Release of "Abby" on DVD
Sign Now
Dear MGM
We, the undersigned, ask you to release the 1974 movie "Abby" on dvd.
Abby is the story of a black woman (Carol Speed) who is possessed by an African demon.
Warner Bros. took legal action against the film, because it was too similar to "The Exorcist" and had it pulled from theaters after a short two week run. In 1978 WB lost their lawsuit, but Abby was never re-issued again.
Fans of this movie had to rely on blurry expensive bootlegs to see this gem.
Originally released by AIP it's now in the hands of MGM who controls AIP's catalogue.
We'd love to see this movie released on dvd.
We implore you to consider our plea.

It was great to know that there was a blaxploitation version of the exorcist. I'm unable to find my VHS of this movie and would love to add this to my DVD collection.
