Errors

 * KISS' connection to the talismen is never explained.

 * Despite only being called Dee in the film, the credits refer to her as Dirty Dee.
 * The only victim of Abner who is freed is Sam.

Everlasting influence

 * In the Family Guy episode "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas," the movie is homaged in another similar movie Peter watches called KISS Saves Santa.
 * The film is used as a major source of inspiration for the 2015 animated direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo! and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery, where KISS have superpowers again (which are revealed to be of alien origin), and this time, also have their own theme park.
