Played at Pinball Republic, Croydon, London.

Probably the best Zaccaria I’ve played on site. Not sure why. There’s some weird alchemy about the artwork, music and range of shots (especially achieving the orange special) that makes it more than the sum of its parts whereas normally Zaccaria’s are less than the sum of their parts. Sadly, the one at Pinball Republic wasn’t in great shape - a large plastic was loose, and there seemed to be something wrong with the targets (maybe they were supposed to be like that, but they seemed to be in plastic casings).

Pretty fun to shoot.

One of the rarest games I ever owned to date in the past quarter century+ collecting pinball machines.
I purchased this machine while stationed overseas in Europe in the 1990s.
There seems to be some sort of misconception by some that less than 10 were built, but I have no idea where the idea came from in the first place. Based on my Zaccaria production data, somewhere less than hundred, but never confirmed to be 60, including original sample prototypes.
As a pinball art collector, this game really stood out with its neon colors and animated illumination backglass ("Tootsie Roll Mr. Owl"), which is by far its most remarkable feature.
Cabinet is actually a fairly good standout with "Ms. Nosferatu face" on the side.
Good lighting for the plastics on this machine, and definitely the backglass.
The game plays like a cross of Haunted House (it almost pays homage to this classic machine) and Strange Science (inverted ramps) at the same time.
Upper drop targets get blasted by the pop bumpers, and have a short life span unless reinforced, and is complete random luck.
Ramps are not very durable and a little awkward.
Ruleset was never finished, sounds/music are incomplete, or at least they seemed incomplete to me.
Ultimately, I sold it to make room for other machines.
A "must have" predominantly if you are a Zaccaria collector.
If you do find one for sale, you will only have one chance, so don't kick yourself later.

I love the looks and sounds to this game. Wish the rules would have been finished. You can tell there are things that were ment to do something else, but didn't have the time put into them, since it's basically the last zaccaria made. If I had the ability to finish the code I would. But looks like it will be to time consuming for me to make it happen.

Gorgeous pin in a creepy way. Original PF design. Cool ramps. I love most Zaccaria Generation 2!

Excellent theme and nice due to its rarity, but the gameply lets it down.

At one point it lays a melody from a Dario Argento horror! can't put my finger on from which film. Not much depth but challenging and worth playing.
