- TriviaDamian Kaluta, one of the protagonists of the film, is played by Val Mayerik, who is also one of the creators of Howard the Duck. I'd assume that's his art on the poster as well. The name of his character Kaluta comes from 1970's comic book artist Michael W. Kaluta and many of the names in the film are also derived from comic and horror icons of that era, like Detective Tom Frazetta (painter Frank Frazetta, who designed most of Fire and Ice), Officer Lester Gould (Chester Gould, creator of Dick Tracy perhaps?), Elaine Ormsby (Alan Ormsby of Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things), Alex Redondo (Filipino Swamp Thing artist Nestor Redondo), Susan Ackerman (Forest Ackerman, of course), Charles Wrightson (Berni Wrightson, who drew the comic for Creepshow), Jane Corben (Richard Corben, who created Den from the Heavy Metal magazine and movie, as well as the painter of the poster for Spookies), Garrett Adams (Neal Adams), Janis Romero (George Romero) and Pamela Kirby (Jack Kirby).

Featured review
"The World Is Full Of Shadow People, Moving And Going Nowhere!"...
DEMON LOVER is an ultra-low budget horror film featuring a long-haired sorcerer named Laval, who bears a striking resemblance to the Cowardly Lion of Oz. He seeks ultimate power through occult means. When his "occult study group" (!) walks out on him, he decides to go it alone, performing a ritual on some naked woman in the basement.
After actually conjuring a demon, Laval's ex-followers begin dying in grisly ways.
The mega-cheeeze piles up fast, with a supporting cast of what can only be described as animatronic mannequins and a soundtrack recorded in a public toilet. Thankfully, it's all presented so seriously that one can only howl in approval. This is funny stuff! Just wait until you see the demon!
BEST SCENES: #1- A girl in a car having the world's most hilarious seizure! #2- The apocalyptic shaving cream battle sequence!
Fans of Gunnar Hansen had better not blink. He stars as Professor Peckinpah for about 30 seconds...
