Quoted from jgentry:

I about pissed my pants laughing after I saw this statement from an owner of Barb Wire.

Quoted from Chitownpinball:

Another tired, boring, outdated theme for the gross old men. Pass so hard.

well, you make it sound like elvira owners are going to whack off over the pics and footage or something. Its just cheesy fun, what's the big deal? I don't think it makes anyone old or gross if they dig an elvira theme at all. She's really not "sexy" to look at anyways. Maybe in 1980 when the alternative was the sears bra section.

#74 7 years ago

She's a good Elvira How old are you? Based on the fact you mentioned her age, I'm guessing older than 29 hehe

#75 7 years ago
Quoted from Chitownpinball:

Dont own it, only borrowing.
Plus, Im talking about NEW games. There is no need for a new elvira pin. Shes SO outdated and irrelevant for any one iin the 10-30 realm, which is the common age for arcades and barcades, no? I can agree shes pretty attractive for a 65 year old woman, but that doesnt mean i think a pin should be made with her in it. Not at all. Why not just do golden girls.

Why shouldn't an Elvira pin be made? Because you don't like it? . I'm kinda neutral on it but clearly judging from this thread the theme has support; why not let those who want to enjoy it? Other themes will appeal to a younger audience although given the average age of the buyers, it's just will skew older no?

Another thing to consider is that if the 10-30 market WAS in charge we'd be getting Justin Bieber pins! Taylor Swift if we are LUCKY! So let's not knock Elvira too hard hehe

What is that exactly?

Quoted from spfxted:

Confirmed! Elvira and the Monster Entourage (EATME)

Ha!

What was that art you posted earlier?

#140 7 years ago
Quoted from labnip:

here's pinball backglass art that came out in just recent years, that was a game design by the gentleman who will be speaking with Elvira on a panel in a few months. Wonder if there will be any similarities in design & art ?
Wonder if i should know better?

I actually would have preferred that art to be a little more revealing (say the melons are at the hips leaving the bikini top exposed). It just felt like if you are going to make that many boob puns, show a bit of boob.

Quoted from JeffF:

I happened upon the link below a few years ago and favorited it... (NSFW warning!)
[Link removed]
I visit it every once in a while.

cool, thanks. I'm not a huge fan of the Elvira get up but I like her pics au naturel

#162 7 years ago

this thread reminds me that I have some Elvira related paintings (I collect artwork).

She put out this line of videos for thriller video

and I have some of the original paintings. The artist got to meet Cassandra back in the day. Sadly he passed on but his family was kind enough to sell me some of the art.

hahaha that movie was the best

#195 7 years ago

i think he means the layered, sorta shadow box or pop-up book style of SS with Elvira on the front and the spider web behind on what I presume is a separate sheet.

Not truly 3d, but layered, if you will, for a bit of a 3d effect.

#200 7 years ago
Quoted from arcademojo:

Someone needs to mow the lawn.

Hey it was the 80s! Lawnmowers hadn't been invented yet

She really looks quite good in those pics, most of the times when you see pics that old they don't hold up because it's so obvious they are dated, but she looks good anyways and so much better than in her Elvira costume IMO

Quoted from 30FathomDave:

A couple of other Pinsiders and I chatted with Cassandra Peterson a few weeks ago (April 14th) at Monsterpalooza. We asked about the game, and here’s what she told us:

still looks good at 66!

^ ha! I have some of the original paintings used for those Elvira VHS covers. Greg Martin was the artist. I don't own the cyclops one.

Unfortunately he's no longer alive, but he did tell me that he got to meet Elvira/Cassandra back in the day.
