History Music / CreaturesOfTheNight

** This continues into the music video for "I Love It Loud", where by the end, a bunch of youths with glowing eyes walk out into the street, where the band members (also sporting glowing eyes) are waiting.

* [[AbsenteeActor Absentee Musician]]: Ace Frehley throughout the entire album, as he was replaced by other guitarists, including Vinnie Vincent, who took over his slot as lead guitarist after Ace left the band.

* CoverVersion: "Rock and Roll Hell" was actually originally a song by BTO. Jim Vallance, who wrote original version, co-wrote revised version with Music/BryanAdams and offered it to Kiss. Simmons then added another verse to make the song more of Kiss' own.
** Ace Frehley covered Kiss version on his cover album Origins Vol. 1.

''Creatures Of The Night'' is the tenth studio album by Music/{{KISS}}, released in 1982. It was also the last to feature the band in make-up until the 1998 release of ''Music/PsychoCircus'', although for Eric Carr it would be his last featured make-up appearance. Despite appearing on the cover, Ace Frehley is completely absent on the album, as he was in the process of leaving the band at the time (not unlike Peter Criss and ''Music/{{Unmasked}}''). This marks the first appearance with Frehley's replacement Vinnie Vincent, albeit initially uncredited. It was the last KISS album to be published under the band's old record label Casablanca Records (its founder Neil Bogart died the same year that it was published) before Casablanca went defunct and they switched to Creator/MercuryRecords. Since both labels were owned by [=PolyGram=], some early copies of the album would be misprinted with one side of songs from John Cougar Mellencamp's album ''American Fool''.
