Quoted from cait001:

The center house seems to give it a bit of a Medieval Madness feel (with the 2 entrances to bash into), I wonder if that's actually how the mech works though.
Interesting they put a VUK that launches the ball laterally across the mid-playfield.

did i miss leaked photos or what

I love horror but I'm not 55+ so this looks terrible to me.

Looks like bm66 and munsters meets elvira for the animations.

No amount of boobs is going to save this one.

For What this game is, how many mechs and features it has. This game is bad for pinball if it succeeds.

The price point for what you get is an absolute joke. Its a $5500 pin Period.

This game needs to be a huge failure at this price point or else future titles from stern and even other companies are going to be more of the same.

So i came across this video randomly on youtube. And I think watching through this sums up pretty well why people are upset about this Pin. The price tag and the fact that it has maybe not even half as many features as scared Stiff had.

Quoted from RobertWinter:

You're kidding, right?
over 23 years old (SS).

----Yep that's part of my point. ^^^^

Not even half as many features as Scared Stiff? Let's do a quick comparison.
Both have two flippers.

---SS has flipper toppers included

Both have upper rollover lanes

---Yeah
Both have pop bumpers

-----SS pop bumpers are mechanically interactive

Both have two ramps (I'll give you that SS has more *iinteresting* ramps, but they're still just ramps)

-------Cmon now are you serious????? Still just ramps.lol
That's the understatement of the century

SS has the spider hole with a VUK to the ramp, EHOH has a multi-stage crypt with a separate VUK
SS has 3 Leapers, EHOH has 4 Gargoyles
SS has the Spider Wheel, EHOH has the Hand of Fate

-------Spider wheel is a mech. Can't be compared to LCD animations

SS has the Stiff in the Coffin, EHOH has Junk in the Trunk - both kick out balls
SS has a bash crate that also locks balls, EHOH has a full size mansion with drop target, lifting ramp, interior diverter, rotating turret, interior and exterior lighting, etc.

-------SS what's in the crate is lit up and a locking ball bash toy. And also the stiff in the coffin is sculpted and a much cooler mech then the plain jaine junk in the trunk mech on EHOH.

Sorry couldn't figure out to change the color of my responses. So they are just ------- in front of them.

Maybe I was a bit exaggerated when I said half the features. But SS just has a way more "interesting" looking playfield with maybe the coolest looking ramp in pinball. The art is better. Theres triple the elvira on the PF in much more "interesting" poses.

And at the end of the day, for the price this pin is commanding. There should be no doubt. When compared to a pin of the same theme from 23 years ago, EHOH should be hands down and by far and away the better pin. But its sadly just not.

Quoted from thewool:Wow that trailer... SS is a stone cold classic. The theme and integration are off the scale!

Makes me wonder. For such a "Premium" Pin. Why didnt they film a promo for this pin?
