You could make a really cool machine based on the theme. 7 Words seven ball multiball with a TV set on the playfield playing clips on a loop. “Weather forecast tonight: Dark,” when the ball drains. I also see an LCD screen incorporated into the gameplay playing a couple lines from classic bits. You could even have a demented looking Thomas the Train move along a short track ala Cactus Canyon.
If you decide to build it PM me, I would love to help contribute.
