Here's a long shot - I'm trying to find out the name of a movie.

I saw it quite a while ago - maybe more than 15 years - and have no idea what year it was made.... there was liquor involved, which is why my memory of the film is so patchy.

There was a monsterman of sorts and as far as I can remember, he reminded me of Tim Curry's 'Lord of Darkness' character in the film Legend. From what I recall he was 'with' a young woman, and everyone seemed to accept his presence without question... I don't recall anyone running or screaming when they saw him.

At one point there was a lighthouse (or maybe a small rocky island?) and I think a party was going on. The monsterman said something that made everyone watching the movie howl with laughter... it went something like "Who do I have to sleep with to get a drink around here?"

TBH, even if I heard/read the name of the movie again, I doubt if I'd recognize it. BUT if I looked up suggested names of movies and read about them or did image searches, hopefully I'd recognize it.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

It's about a forgotten, underappreciated, demon.

Wikipedia described him as "a foul-mouthed, alcoholic beast" and an image search of the film confirmed that's the movie... thank you SO much!
