the same director did a film called 'My Demon Lover' (imdb synopsis "A homeless street musician becomes a demon when sexually aroused") which would have totally had one of these posters if came out a few years earlier, but sadly it was released in 1987 so the poster looked like this:

the German poster is a little more like it, but it's still clear that the golden age was over

Good one, classic homage to the aesthetic. I hadn't realized Christopher Lloyd was still working, and then I looked at his wikipedia and holy shit he works a lot! 9 movies just in the last 3 years, though I will not be investigating their quality
