(ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC) (DEMONIC LAUGHTER) (ELECTRIC GUITAR) (MUSIC CONTINUES) Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Good, good, man. Now gimme another one. Argh! How long do we have to keep doing this? All right, my voice is getting hoarse. Look, somebody's gotta fix this camera. How else are those scaredy-cat kids gonna get a picture of themselves screaming their heads off? (CHUCKLES) Scaredy-cats. Funny. What seems to be the trouble? I don't know. Every photo has some weird red haze in it. But I'm pretty sure I just fixed it. (SNIFFS) Whoo! You smell rotten eggs? (SNIFFS) Argh! STAMMERS: W... What? Water buffalo? STAMMERS: W... Water slide? What is it? STAMMERS: Witch! (GASPS) Give me rock! (BOTH SCREAM) (WHIMPERING) BOTH: Argh! BOTH: Huh? BOTH: Argh! BOTH: Argh! Give me rock! (BOTH SCREAM) (WHOOSH!) (BOTH SCREAM) Give me rock! BOTH: Argh! (BOTH WHIMPER) Oh, man, I think we lost her. Give me rock! Whoa! (BOTH SCREAM) (BOTH WHIMPER) There's a... We saw a... We saw a... There's a... BOTH: ...witch! Big deal! A witch, a witch! Pipe down already. You're giving me a headache. Stop getting so excited. But we saw her. She had this grotesque head. It was so frightening! Well, welcome to Kiss World! That's the whole point of this park, isn't it? To excite and fright. Now get back to work. Oh, by the way, don't forget your souvenir photo. She's back. Only one thing we can do ` get me the hottest mystery solvers in the world. (TYRES SCREECH) Like, I can't believe we get to go to Kiss World. Ha ha! And solve a mystery. That's like killing two birds with one stone. Yeah! Or two birds with one cat. (BOTH GIGGLE) Personally, I find their sideshow act a little juvenile, but my mother told me to take a more active role in my friends' interests. Well, I'm pretty interested in Starchild. He's so dreamy. Hey! Sorry, everyone. You did that on purpose! Ha! Now it looks like a shooting star. Make a wish, Scoob. I wish I was eating a Scooby Snack. Good one, dude. I wish I could breathe fire like the Demon. (BLAH!) I wish you'd all come to your senses. You don't see me acting ridiculous over my favourite group, The Ascot Five, do ya? # Oh, no, no, no, no, no. # Don't tug my ascot. Don't pull my ascot. # It's not a scarf. # No, baby. # You can't have my ascot, cos girl, it's mine... # Fred, please. Phew. I'm just sayin', I think they're twice the band Kiss is. But do The Ascot Five have an awesome amusement park? Yeah. Awesome amusement park? It is so majorly groovy to be at Kiss World on Halloween night! Listen to those crowds. Oh, I'm so excited, I think I'm gonna freak out! Apparently, you're not the only one. Like, dude, don't most people usually run towards awesome rock concerts? Not at an Ascot Five concert ` everyone walks in a calm, orderly fashion. Help! Help! Witch! Oh my gosh! She's so terrifying! The scariest witch ever! Witch!? With the red mist! And the creepy laugh! Save yourself while you can! BOTH: Argh! Wait a minute. The Demon, The Starchild, The Catman, The Spaceman ` oh, please tell me they added a witch. Somehow, I doubt that. In fact, it's probably the reason we're here. Not me. I'm here for the funnel cake. C'mon, gang. Let's get to work. (LAID-BACK MUSIC) Like, excuse me, ma'am. Sorry. Park's closed. But we're here to solve a mystery. Sure, you are (!) You always wear make-up when solving crimes (?) (SCOFFS) I should hope so. She means the Kiss make-up. No, we're just excited about the concert tonight, but we're the mystery solvers you called for. I am Delilah Domino, chief of security. Why would I call mystery solvers? What? But Daphne took the call. Right, Daph? Well... Daphne!? OK. The thing is, no one actually called for our help. ALL: What?! But when I heard Kiss was throwing a special Halloween concert, I just had to come. I mean, look at that poster of Starchild. He stares at me wherever I go. So does the Mona Lisa, but you don't see us on a plane to Italy. Why didn't you just tell us the truth? We all would've come. Not me. Exactly. But once we got here, I knew we'd all have a good time. Plus I thought the odds were pretty good there'd be a mystery for us to solve. I mean, we're the Scooby Gang, and it's an amusement park. Heh. Right? Wrong. It's a closed amusement park. And chances are there won't be any Halloween concert either. So go home. But we've come so far. (LAUGHS) Couldn't we at least have some snacks for the road? Ooh, maybe even some rocky road? (LAUGHS) Yeah. Out! All right, time to get serious. It seems Kiss needs our help. Like, I'm no guitarist, but I can play a mean armpit. Not to play music, Shaggy; to solve the mystery. Well, then, it looks like we'll have to sneak in. You're OK with this? Of course I am. It's a mystery, right? And solving mysteries is what we do. Caught some kids trying to stay in the park, Mr Goldman, but I got rid of 'em. (SIGHS) I can't believe we're chasing customers away. I know, but we went over this ` until we solve this witch mystery, it's safer to keep everyone out. Now, don't get crazy Delilah ` just stay calm, because I'm gonna be very honest with you. I called for some backup. Backup? You must be kidding. Mr Goldman, I am the chief of security ` I think I can take care of this unusual situation. Time is not on our side. The witch has scared away too many people. Tonight's Halloween concert is our only chance to bring them back. (SIGHS) Did ya hear that? We got here just in time. Come on. (SNEAKY MUSIC) Let's check out the supervisor's office. Hey, Scoob, bet I can beat you in a water gun shoot-out. Oh yeah? You're on! (MUSIC CONTINUES) Chip, you don't understand. If Kiss doesn't perform tonight I will lose the park. That's not my concern, Manny. All I care about are the concert tours. Every one of these cities translates into dollar signs. You know what happens if I lose these cities? You have more time to take your kids to Kiss World? No, it means I lose money. Every time Kiss comes back into the park, it means that they're not on the road performing and I'm not selling their merchandise. So forgive me, but as far as I'm concerned, this park can wind up in a toilet ` preferably this Kiss toilet. (TOILET FLUSHES) (DEMONIC LAUGHTER) Cos I don't know how I'm gonna unload this thing. (WHOOSH!) Looks like Spaceman is spaced out. (LAUGHS) On to Starchild. (LAUGHS) Yeah. One Catman down and one Demon to go. (WHOOSH!) (ROCK MUSIC) Ha! (WHOOSH!) (GROWLS) (BOTH WHIMPER) (BOTH WHIMPER) Run! Shaggy! Scooby! Wait! (CRASH!) You! I thought I told you kids to stay out. Hey! Hey! Hey! Whoa! Whoa! Calm down. I'm Manny Goldman, the park supervisor. What's with all the ruckus? It's these nosy kids again. Fortunately, I used to work for a government defence company, so I know how to take down intruders. Like, she's not kidding. Sorry, everyone. We're just trying to help. We overheard that the park is in trouble, and seeing how we're such big Kiss fans, we'd like to do all that we can. We've got it under control, missy, thank you very much. But don't you want the crowds to come back to the park? Oh, they'll come back... to see us. (ROCK MUSIC) # You show us everything you've got. You keep on dancing, and the room gets hot. # you drive us wild. We'll drive you crazy. (MUSIC CONTINUES) # And you say you wanna go for a spin. The party's just begun. We'll let you in. # You drive us wild. # We'll drive you crazy. # You keep on shoutin'. You keep on shoutin'. (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) # I wanna rock and roll # all night # and party every day. I... # wanna rock and roll all night (GULPS) # and party every day. I... # wanna rock and roll all night # and party every day. I... # wanna rock and roll all night # and party every day. (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) # You keep sayin' you'll be mine for a while. You're lookin' fancy, and I like your style. You drive us wild. # We'll drive you crazy. # And you show us everything you've got. # Baby, baby, it's quite a lot. # You drive us wild. We'll drive you crazy. (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) # You keep on shoutin'. You keep on shoutin'. (DRUM BREAK) # I wanna rock and roll # all night # and party every day. I... # wanna rock and roll all night # and party every day. I... # wanna rock and roll all night # and party every day. I... # wanna rock and roll all night # and party every day. # Captions by Faith Hamblyn. www.able.co.nz Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air. Copyright Able 2017. (CROWD CHEERS) C'mon, guys. These special effects cost money. I told you ` you can't use them every time you make an entrance. Ha! (GIGGLES) Like, wow! (LAUGHS) It's Kiss! In person! And in the flesh. 'In the flesh' is the same as 'in person.' Basically, you have just said the same thing twice. How can we help, little lady? Actually, we're here to help you. We're mystery solvers. That's funny. So are we. Wait. You're the ones they called for help? Yeah. They wanted the best; they got the best. But, like, you're a rock band. Every band needs a hobby. The Ascot Five would welcome our help. Well, I guess we're no Ascot Five, so scram! (ALL LAUGH) Yeah? Well, amusement-park mysteries happen to be our specialty. We solved the Foul Play in Funland case, stopped the Roller Ghoster in his tracks and captured the monster of Our Lady of Mercy's parking lot. I guess that was more of a street fair. That's cute, but we solve mysteries on a cosmic level. What does that mean? It means we don't need your help. Now, hold on, guys. Let's not be hasty. What? Really? Not again. You know how the eye sees everything? Well, I just caught a glimpse of the future. Yeah, and I bet the future is a redhead. Ha ha. You bet. I mean, in a way. Don't ask me how or why, but I think we're going to need these kids to catch that witch. You're kidding. They're just humans. Not even all of them. I know. But the eye never lies. I guess they're ok. If you think so, Starchild. I do not like this. On second thought, we've decided you can help. That's great! I guess the first question is, who is this witch everyone's talking about? (SCREAMING) Give me rock! BOTH: Argh! Obviously, you've done this before. (BOTH WHIMPER) Get out of my locker. STAMMERS: But it's so cosy. BOTH: Argh! Give me rock! It's like she's searching for something. And I'm going to guess that something is a rock. (GRUNTS) (STATIC HISSES) Do you think you could show us around the park? I'd like to see some of the places where the witch has been. No problem. Right, fellas? Count me out. The Demon needs to feed the beast. Did he say,... (LAUGHS) 'Beast?' He means his stomach. Oh. (LAUGHS) Then my beast is growlin' too. How bout yours, bud? (GROWLS) (GIGGLES) My beast is starving. Like, catch you later. It's beast-feeding time. I'm ready for that tour now. (GIGGLES) If by tour you mean begin the investigation. Let's hit it, fellow mystery solvers. I guess I'll see you out there. Guys, these special effects cost money! 1 Just think, Scooby-Doo ` a million fast-food stands just for us! (SLURPS) It's like carbohydrate heaven. Uh-oh, the Demon. (SCOFFS) Mmm, nice and toasty. (CHOMPS) Like, wow. I wonder how he does that. Man, if we could breathe fire, we could pop our own popcorn. Yeah. (POPS) (GIGGLES) Come on. We gotta get past him. (CLATTERING) (CLATTERING) (GROWLS) Dude, you sure you know where you're going? (SNIFFS) Yeah, cheeseburgers straight ahead. D'oh! Argh! (SPLAT!) Zoinks! Argh! (GROWLS) Like, sorry, Mr Demon. Scooby didn't mean it. He was afraid of your dragon boot. I don't suppose you could wear an open-toed Demon sandal? (ROARS) (BOTH WHIMPER) Whoa. That was close. Coulda been worse ` we coulda been on the menu. (CHUCKLES) Come on, Scooby-Doo. If we can't eat, at least we can go on some rides. (LAUGHS) Right? Right. I have to say, this is some amusement park. Thanks. We each took a section and designed it ourselves. DEMON: There's my brimstone barbeque, the hottest ride in the park. (BOTH WHIMPER) (ROCK MUSIC) Like, that was well done. Yeah, and so are we. SPACEMAN: And my Electric Alley. This ride gets my volt! (LAUGHS) It's shocking! CATMAN: Don't forget my Whirling Wildcats! (BOTH WHIMPER) STARCHILD: And my Dynasty Star Ferris Wheel. Whoo! BOTH: Huh? A great place to view with Kiss binoculars, only $24.99. What's that ride? That's our most wicked ride of all, The Destroyer. But it's closed to the public. The Crimson Witch scared a couple of repairmen on it earlier tonight. It looks pretty terrifying. Not if you were with me, darlin'. Oh brother. Oh, Fred. I'm sorry, Velma, but I can't compete with Starchild. You don't need to. Remember, underneath all that make-up is just a regular guy who puts his pants on like everyone else. Kiss costume-change activate! (KISS' 'LOVE GUN') (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) (ZAP!) (MUSIC CONTINUES) Oh! Oh, come on! Relax, Fred. I think this was all pre-planned. You're right. It was a dress rehearsal for tonight's show. Good test run, fellas. This isn't getting us anywhere. We need to be doing our own investigation. All right, Demon, I hear you. Hey, guys, we're gonna take a break. Hi. I'm Shandi Strutter, Kiss' head techie. Hi. I'm Velma, and this is Fred and Daphne. Nice to meet you. So you're responsible for all of the band's stage effects, huh? Most of 'em, yeah. The guys really like to put on a show. You don't have to tell me! (LAUGHS) Daphne's a fan. Kiss doesn't have fans, Freddie. They're called the Kiss Army! I prefer the Ascot Five, myself. Do they have an army? It's more of an all-volunteer international organisation of enthusiastic youths. Cool! As in lame. (SLURPING) Good deal finding that ice-cream stand, Scoob. We'll have this case licked in no time. (LAUGHS, SLURPS) Yeah, licked. (SLURPS) (CHOMPS) Mmm. (SIGHS) Dude, maybe we should investigate the Rockin' Flume. READS: Your tongue must be this long to ride this ride. Hey! (CHUCKLES) Looks like your tongue's long enough to get us both on this ride. (LAUGHS) It's like the perfect park day ` no lines, no operators. (CRASHING) BOTH: Huh? (GASPS) Pee-ew! Ew! Like, what died in here? BOTH: Argh! Give me rock! BOTH: Argh! (KISS' 'SHOUT IT OUT LOUD') BOTH: Argh! # Well, the night's begun, and you want some fun. Do you think you're gonna find it? # Think you're gonna find it. # You got to treat yourself like number one. # Do you need to be reminded? # Need to be reminded. # It doesn't matter what you do or say. Just forget the things that you've been told. # We can't do it any other way. # Everybody's got to rock and roll. # Oh. # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. (BOTH WHIMPER) # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. # If you don't feel good, there's a way you could. Don't sit there broken-hearted. # Sit there broken-hearted. # Call all your friends in the neighbourhood and get your party started. # Get your party started. # Don't let 'em tell you that there's too much noise. They're too old to really understand. # you'll still get rowdy with the girls and boys, cos it's time for you to take a stand, yeah. # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. BOTH: Argh! (GROWLS) # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. (BOTH WHIMPER) (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) (GRUNTS) # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. # You got to have a party. # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. # Turn it up louder. # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. # And everybody shout it now. # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. # Oh yeah. # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. # I hear it gettin' louder. # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. # And everybody shout it now. # Shout it, shout it, # shout it out loud. # (GRUNTS) Scoob, look! It's Kiss! (ROCK MUSIC) (ROARS) (GRUNTS) (ZAP!) (ZAP!) (GRUNTS) Whoa, Kiss is super-buff! (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) (ZAP!) (WAILS) (ZAP!) Argh! You'll never stop me! (GRUNTS) (ZAP!) We heard the commotion. Are you guys OK? Hey, man. (CHUCKLES) Did anyone catch the licence-plate number on that witch? (GASPS) (WHIMPERS) 1 Poor Scooby and Shaggy. They're still out. Pardon me. Chip McGhoo, Kiss road manager, executive officer of merchandise. These Kiss smelling salts work twice as fast, and they're only $15.95. (SIGHS) (POP!) Ugh, they're still not coming around. Sorry. No refunds. I think I might have the solution. Try this churro I grabbed from the concession stand. (BOTH SNIFF) (BOTH CHOMP) BOTH: Hmm? Hey, man! Hi, Shaggy. How do you feel? I feel like a couple more churros. How bout you, Scooby-Doo? Yeah. And doughnuts too. How bout some Kiss Kakes? Now with Spaceman sprinkles. What happened? Well, first we got some ice cream, which Scooby-Doo licked away from me. Mmm. Yummy, yummy, yummy! Then there was this smell and the stinky witch and all this running and music and spinning, and then... uh, and then, uh, like, they saved us ` Kiss and their superpowers! That's right ` Kiss has superpowers. Sounds like they spun around one two many times in those drums. No! Like, he shot eye beams, he grew claws, he did lightning bolts, and he flew in and blew the biggest fire ever! Thank you, Mr Demon. Beat it, mutt, before you dent my armour. Yes, sir. Of course, sir. Shaggy, you're imagining things. Well, he didn't imagine the witch. That's for sure. What should we do now? You must leave! Trust me, Kiss, these children are nothing but trouble. You think they're allies, but in the end, the only person they'll help is the Crimson Witch, in her plans to bring total devastation to this world. They must go now or all is lost! (ALL GASP) Huh? Guys, you've gotta stop doing this. If you wanna speak further, you know where to find me. Who was that? Chikara, the psychic. She works at the park. She tells people's fortunes. Well, she smells like a mixture of patchouli and hobo. She's actually very wise. Maybe someone should talk to her. I'll go. Mind if I tag along? I find it odd that she thinks she knows so much about the witch. Some of us should go back to the drum ride and try to pick up the witch's trail. I'll go with you, if you want. I want. I'll go too. Demon, Catman, keep an eye on Scooby and Shaggy. I got better things to do than babysit dogs and hippies. Hey, have fun. (ZAP!) These confetti bombs just aren't getting any cheaper. There. I got some residue from the witch's mist. Oh. (GIGGLES) That's nice, Fred. Say, could you take a picture of me and Starchild looking for clues? Is this really necessary? He's a rock star, Fred ` a rock star. Just do it. All right. And a couple more for safety. Thank you so much. My pleasure. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see! Ugh! Fred! Your thumb was in the way. On all of them. Oh gosh. Heh. I'm sorry. Are you doing this on purpose? No! I just don't see what the big deal is. We've solved over a thousand mysteries together, and you've never once asked to have your picture taken with me. (GROWLS) No worries. I got one of the both of you in vibrant, colourful acrylic! (GASPS) You just painted our portrait? Sure. Just now? No big deal ` just something I do in my spare time. (GIGGLES) Oops. Well, look, my thumb got in the way. But you painted it. Luckily, I did a couple more for safety. (GASPS) It's beautiful. I think I liked your thumb better. Maybe we should take some more pictures of the scene itself. No need. One scan with my special eye will tell us all we'll need to know. It puts the X in X-ray. (GASPS, GIGGLES) Oof! My nephew had a special eye ` a pink one we called 'conjunctivitis.' There's definitely a supernatural presence at work here. Hey, guys, wait. Listen. Not bad. But I am not into tap dancing ` I am purely into... rock and roll! Whoa yeah! OK. Well,... one side sounds solid... and the other hollow. As if it's some sort of trapdoor. Exactly. (DOOR CREAKS) It looks like one of the doors to the catacombs. The what-a-combs? The catacombs are what we call the maze of hallways that run under the park. They give us access to any area, including the main stage. I'll bet this is how the witch disappeared. Sounds dangerous. Stay back, Frank. It's Fred. I'll go first to make sure it's safe. (GRUNTS) Oh! I hope he's all right. Oh, for Pete's sake. What're you doing? It's not like this is the first time I've ever climbed into a` Argh! I'd watch that last step! It's a doozy. (CHIMES TINKLE) Chikara, we need to talk. Ah, Spaceman. I sensed your approach. You mean you heard the wind chimes? Humph! Why do you bring this one with you? Starchild seems to think they're OK. Plus they've got a talking dog, which is kind of wild, so` Starchild can not see as deep as I can. He has but one special eye, whereas I have two. Some people say I have four. I know you think this is a joke, Miss Smarty-Pants, but your ignorance will cost us all. OK, then. I'm game ` tell us what we need to know. How serious is the threat? The danger grows, Spaceman. The Crimson Witch senses the Rock of Kissteria is near. Rock of Kissteria? What's that? It's the key to holding evil at bay. This began on a Halloween night on another world in a cosmic realm known as Kissteria. An evil sorceress called the Crimson Witch... created a gigantic horror known as... the Destroyer. (LAUGHS EVILLY) She sent the Destroyer to spread devastation throughout the land, the first step toward infecting the entire realm with evil. Destroy! (ROARS) (CRASHING) But the warriors had a weapon, cosmic power crystals ` the Kissteria crystals. Each crystal sounded a musical note. (SYNTHESISER MUSIC) The warriors used the music of the crystals to force the Destroyer to retreat, and once the monster was back inside its volcanic temple,... No! (ROARS) ...they transferred the musical energy of the crystals into a single, powerful... rock. That rock ` the Rock of Kissteria ` became the key. By removing it, the Destroyer would be trapped forever. Naturally, the Crimson Witch has been desperate to retrieve it, especially by Halloween night, when circumstances are ripe to release the Destroyer. Where's the rock now? It's had many protectors over the ages, each one a descendant of the musical warriors who fought so bravely. Today these guardians are known as Kiss! You guys have it?! Yup. We used to display it at the Hall of Kisstory in the park, but when it gets near Halloween, we keep it with us on tour. Wait a second. Is this the rock, the Detroit rock that you received as a gift from the city of Detroit? That's just a cover story. Yeah. And isn't the Destroyer just the name of a ride? Blasphemous! Have you learned nothing? The Destroyer will strike fear into your heart! I know. That's what the poster says. Argh! Get her away from me. She and her friends will do more harm than good. That woman is crazy. But her powers are impressive. You actually believe all that? Chikara's never wrong. Except that time she predicted the Love Gun album would go gold. Cos it went platinum. Oh yeah, baby! (GROANS) Starchild! Starchild! (SIGHS) I hope nothing's happened to him. (EVIL LAUGHTER) What was that? Of all the times to be without my flashlight. (BOTH GASP) You wanna buy a Kiss flashlight? Comes with a handy key ring. What're you doing down here? Hey, I was just checking on the props of the concert, and I got lost in this maze. (EVIL LAUGHTER) There it is again! Oh! If I only stocked up on Kiss batteries. Hang on. I can use my cell phone. (BOTH GASP) Oh. Those are the props I've been looking for. Kiss monster props ` part of the Halloween show. House seats still available. (EVIL LAUGHTER) That doesn't sound like a prop. This way. You're leaving? Hello? Manager in the dark. Hello? (EVIL LAUGHTER) (EVIL LAUGHTER) In here! (EVIL LAUGHTER) (SHRIEKS) I got it! (GRUNTS) Whoa! Freddie! What is this place? It's my special-effects lab. I thought I told you guys to stay back. Some of us had other ideas. Don't worry, Fred ` we can dry you off. Beth? Christine? OK! All right! That's good! Thank you! Oh! (CRASH!) I take it you didn't find the witch. I searched this whole sector, except for the chem lab. That's why I came to Shandi. I'm the only one who has the key. For the last few months, chemicals have gone missing, so I keep the lab under lock and key. No one gets in without coming to me first. See? Empty. Hey, is that a chemical analyser? Pretty smart of you, Fred. Oh, I've got a couple at home. Hey, do you think you can analyse this? It's the residue from the witch's mist. Sure. Anything for a fellow chemmy. I don't think I've worked this hard in, like, oh, forever. Me neither. Hey, Mr Catman, when do we get to eat? After you've brought the Kiss monsters on stage. Monsters? Yeah, chip brought 'em over. They're below us. Like, where're the stairs, man? Don't need 'em. That must be them, Scoob. Now. these are the kind of monsters I like ` fake ones. (GASPS) Raggy, look. It's Kiss' green room, where they hang out before the show. Scoob, you hit the jackpot. Think of all the impressive people who have been invited down here ` the pizza-delivery guy, the sandwich-delivery guy, the creepy witch, the sushi-delivery guy... Give me rock! Zoinks! Creepy witch! Argh! (WHIMPERS) (CACKLES) Like, maybe she'll think this is the real Kiss and go away. Alive! (ZAP!) (ALL GROWL) (WHIMPERS) (BOTH SNARL) (SHRIEKS) (WHIMPERS) (GROWLING) Please go away! Please go away! Please go away! BOTH: Huh? QUIETLY: Are they gone? WHISPERS: Maybe they're waiting for us to let our guard down. Well, they're gonna have to wait a long time. Shaggy? Scooby? Are you in there? Like, how do they know our names? Shaggy! Velma? Why are you not being eaten by Kiss monsters? Kiss monsters? What are you talking about? SHAGGY: They're gone. I can't say we don't have enough suspects. The problem is finding a motive. The only one who'd like the park to shut down is Chip, but he doesn't seem smart enough. Shandi's smart enough. I know, but she's way too cute to be a suspect. Mr Goldman and the security lady don't want the park to close ` they'll lose their jobs. Chikara's the one who's the most obsessed with the witch. She talks as if she's really supernatural. She's not? No, Shaggy, she's not. No matter what you think you've seen, there has to be a rational explanation. It all centres on that rock. The so-called Rock of Kissteria, which seems to be Kiss' Detroit rock. You mean the one they sing about in that song Detroit Rock City? I always thought that stood for rock and roll. Huh. I never thought of that. I guess that works too. Did you figure anything out? Not yet. But if we had that rock, we might be able to set a trap. Then maybe it's time we hand it over to you, darlin'. I do not like this. It's going to be fine. How do you know? Oy. Come on, Demon. If we don't stop the witch tonight, the park will go under. So let's rock these kids already. Ugh. All right. (ROCK MUSIC) Jinkies. It's a black diamond! The largest in the world. That explains why the Crimson Witch has turned this place upside down looking for it. Now it's just a matter of setting a trap. Yeah. So, like, who's gonna be the bait? ALL: You are. Scoob, how is it that out of four ginormous superheroes, you and I have to do the hard part? Oh, just lucky, I guess. Come on, you can do it. Yeah. We'd can't lure her out. Put yourself in our shoes. You know what? That might just help. Dude, I figure, the bigger the shoes, the faster we'll run. (LAUGHS) Good idea, Shaggy. Just make sure the witch sees the rock. Fred? Daphne? You in position? Roger that. Just make sure you bring her our way. OK, then, you two. Start walking. Not a problem. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa! (LAUGHS) Problem! Come on, guys. We have to get this mystery wrapped up before the concert starts. How does Kiss walk in these things? 1 ALL: We want Kiss! We want Kiss! I thought the concert was off. It's on again. Kiss thinks they can nab the witch before it starts. Nice that someone tells me (!) I only happen to be in charge of backstage security. Better be ready for anything, Delilah. Those fans are going to get the best Halloween concert that a hundred and fifty bucks can buy. Ugh! Didn't Kiss tell you? They're performing for free. Free? Oh, my heart! And how bout this? They're even giving away T-shirts. Where is my Kiss defibrillator? Rock of Kissteria! Get your Rock of Kissteria here, rare object of cosmic origin! (SNIFFS) Dude, you been eatin' beef jerky again? Nuh-uh. Not this time. Then she's here! (WHIMPERS) (LAUGHS EVILLY) (BOTH WHIMPER) You gotta get her closer to us. Man, these boots were a terrible idea. (WAILS) Give me rock! (BOTH SCREAM) (CACKLES) It's mine! Now! (SHRIEKS) OK, let's see who this fake witch really is. (ROARS) ALL: Argh! (BOTH WHIMPER) I don't remember her on the suspect list. (ROARS) Fools! The Destroyer will feast on your fear. (ROARS) BOTH: Huh? (ROARS) (GRUNTS) There she is. (GRUNTS) (SHRIEKS) (ROCK MUSIC) (WHOOSH!) Ding-dong, the witch is down. Scratch that. (ZAP!) Here, Shaggy. (SHRIEKS) (CACKLES) (RATTLING) (ALL GRUNT) (BOTH SCREAM) Argh! Thanks. (INTENSE MUSIC) (GROWLS) (GRUNTS) Argh! ALL: Argh! (BOOM!) (ROARS) (ROCK MUSIC) (WHIMPERS) Like, somebody help us! (WHIMPERS) Argh! (BOOM!) Jeepers! What just happened? The Crimson Witch ripped a hole in the universe. Activate the Dynasty Star portal. You mean the Ferris wheel? It's actually a portal to the cosmic realm of Kissteria. Of course it is. Does she have to come? Does your eye see the future? Then let's rip this open! (KISS' 'I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN' YOU') # Ooh, yeah! (ALL SHRIEK) # Ha! # Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. # Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. # Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. # Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. # Tonight # I wanna give it all to you. (WHIMPERS) (SNARLS) # In the darkness, # there's so much I wanna do. # And tonight, # I wanna lay it at your feet, # cos girl, I was made for you # and girl, you were made for me. # I was made for loving you, baby. # You were made for loving me. # And I can't get enough of you, baby. # Can you get enough of me? # Tonight, # I wanna see it in your eyes. # Feel the magic. # There's something that drives me wild. # And tonight, # we're gonna make it all come true. # Cos girl, you were made for me. # And girl, I was made for you. # I was made for loving you, baby. # You were made for loving me. # And I can't get enough of you, baby. # Can you get enough of me? # I was made for loving you, baby. # You were made for loving me. # And I can give it all to you, baby. # Can you give it all to me? (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) # Oh! # Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh! # Ooh! (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) I have rock! (CACKLES) (WHOOSH!) (WONDROUS MUSIC) Whoa. Where are we? It's like Kiss World but weirder, if that's possible. It seems like more special effects to me. I don't know. It looks pretty real. I'm afraid. Come on, Daphne. We're still in the theme park. We've seen stranger things. Come, Scooby Gang. We must seek the elder. Nah, these guys take the cake of strangeness. (WONDROUS MUSIC CONTINUES) Ah. Happy feet again, Scoob. Phew. It doesn't smell happy to me. (ROCK MUSIC) 1 Where is everyone? (ROCK MUSIC) That must be her. The elder. She's certainly not the younger. (MUSIC CONTINUES) (MUSIC FADES) A shadow has fallen across Kissteria, and your arrival here only confirms the worst ` the Crimson Witch has the rock. I'm afraid so. We lost her in the portal. Then we have little time to act. Who are they? Earth kids. Are they worthy? Meh. Their hearts are pure, their spirits strong. And their stomachs empty. Yeah, empty. Zip it. You children should prepare yourself. If the Crimson Witch succeeds in releasing the Destroyer, he will engulf your world in a torrent of darkness and evil. I'm ready, your majesty. Fred, is that make-up? It's a moon. Whoa! Who hit you, buddy? No one. Looks like a black eye. It's not. Nice shiner. It's a moon. Please, you seem like a nice boy ` go stand with your friends. Fred, are you trying to impress me? No, it's just that, well, you've been hanging all over Starface. (SCOFFS) Have not. Have so. Have not. Have so. Have not. Guys, guys, you've gotta stop this. If we're ever going to finish this cosmic boondoggle and get back to solving the real mystery, we need to act like a team, all of us, even these weirdos. The sarcastic girl speaks the truth ` only together will you have the power and skills needed to defeat the Destroyer. Starchild, do you mind if I ask where you get your superpowers from? Rock 'n' roll! It powers everything in Kissteria. I don't know; maybe I can find friends with normal interests. Be careful with that bass. Because it's made from alien technology? Because it costs more than your house. Excuse me, Mr Demon, is it rock 'n' roll that makes you breathe fire? No. Then what does? Tamales? No. Hot peppers? No. Chimichanga sauce? No. You might as well tell them, Demon, before we get another grocery list. (SIGHS) The secret to breathing fire is to swallow your fears. Fears? Like, I didn't know you could eat those. Swallow them up, hold 'em inside, and force 'em out as Demon fire! (WHOOSH!) Talk about your acid reflux. There it is. The tomb of the Destroyer. And there's the witch. (ROCK MUSIC) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (MUSIC FADES) You shouldn't have brought them here, Kiss. They will surely never leave Kissteria... alive! (ALL SCREAM) (GROWLS) (HARPIES SCREAM) I'll go after her myself. You guys stay and protect the kids. Oh, great, more babysitting (!) (ALL SCREAM) BOTH: Argh! (HARPIES SCREAM) (HARPIES SCREECH) Argh! Argh! This is one heck of a theme-park attraction! Oh! (SCREECHES) (ZAP!) Oh! (GROANS) (ZAP!) (ROCK MUSIC) (GRUNTS) (WHOOSH!) BOTH: Whoa! (SHRIEKS) (BOTH WHIMPER) (SCREECHES) (WHIMPERS) Oh no. Dead end! (BOTH WHIMPER) Like, have you been swallowing your fears, Scooby-Doo? Oh yeah. Lots of 'em. Good. Then let 'em rip. (SCREECHES) (BOTH GRUNT) (SCREECHES) (SCREECHES) (THUD!) (DRUM ROLL) Well done, pathetic scum. Thanks, Mr Demon. We think? BOTH: Yeah! (INTENSE MUSIC) (WHOOSH!) It's over, Crimson Witch. I'll be taking back the Rock of Kissteria. (ROCK MUSIC) (STARS CLATTER) (BOOM!) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (WHOOSH!) (BOOM!) Rock, Starchild? (GRUNTS) While settle for the rock when you can have the whole mountain? (ROCK MUSIC) (ZAP!) (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) (CRASH!) (CRASH!) (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) (CACKLES) (CRASH!) (RUMBLING) (ROCK MUSIC FADES) Arise, Destroyer! Yo,.... witchy-poo! I'm not done yet. Such arrogance! You can't defeat me alone. Just watch me. (ROCK MUSIC) Argh! (MUSIC CONTINUES) (GROWLS) (SCREECHES) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (SCREECHES) (GRUNTS) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (GASPS) Yes! (MUSIC CONTINUES) Argh! (MUSIC CONTINUES) (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) (LAUGHS) Argh! (CRASH!) (RUMBLING) (BOOM!) Dude, I hope that's my stomach rumbling. No. Look! (BOOM!) You're too late. (LAUGHS) I go now to watch the destruction of your beloved Earth. (WHOOSH!) Farewell, fools! (WHOOSH!) (ROCK MUSIC) Nice work stopping the witch. I couldn't beat her on my own. You know, the elder said that the only way to stop whatever's happening here is with teamwork. Right? Right. Really? Yeah, as much as I hate to admit it, we need to work together. Hey, Starchild said that rock and roll powers everything here. And it was music that created the Rock of Kissteria in the first place. So if we create massive music,... ...our kind of music,... ...we'll overload the Destroyer. Yeah, you guys just need to make too much rock 'n' roll! Too much rock 'n' roll? Ain't no such thing. Look, you're Kiss. If anyone can make too much rock and roll, it's you. Then we'll head back to Kiss World and start the concert while you guys distract the Destroyer. How will we do that? With this. (ALARM CHIRPS) (MAJESTIC MUSIC) (RUMBLING) (HISSING) Wow. Neat! We call it the Kiss Kraft. We have a van that we call the Mystery Machine. That's cool, Frank, but we're running out of time. It's Fred! (EVIL LAUGHTER) (GASPS) Quick! Get in the Kiss Car! Kiss Kraft! (CRASH!) Oh! Whoopsie! ALL: Whoa! ALL: Argh! (ALL GRUNT) You really need to lay off the Scooby Snacks. Huh? (GROWLS) ALL: Argh! (WHIMPERS) Like, how did I get out here? (LAUGHS) Yes! Freedom is mine! ALL: We want Kiss! We want Kiss! We want Kiss! We want Kiss! We want Kiss! We want Kiss! We want Kiss! We want Kiss! I know the fans want to get in, but I haven't heard from Kiss yet. Where are they? We're here, Goldman. Open the gates and let the army in. (ROCK MUSIC) We need to rock and roll! (CROWD CHEERS) (LAUGHS) Yes! Free at last! Free to destroy! Free to swallow the Earth in evil! Not so fast, Destroyer. Out of my way, insolent flea. Whoa, he is really big. Make us, bucket head. All right, Kiss World! You wanted the best, and you got it! The hottest band in the world ` Kiss! (CROWD CHEERS) (BAND PLAY ROCK MUSIC) I hate music! (BOTH WHIMPER) (CROWD CHEERS) # I feel uptight on Saturday night. # 9 o'clock, the radio's the only light. (WHOOSH!) # I hear my song, and it pulls me through. (WHOOSH!) # Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do. # I got to get up! Everybody's gonna move their feet. Get down. Everybody's gonna leave their seat. # You gotta lose your mind in Detroit, rock city. # Get up. # Everybody's gonna move their feet. # Get down. # Everybody's gonna leave their seat. (ENGINE WHINES) (ROCK MUSIC) (ROARS) Heads-up! (BOTH WHIMPER) (BAND CONTINUE PLAYING ROCK MUSIC) (CROWD CHEERS) (CROWD CHEERS) (ZAP!) (ROARS) # Movin' fast, doing 95. (GASPS) Like, step on it, Fred! # Hit top speed, but I'm still movin' much too slow. I feel so good. I'm so alive. (ALL GRUNT) (ROARS) # I hear my song playin' on the radio, and it goes, 'Get up. Everybody's gonna move their feet. # Get down. Everybody's gonna leave their seat. ALL: Argh! (GAGS) (PLAYS ROCK MUSIC) (ZAP!) Argh! (ZAP!) Argh! Argh! (SCREECHES) (WHOOSH!) (ZAP!) Argh! (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) (SCREAMS) (ALL GROAN) # 12 o'clock, I gotta rock. There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes. Curse you kiss! Argh! # Oh my God, no time to turn. (GROANS) # I got to laugh cos I know I'm gonna die. # Why? Get up. Everybody's gonna move their feet. # Get up. Everybody's gonna leave their seat. # (CROWD CHEERS) (CHEERING, WHISTLING) (CHEERING FADES) Shaggy? Scooby? Are you awake? I think they're coming around. (GROANS) Like, what happened? Yeah, what happened? You passed out. I guess at some point we all passed out and woke up here. We just got a report on the residue. It seems our Crimson Witch is more of a chemical witch. Her witch haze is really a gas that messes with your senses and creates illusions. You mean to tell me`? It was all a figment of our imaginations. Whoa. That's deep. Yeah, deep. But what about the Destroyer and the cosmic realm? Yeah, the cosmic realm. It never happened. We all had what you call a mass hallucination. Then who has the Rock of Kissteria? Yeah, the Rock of Kissteria. Dude, seriously? After everything I say? Sorry, Raggy. The Crimson Witch has it, but not for long. We figured out where she stashed it. If there's room for you two in here, there's certainly room for a black diamond. Give me rock! ALL: Argh! ALL: Argh! (SCREECHES) (SCREECHES) (GRUNTS) (SCREECHES) (BOTH WHIMPER) (CRASH!) Give me... ...rock! We get it. (GROWLS) (ZAP!) (GROWLS) (BOTH WHIMPER) (ROCK MUSIC) (BOTH WHIMPER) (SCREECHES) Look ` she hid gas dispensers in her cape. (SCREECHES) (GRUNTS, GASPS) And here's the magnetic repulsor field belt she used for flying. Ooh, Quest Research Laboratories ` good stuff. (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) All stolen from her previous employer. (ROARS) (SCREECHES) (CLICK!) (GROANS) Thanks, Starchild. Kiss has been on witch watch ever since we passed out. So, like, who's the witch? I thought you'd have guessed when we opened her locker, Shaggy. She's Delilah Domino, the head of security. Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Delilah, I knew it! I didn't really know it. But you know I like to be smart ` I'm the boss! Curious. I didn't see that coming. How did you know? When Delilah mentioned that she worked for a government defence company, we did some research. Turns out they specialised in lasers. BOTH: So? Lasers that use black diamonds, guys. She was hoping to steal it from here and sell it to a competing defence company, since she was fired from the last one. She was also the one stealing your chemicals so she could make her witch gas. As head of security, she would have had another key card to your lab. And while everyone was watching the concert, she hid the diamond here in her locker. My plan was perfect. And I would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling Kiss! Kids! You meddling kids. Note to self ` Kiss handcuffs. (ROCK MUSIC) Thanks for helping us keep the park open. And thank you for letting us solve the mystery with you. It was... interesting. We couldn't have done it without you. Yeah, I guess you kids are OK after all. Thanks, Mr Demon. You'll always be the only demon I'll ever like. Yeah, thanks, Mr Demon. (SLURPS) (SLURPS) My pleasure. And even though I'll always remain an Ascot Five man, we wound up being pretty great partners. Thanks, Scooby Gang. You guys are welcome back to Kiss World any time. Until then, I leave you with a kiss. (GIGGLES) You know, I think she'd settle for a handshake or an autograph. Hello? Thank you. I mean, you're welcome. (GIGGLES) You know, you could have cut that off a little earlier. It was kinda gross. I mean, I was right there. I was there. Oh, I'm sorry. Did you say something,... Frank? (GIGGLES) Do you know what was the best thing about this adventure? The fact that my philosophy remains intact ` there is always a rational explanation. That is my undeniable, steadfast and... kind of boring philosophy. Hold on, Scoob. Looks like I still have half a churro in my pocket. (SNIFFS) It's cold. (WHOOSH!) BOTH: Huh? (LAUGH) Nice and toasty. Thanks again, guys. Now we gotta get this rock back to the elder for safekeeping. (MAGICAL MUSIC) (BOTH GROAN) (WHOOSH!) Did you see? Did you? You think we should tell her? Nuh-uh. Why rock her world? Good point. (ROCK MUSIC) (BOOM!) # Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah! (LAUGHS) # I still remember when # I saw your face across the room. (ROCK MUSIC) # Told me to take you but the price of love # would seal my doom. # I know the way you made the others break, # but lovin' me would be your first mistake. # Same old ways. # Same old ways. # Modern-day # Delilah. # It's time you learned to give. # Queen to slave. # All right. # Modern-day. # Ooh, Delilah. # Hey! # Just like the trigger on a loaded gun, # you were the reason for the damage done. # Too many lovers, like a hunter's prey. # Not today. (GUITAR SOLO) (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) # I know the way you made the others break, # but lovin' me would be your first mistake. # It's time you learned to give. # Same old ways. # Oh. # Modern day. # Oh, Delilah. # Shame, shame, shame on you, girl. # Queen to slave. # Come on now. # Modern day Delilah. # Yeah, yeah. It's time you learned to give. # Same old ways. # Same old ways. # Now you'll pay. # Oh, Delilah. # Queen to slave. # Oh yeah. # Love's decayed, Delilah. # Ahhh! # # Oh, no, no, no, no, no. # Don't tug my ascot. Don't pull my ascot. # It's not a scarf. # No, baby. # You can't have my ascot, cos girl, it's mine. # Hands off my cravat. No, I don't like that. # You'll get it dirty. # Cravats are for hepcats, and this cat is feeling fine. # We'll go out to a bistro and chat over creme brulee. # Yum, yum, yum, ooh. # Careful with that spoon, though ` a drip could ruin my whole day # and my ascot, silk-patterned ascot. # This one's my favourite. # Ascots are for hep cats, and this one is just divine. (JAZZ MUSIC CONTINUES) # Don't tug my ascot. Don't pull my ascot. # It's not a scarf. # No, baby. # You can't have my ascot, cos girl, it's mine. # It's so divine. # No, you can't have my ascot, cos girl, it's mine, mine,... # ...mine. # Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.
