Classic Black Cinema Series: Abby

When: Sun., Aug. 14, 3 p.m. 2022

This film stars Carol Speed as the title character, William H. Marshall and Terry Carter. It was directed by William Girdler, who co-wrote the film's story with screenwriter Gordon Cornell Layne. Blaxploitation horror movie Abby was a big hit when released in 1974, but it was pulled from distribution following a lawsuit from Warner Brothers, who claimed it was a rip-off of its 1973 hugely popular film, The Exorcist. Abby is a similar movie, although there are enough variations from the plot of The Exorcist where it could have had a fair chance to become major success.
