The "Killer" picture sleeve featured a tongue-moving gimmick.

"Killer" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss. Featured on their 1982 album, Creatures of the Night, the song was released as an A-side single in the United Kingdom. Although "I Love It Loud" was an A-side single in the United States, it would be relegated to the B-side in the UK.[1]

Written by Gene Simmons and Vinnie Cusano (later known as Vinnie Vincent), the song was one of the first that they wrote together.

In 2008, the song was featured on the Vinnie Vincent tribute album KISS MY ANKH: A Tribute To Vinnie Vincent, covered by DoubleVirgo.[2]
