A few years back I ordered a few VHS tapes trew a company called Video Vortex....one of which was ABBY (1974) with Carol (the Mack) Speed and William (Blacula) Marshall. I was expecting a BLACKENSTEIN piece ofdrival...WOW!!! This is abou the BEST blaxpliotation horror movie EVER!!! Abby (Carol Speed) swears like a truck driver,tosses people around inna bar,screws a dude until smoke rolls out the window of his car(!!!) and is just dam MEAN!!! And it even has a weird subliminal demon face flashing all over the screen when she goes apesh!t,too! Anyone seen this insane movie? I believe it may be avalible only threw companys mail order sites,because of legal problems with Warner Bros.
Anyhow-I HIGHLY recommend it !!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Here's a clip....watch for the Abby demon face flashes!!!

Wow, that looks messed up!
:bouncegiggle:
The swearing in this movie is quite imaginitive too. And her poor husband gets humiliated in every way possible...including in the sack! :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:
Only bad thing...my copy is a really crappy pre-record.So I hafta shop around for a better copy,visual quality wise.
I have this on DVD. I don't think it was available through a widespread release. I ordered it off a website . . . can't even remember which one. The DVD quality is only about as good as a VHS tape, but it's worthwhile to have this Blaxploitation horror classic.
Whoa!
That was some trippy ass s**t!
Imagine if she were your girlfriend.
I'd hate to break up with her! :buggedout:
there used to be a poster here who's screename was abby. She ran williamgirdler.com who is the director.
If you liked this DEFINATELY check out the Manitou. a movie that way well have the most insane premise of any in history
I have this one. Patty, the young lady who created WilliamGirdler.com, sent me the film many years ago. More recently, I picked up the DVD. While the DVD quality is not great, it is better than the VHS I had before.
Still, spot on. This film is over the top and the acting is so earnest that you go right along with it, crazy dialog and situations and all.

Yeah..I saw the MANITOU back in the 70's. That's the crazy a$$ one with the girl giving birth to a deformed Indian medicine man...from her back!!! :bouncegiggle: I recall the cheezy laser kinda effects at the finale too! Fun movie!!! :thumbup: Speaking of cheezy William Girdler movies-have you ever seen ASYLUM of SATAN? That movie makes absoulutly NO sense at all!!! What's with the hoode d figures with hardboiled eggs? And who's the creppy ghoul? And Why is the nurse a cross-dresser? Real looney stuff!
Asylum of Satan!!!! [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZhXAyOEoXo Yikes!
[youtube=425,350] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIKU9hzRq6k Lotsa screaming in this trailer! The Manitou!
I saw ASSYLUM OF SATAN and it was good 70's low budget madness. Can't believe I have yet to see ABBY and MANITOU. Thanks RCMERCHANT. Wonder if Netflix is carrying them?
I think they have manitou but not abby.
manitou and abby are FAR superior to asylum so if you liked that no where to go but up.
I gave manitou 5 stars at netflix. same name lester1/2jr
Been thinking of taking one last plunge into the world of Netflix. Thanks Lester1/2jr.
scott- I've had it since about march. I think my favorite of all i've seen has to be "Viva Knieval". I can't really say why, it just has a crazy energy to it
:bouncegiggle: ok Lester1/2jr, but I think I'll buy it for $1 next time I see it on the shelve. :thumbup:
