On this day April 24, 1987, the supernatural romantic comedy My Demon Lover premiered in theaters. Directed by Charlie Loventhal and starring Scott Valentine and Michelle Little, the film followed a New York street performer dealing with a strange and unfortunate curse that complicates his love life.
Known for its quirky tone and practical effects, the movie attempted to blend romance, humor, and monster movie energy into one offbeat package. While it only pulled in 3.9 million at the box office, it gained some traction in home video circles and late night TV reruns.
Fun fact: Scott Valentine landed this role shortly after his run on Family Ties, where he played Nick, Mallory’s leather jacket wearing boyfriend.
Trivia question: Before starring in My Demon Lover, what sitcom role made Scott Valentine a recognizable face to 80s audiences?
