Abby (trailer)

Obscure 1974 blaxploitation "Exorcist" rip-off flick from Kentucky-bred zero budget auteur William Girdler ("Grizzly"). Warner Bros sued over the similarities, and the movie was quickly withdrawn from circulation shortly after its release. Jesus, what a bunch of killjoys! Starring blaxploit regular Carol Speed as Abby, and co-starring William Marshall - esteemed African American stage actor, Mr. "Blacula", and future "Pee Wee's Playhouse" King of Cartoons (one of 'em, anyway). The movie may be no great shakes, but it beats the hell out of 99% of the leaden Italian "Exorcist" rip-offs that followed and where were the damn lawyers then, huh?

i know. classic, huh?

[deadenddrivein]

i have to say, it's really good to see people with different viewpoints be able to come to some kind of understanding of one another without resorting to the usual flame wars and insults.

Actor William Marshall is the only reason I would sit through this. I'm thinking if they hadn't gotten James Earl Jones, Marshall's voice would've been befitting Lord Darth Vader.
