“I was a KISS fan but I became much more of a KISS fan when we did that movie, we got to fly in the KISS jet, I got to make out with Shannon Tweed.  Gene was producing the movie, so he was cool with that, You know what he whole process is like so boring usually but I had such a blast on that movie,” Furlong said.  We spoke about the price of KISS tickets where you could  pay a scalper $75.00 for a $7.50 ticket. Today that $75.00 might not even get you in the building.

This is not Furlong’s first visit to Philly, he was here shooting Animal Factory at the old Holmsburg Prison. He is there until Saturday. When asked what he is up to, He responded “I’m breaking out into the bestiality porn industry , Na I’m just messing with you, ” he expects people to want to talk about , Animal Factory  and Detroit Rock City.When you see him, It’s guaranteed he will make wise ass comments and keep you off guard.
