NOoooooo not another fan layout!! Hope it shoots better than Munsters.
Was never going to live up to the hype , but from a PF design/imagination perspective its the weakest of the 3. Let's see...

Quoted from cooked71:You can criticize Munsters for a number of things, but the way it shoots is not one of them.
Felt very lame to me but I'm not a fan of open fan layouts.
Cool video! I think that right to left VUK theory is a real stretch, but I hope it's right!
The trunk opening to take the ball from the ramp seems more realistic. But then if its just a VUK the PF is going to take some hammer where the ball lands.
Looking forward to learning more!
Quoted from screaminr:Nothing wrong with a fan layout if you don't already have one
I have lotr which is a fan layout, but theres more to the design than just that. As suggested maybe there are some sweet features here which you cant see from these pics. Needs as official release vid with shots, music and the Queen herself!
Quoted from iceman44:The biggest Pinball podcaster baby on the planet just launched a nice "pinside babies" edition for whining about the fact that Elvira is a "fan layout".
Gotta agree with Kman on that point, even though Kman whines and cries about shit non stop if it doesn't go his way. i.e. Wonka, insults hurled his way etc. LOL
Good entertainment, love the NSFW whiner editions
Never heard of him...
Quoted from PinMonk:3lvira's winning.
I hope not, that's horrible to type. HOH FTW! 
Quoted from PinMonk:I can manage Maiden. I'll manage 3lvira.
Crack on then

I think it looks cool, I'm just not sure of the main concept...
so every room is haunted, and the haunting takes the form of a movie being played - have I got that right? Or do you watch a movie and the deadheads are the things doing the haunting?
Quoted from T7:Each room in the house is haunted by a Movie Monster that Elvira made fun of on her show. They are haunting her house because she ridiculed them. You are helpling Elvira clear the ghouls/rooms 1 at a time (each Haunt mode). As you are clearing that Movie Monster, you are watching progressing scenes from that monsters movie (sort of a summary of the movie). If you beat the mode, you see the monster get destroyed - in the stream you could see this when they beat the Werewolf of Washington mode. Within the game, this equates to the monster being sent back into their movie. I also read that after you reach some level (probably a Wizard mode), they show you a recap of the Movie you created -> which is probably the monsters you faced in the sequence you battled them.
The Dead Heads are more of a separate story line versus the Haunt modes. There are 12 different dead heads, and I'm sure there are rewards for defeating them. Maybe awards at different counts, and probably a wizard mode for defeating all 12 in a game (a complete guess).
Thanks for the detailed answer! That makes a lot more sense and cohesive... I guess the clearing the movie monster wasn't that clear from the gameplay,. but maybe they will flesh this out more in the code.
p.s. am surprised at how fit Elvira is for her age!!
Slightly off-topic but there are some HQ 32 Khz wav callouts from SS on this page, Elvira sounds amazing as does the guy:

Shows you that all of these original recordings are sitting in a vault somewhere. Would love to hear a remastered version of the game sounds, with the quality of music from the trailer along with HQ callouts. Now that I would pay money for...
