🖼️ Design & Features: Vibrant magenta background with stark B&W imagery. Central photo montage features a possessed Abby and other main characters, outlined dramatically. Highly stylised fonts and dramatic taglines typical of 1970s exploitation marketing. Known as the "Black Exorcist," Abby was quickly pulled from theatres after a copyright lawsuit from Warner Bros. due to similarities with The Exorcist — contributing to its cult status and rarity.


Collectors’ Note: This title is highly collectible within both horror and Blaxploitation genres. Its legal history and limited availability of original promotional material (especially international variants like Australian daybills) contribute to its strong aftermarket performance.
