Abominable is a 2006 Sci Fi Horror Channel original movie, directed and written by Ryan Schifrin. The film stars Matt McCoy, Jeffrey Combs, and Haley Joel. The film features the cryptid Bigfoot as the main antagonist. It premiered on April 10, 2006 in New York City. The music is scored by Lalo Schifrin, which patterned on Les Baxter's score to The Beast Within.
The film begins with a brutal scene where a farmer named Billy Hoss and his wife Ethel begin to hear noises. They and their dog Sparky go outside to investigate where they find a horse laying dead on the ground and violently ripped open. Sparky smells something and runs into the dark. Billy tries to call him back but the dog is attacked (off-screen), causing Billy and Ethel to run back in the house where they see a mysterious giant walking around their house. Once the creature is gone, they come out again only to find large footprints on the ground.
