Midnight Mass

Episode 106: Abby

April 16, 2025 • Peaches Christ & Michael Varrati • Season 5 • Episode 106

The story of a woman possessed! This week, Peaches and Michael are raising some hell on behalf of 1974’s ABBY! In addition to discussing how this burgeoning cult classic was almost lost due to studio suppression, our hosts delve into how it fundamentally breaks the Judeo-Christian mold of exorcism cinema. Joining the conversation is acclaimed writer and host Sharai Bohannon, who has made it her mission to make sure this film and its heroine finally get their day in the sun. Then, HORROR MOVIE SURVIVAL GUIDE’s Teri Gamble stops by to lay down the law on why ABBY is so much more than a knock-off of THE EXORCIST! From Carol Speed to bar room rituals, this episode has it all!
