I sure hope the game isn’t a myth. I missed out on a Scared Stiff recently and have since been holding off on a new game in hopes that Elvira 3 comes out.

#828 4 years ago

I'm hoping the call outs will be fun with an "adult" option. After all, it's Elvira!

#857 4 years ago

EHOH. This place loves their acronyms. I’m glad I held off on a couple of purchases. This will probably be my first NIB pin. Stern, don’t screw this one up!

#862 4 years ago

Scared Stiff was a great Elvira title. Had that sexual innuendo, which is Elvira's thing. Would have loved to see it named something similar to her movie "Elvira's Haunted Hills".

Quoted from ufotofu:

House of Horrors is actually a great title, I'm surprised. Hot take- this game will be like Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle , except good.

#884 4 years ago

I like E3. Short and easy. Or remove the “O”, so EHH (which isn’t so great either).

#950 4 years ago

Images taken off...

#1265 4 years ago

Based on the picture it doesn’t look like the house has similar functionality as the one in Medieval Madness. But since we’re speculating, there could be the possibility of one of ramps lifting up to reveal something to bash like Munsters or Walking Dead. I’m hoping for a bunch of campy call-outs (with an adult version as an option), lots of videos of Elvira and movies she’s panned.

As others have said, there isn’t a lot of obvious things going on in the play field. It looks almost like a Pro model compared to other pins.

#1398 4 years ago
Quoted from HighProtein:

Says Targets open trunk....[quoted image]

Looks like three targets in front of the trunk so maybe no opening for balls coming from he VUK on the right. It seems unlikely but could it possibly launch balls through the air to land in the trunk from above, like Houdini?

#1546 4 years ago

I see posts complaining about the font used for EHOH (yes, I’m using this acronym). But it is the same or similar font that Elvira has been using for her website Elvira.com, so I believe Stern is being true to rhe Elvira brand.

#1648 4 years ago

As with all Elvira related things, sex sells. Hoping that this will have a lot of clips of Elvira and the many movies she has shown. Such a wealth of material to draw on from all those campy old movies! I know that the game needs to play well but with the way modern pins are evolving I think the potential entertainment factor from Elvira's videos, sound, call-outs, etc. could make this fun on another level.

I think it would have been more appropriate to make an Elvira's Haunted Theater, based on her show.

#1724 4 years ago

Which models are the leaked photos of?

#1733 4 years ago
Quoted from Jackalwere:

I was pretty close on item 2 (I thought it moved to the side instead of spinning) and item 3 (I speculated combination bash toy/lock), as well as item 5 (which others had pointed out as well).
I will probably get a Premium sometime next year after playing it. Playfield issues should be handled by then...

I’m pleasantly surprised that the VUK shooting the ball into the trunk on the left is actually real.

#1881 4 years ago
Quoted from j_m_:

the pro, erm… I mean [premium] cabinet artwork reminded me of the title screen from 'zombies ate my neighbors' on the snes
[quoted image]
[quoted image]

That’s why it looked familiar! I think I still have that game.

#2152 4 years ago

Heard from a distributor that the SLE are sold out.

#2322 4 years ago
Quoted from Durzel:

Did they also go back in time to film her too when she was actually doing Elvira seriously?

I too think it would be great to have some of Elvira’s older original footage but it might not be such a good idea to have both the young and older Elvira together to be scrutinize. Who knows what they have done but I’m sure it must but up to Cassandra’s standards.

#2644 4 years ago

Do we just go to Dead Flip’s YouTube channel to see the reveal?

#2654 4 years ago

So far I’m not a fan of the cartoony inner tubes on the lcd when hitting the bumpers. Also the floating dead head characters look kind of cheap. I’m at the apple store viewing this so sound is not good at all.

#2921 4 years ago

I would love the new EHOH but I’m going to be patient and wait to see how it shapes up. I’m not concerned that I’ll miss out on a LE or SLE, the Premiums will still be available for the next couple of years. And of course the used market will bear some deals. In the meantime, I’m picking up a nice Scared Stiff this weekend.

#3070 4 years ago

I'm willing to wait it out and get a Premium. It would be great to try it on location, but at their price point, will there be many locations that will have it?

That's what I was hoping for!

It wasn't mentioned on the video if the design team used as a reference the house briefly shown in the intro of Elvira's Movie Macabre series. Looks pretty similar. Sorry for the blurry pic - screen grab off of YouTube.
