dressed in last night's clothes, a plain black tee-

shirt and blue jeans, Jam leaps out of bed unwittingly

planting a foot in the handle of a Bullworker (a piece of

exercise equipment comprised of a powerful spring with two

handles on either end) whose other handle is stuck under one

of the bed's legs.

Jam runs to a phone on his dresser, drawing the Bullworker's

powerful springs out to maximum tension. No sooner does he

pick up, when he is yanked to the floor and dragged across

it as if tied to the bumper of a speeding car. Despite the

Bullworker pulling him back toward his bed, Jam does manage

to get the phone to his ear.

JAM:

Hello?

The phone's cord stretches taut causing its cradle to leap

from the dresser and WHACK Jam on the head.

INT. LEX'S BASEMENT/BEDROOM - DAY

Hawk is on the phone as Lex and Trip scour every inch of the

cluttered room on their hands and knees searching frantically

for something.

HAWK:

Jam, listen up.

JAM (O.S.)

Hawk?
