One of the most legendary and notorious VHS releases of the video store era, Bret McCormicks's Super 8 gorefest The Abomination from 1986 graces the Whammy! screen in all it's 1.33:1 glory!

‍

Deep in the heart of rural Texas, a TV evangelist exorcises a tumor from the body of a loyal worshipper, who soon coughs up the growth. Unknown to her, the cancer is actually a carnivorous life form that slithers its way into her son Cody while he sleeps, growing inside him until he is completely under its control. Now Cody must feed the beast fresh victims to keep them both alive, as the monster grows out larger and larger, threatening to feast on everyone in its path.
