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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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

That’s why it looked familiar! I think I still have that game.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Quoted from T7:New Elvira Code .84...
