"Whiteley creates a hauntingly effective image of the serial killer standing in his kitchen - the same scene presented as an installation in Madame Tussauds wax museum in London. The mask attached to the gas tube, complete with its bulldog clip and hovers over the chair in awaiting their next victim. The use of perforated film-strip edges gives the screenprint a dramatic presence and the idea of actual footage." (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne)

Other impressions of this print are currently held in the permanent collections of the Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; and Tate, London.
