On 8. July 1977, Kiss debuted Sam T. Serpent in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on Kiss’ opening night of the “Love Gun” tour. Sam was used on stage up until their “Dynasty” tour in 1979, as well as in the Kiss film “Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park”. Sam was a stage prop snake breathing smoke, spinning around a torch with fire for Gene Simmons to light up the torch he used to breathe fire. The eyes were originally green bulbs, then at some point the lenses were painted red.
