My local haunt has an LE. Amazing game. Have been playing a good 10 to 15 games a day on it. Would love to find some super detailed instructions though on everything you can go for. That little card on the front is of course definitely missing stuff. Does anyone know where I can find them for this game?

Cliffy is the best! I ended up doctoring up a Star Wars protector that I had sitting around. Glad to hear that he's back up and running after having to deal with the wildfires.

Can someone tell me why the shooter Lane varies from machine to machine? Why isn't that like the most standard thing ever on a pinball machine?

Thanks for sharing that. We are hoping we can get an IMDN one to fit while we wait.

Not sure why all the shooter lanes in the games are different. I have noticed the RHS cliffy has been the same since around SW (metal playfield side rails).

8 Days between posts in the offical thread for the most recent Stern release. Surprising.

I think many people are beginning to post on the EHoH 'owners club' thread. It appears as machines are being received daily, this is taking place.

Well, that makes more sense. 8 days between any posts at all seemed weird for a brand new release...

We’re all over at the owners thread. I’ve skipped by this thread a dozen times now. Only checking it because I’m bored waiting on the turkey.

V0.90.0 - Feb. 6, 2020
======================

- Allow HAND OF FATE SPIN to run from the LEFT OUTLANE switch (when lit)
while all BALL SAVERS are active.
- BALL SAVE from HAND OF FATE is eaten if BALL SAVE is awarded when the
wheel is activated.
- The LEFT OUTLANE lamp was remaining ON after the HAND OF FATE wheel was
started (it should be turned OFF once the wheel comes up). This has
been corrected.
- When starting GAPPA ANGRY a second time, the FREAK FRYER feature will
not be started unless the player completes at least 1 level (i.e. locks
at least 1 ball).
- Points are now awarded for DIRECTOR'S CUT and the mode stops immediately.
- Locking a ball in the GARAGE with balls already locked would not wait for
the BALL LOCKED effect to finish before trying to kick. This has been
corrected.
- Added a new mode for collecting all of the awards on the HAND OF FATE
wheel: MANOS WHEEL
- Runs until the RIGHT TARGET BANK is hit one time, or the JACKPOT is
collected. (This feature can run from ball to ball as long as none
of the right 3-bank targets are hit).
- A mini-wheel with MANOS is displayed in the lower right portion of the
display. This wheel always spins.
- The following point awards are available:
250K, 500K, 750K, 1M, 2M, 5M
- Hitting any target on the RIGHT TARGET BANK awards the points being
pointed to on the wheel.
- The points that are awarded from the wheel are added to a JACKPOT
that is lit after the first hit on the targets. The JACKPOT can be
collected on the LEFT OUTLANE (SPIN).
- Removed a color effect that turned player scores black when there was no
match.
- Rework GAPPA ANGRY mode:
- New display effects, sound effects, light shows.
- Single ball mode.
- Build JACKPOT throughout.
- Stage 1: make the HOUSE RAMP, then lock a ball in the HOUSE LOCK.
- Stage 2: make the LEFT and RIGHT ramps, then lock a ball in the
GARAGE.
- Stage 3: make the LEFT LOOP, the HOUSE RAMP, and the RIGHT LOOP,
then lock a ball in the CRYPT.
- Stage 4: make the LEFT RAMP, the HOUSE RAMP, the RIGHT RAMP, and
the CRYPT, then lock a ball in the TRUNK.
- Stage 5: make the LEFT LOOP, the LEFT RAMP, the HOUSE RAMP, the
RIGHT RAMP, and the RIGHT LOOP, then lock a ball in the GARAGE.
- Stage 6: lock a ball in the CELLAR.

that was locked in the HOUSE LOCK.
- If draining after stage 2, DANCE FEVER is started with the 2 balls
that were locked in the HOUSE LOCK and the GARAGE.
- If draining after stage 3, MAKE-OUT MAYHEM is started with the 3
balls that were locked in the HOUSE LOCK, the GARAGE, and the CRYPT.
- If draining after stage 4, SCREAM TEST is started with the 4 balls
that were locked in the HOUSE LOCK, the GARAGE, the CRYPT, and the
TRUNK.
- If draining after stage 5, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE is started with the 5
balls that were locked in the HOUSE LOCK, the GARAGE, the CRYPT, the
TRUNK, and the GARAGE.
- Completing all stages (6) starts GAPPA ANGRY MULTIBALL (6 balls).

- Added new mode: DANCE FEVER

- One shot (random) scores multiplied JACKPOT value from GAPPA
ANGRY!
- Other 3 shots multiply the multiplier by 2.

The button was showing green (instead of white) when initials could be

announce and award display effects when initials could not be entered.
- UN HAPPY HOUR start was not displaying the points for starting the mode
(shown as 00 sometimes). This has been corrected.

- Kill start display effects when an award for a mode/multiball is given.
- Rework GARAGE multiball start lamp effects. Mask most lamps at start of
GARAGE multiballs so JACKPOT lights are visible.
- Remove DIRECTOR'S CUT display/choreography. This display was breaking
up the HAUNT final shot/Elvira outro and didn't flow well.
- Lowered FREAK FRYER increment number of switch hits from 50 to 25 (per
level), which should make getting to GAPPA ANGRY! slightly easier.

- Fixed up ADD-A-ZOMBIE multiball super jackpot video clips and award

mode.

V0.91.0 - Feb. 11, 2020
=======================

- Added more blinking lights to the attract mode.
- Removed vulgar swearing from the deadhead speech. These will be added
back in the next release with a setting to disable/bleep them out.
- Lowered the priority for POOL PARTY so the background would not be higher
than most of the rest of the non-multiball game features.
- Added color to the TOP LANES alligator text (yellow, to match the color
of the TOP LANES inserts).
- Added additional inner tube colors (yellow/green/lime, red/green/orange)
to the alligator animation for completing the TOP LANES.
- Reworked the display effect (alligator animation) for completing the
TOP LANES such that it could run in parallel with other foreground
effects.
- Disabled the Haunt-O-Meter for the SANTA CLAUS haunt due to it causing
the game to reset. The Haunt-O-Meter will be re-enabled in a future
release once the fix for it is tested some more.
- Fixed an issue with initializing the "SCREAM" shot for scream test.
Occasionally, the shot that was picked would not be one of the shots that
was available. When this happened and the 4 jackpot shots were collected,
none of the jackpot shots would re-light. This has been corrected.
- The FREAK FRYER light for POOL PARTY, DANCE FEVER, MAKE-OUT MAYHEM,
SCREAM TEST, and RUN FOR YOUR LIFE now blinks when the mode is running.
- Reworked the GAPPA ANGRY start lamp effect to only show the shots and
levels that remain (i.e. if the mode is started a second time with saved
progress, the levels that had already been achieved will not be shown
in the lamp effect).
- The TRUNK, the HOUSE RAMP DIVERTER, and the CRYPT are now open during
MAKE-OUT MAYHEM.
- Reworked the ball locking logic for GAPPA ANGRY. The mode now keeps
track of the physical locks and does its best to not unlock balls that
were not physically locked during the mode.
- Tilting during GAPPA ANGRY with balls locked (who would do this?!) now
only unlocks the balls that were physically locked during the mode, as
opposed to releasing all of the locked balls from all of the devices.
(For example, if there were already two balls locked in the garage at
the start of GAPPA ANGRY and the player made it past the second stage,
do not release a ball from the garage lock when tilted.)
- Replaced the BACK DOOR skill shot speech.
- Fixed an issue with the third HAND OF FATE wheel where the awards
would not be marked correctly for removal from the wheel when they
were selected.

Haha I was just looking at that exact page!

Where’s the Topper ?

Still not ready for prime time. The Black Knight's one must be first out.

Only a couple of teaser pics so far.

Does anyone else try to avoid getting into the basement or backdoor whatever its called in this game? If the ball is coming from underneath the ramp its going stdm probably 80% or more of the time for me unless I want to use up my tilt warnings and even then it gets sketchy. I've only ever played on location but it greatly subtracts from my enjoyment of the game

Sounds unlevel

Should go to the right flipper. Something is out of wack on that game.

It goes to the right flipper maybe 5% of the time.Thanks for the insight, I knew something couldn't be right. The game does have a few other quirks I've noticed but I can usually work around those.

mine usually goes to the right flipper. Don’t let poor kept games ruin your opinion

i like how Elvira got the front center "Queen" spot amongst all these horror legends.

I'm amazed at how movies like Killer Klowns and Critters managed to have such a lasting cultural impact. I wonder if it relates to their unmistakable imagery being pervasive in VHS rental stores in the 90s?

Anyways, rock on

Indeed!

Does anybody know what song plays during House Party mode?

"Shout"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shout_(Isley_Brothers_song)

I’m replacing the song in my game with the Joan Jett version

Thank you!

Thank you!

How do I reach Santa Claus conquers the Martians mode?

You have to get a key from the trunk to unlock the mode. Cant remember which window but it's on here somewhere. After the latest code update you actually need two keys and to play the other special mode first.

The other special mode being the “giant Gila monster”.

What’s the current situation with the skill shot? I replaced my ball guides but I feel like now I am NEVER getting the award, even when I seem to get the ball in there .. what gives? The game seems to recognize when there’s a ball back there, because it will fire it out from the cellar when necessary. Is it not workign in .93, or did I accidentally screw up an opto or something ?

Put the game in switch edges test and drop a ball through the back door to make sure the correct switches are registering. We had a discussion in the owner's thread and found a couple connections reversed.

sounds naughty

....but fun!

Thank you for telling me!

Hooray for santee clause, yay yay for santee claus is one of my favorite sound bytes in the game. Makes me smile every time. So dumb.

Have anybody recognized that DUN DUN DUUUUUN (only DUUUUUN) plays when player starts deadhead mode? It zooms to entrance of crypt, then skull turns into deadhead, and DUUUUUN plays. I think DUUUUUUN also plays when you score Super Jackpot in Wild Women MB.
In which other moment DUUUUUUN plays besides in deadhead intro?

This is the only time I’ve seen it. Is it used in Gappa Angry?

Maybe?

BTW, how do I start Gappa Angry or other freak fryer modes Make out mayhem, Pool Party, Scream test, Run for your life and Dance fever?

I don't think the other modes are coded yet, but Gappa Angry is started after you've hit a number of switches in the game to go all the way up the Freak Fryer. It should happen after you've started several multiballs. I only get it every once in a while in a REALLY good game

Navigate the first stage of gappa and drain. You get pool party. Drain after the 2nd stage,dance party. That’s the best I’ve done. Going back for more.

Thank you!

Thank you!

What! How have I missed this. I must have always gotten to Gappa on my 3rd ball

How many deadheads are in game? I know there are Aunt Surly, Uncle Bolt Head, Sir Normus Cranium and SGT-Jar head. Is there any else deadhead?

Also, does anybody know which video location for 0.92 code in Pinball Browser is video where one of them floats and talks to player? There are four thousand videos, I looked about 250, without finding video where deadhead floats

I believe there are at least 5 - there's a "super dead head" or something like that, which is not yet programmed. I am not sure if anyone found the video yet

If super dead head is not in code yet, where you heard about super dead head?

Yeah, there are four thousand videos in firmware
