Quoted from docquest:I decided to add a some bling to my Elvira House of Horrors apron. It now continuously plays all 26 trailers from the 2010 Elvira Movie Macabre season. These are the 26 movies that are used for the game assets. The OLED display looks much better in person than it does in the videos. The scanlines in the video arent there when you see it live.
Would people be interested in this mod?I tried to stick with the design of the orignal plastic but with a live OLED display in place of the static artwork.
Original plastics:

Very awesome! How can we fit this into the LEs?
Quoted from ralphwiggum:Yep... Changing a layer or two isn't that big of a deal, it only takes me about 20 minutes to draw the layer and then render the 3D effects for it. If you are looking for something a little customized, just let me know in a PM.
Here is a custom one I did for a Pinsider that has a signature card he wants to put on top of the Lenticular. The Red Box is .25" bigger than his signature card. He is basically using the red box as a frame for his signature card. I moved the eyeball over and moved the Spider and Web as well.

I can't wait to add this to my LE! I will send photos - this will be awesome!

Quoted from docquest:Yes I was thinking the red circles in the artwork would be changed to be purple to match the LE cabinet art. I'm assuming LE owners would only want a display on the left side of the apron playing all 26 trailers since the right side has the signature plastic.
Does the SE have the same apron plastics as the LE?
I believe the apron plastics are the same - but I like the LE apron plastic - any way to keep that and add the screen rather than purple circles?
Elvira (resized).JPGQuoted from docquest:I want the screen to be somewhat centered in the plastic and I like the border image to be the film strip frame which doesn't leave a lot of extra room for art like the the big Elvira illustration the LE left apron. That why I thought the eyeball about the film strip and purple background circles would still look good for the LE. The signature card on the right also has the eyeball and purple circles. I could replace the text about "return the b-movie phantoms back to film" with just "Limited Edition" fro the LE version? I'm open to suggestions as to what people would prefer.
I personally would like Elvira cartoon head rather than the eyeball for the LE - just show less of her body to leave room for the video? I like the return to the b movie text rather than the Limited Edition text as that is what the video is showing. Regardless - very cool concept!
Quoted from jfh:Wow. Did you look at fitting the mod where the instruction card goes instead?
The Instruction card location on the LE/Signature Editions would be absolute ideal but that would probably mean cutting into the metal apron as I would assume the screen is too thick? That would certainly allow for a bigger screen.

YouBentMyWookie apron cards to help bling out my Elvira. Added a piece of her couch from her book as well.

I've got a set of brand new Elvira HOH Stern Art Blades. Purchased for a Premium but ended up buying a LE rather than wait forever for a NIB. I know these are sold out on Stern's site for $79.99 but I think are still available from other companies:
https://shop.sternpinball.com/collections/accessories/products/elvira-inside-art-blades
Just trying to recoup some cost. Let me know your offer. Thanks!

Quoted from Anubis330:Where did you get those art blades??
I have a official Stern set (never used) but ended up getting a LE so no longer needed. I will sell for $55 plus shipping. Message me if interested.

I have only blocked a few people on Pinside - this guy is one of them
Quoted from RikeIsland:Does anyone have the Medisinyl mods and the Crate Mod for Elvira? I was just concerned that it would look over crowded on the left side.
Must have mods! Must Have!

Quoted from RikeIsland:I already have both but was just concerned about it looking cluttered. I have to wait until November before I can see for myself.
It looks great. I have all the mods in mine- even the breast pop bumpers. I will post a pic later.
Quoted from Mageek:That QR reader is a bloody eye sore on any game , it sure does ruin the look of a $25K Pinball Machine. If it is of any value I would put it on the coin door , Someone made a mod to put it where the bill reader goes.
This is what I have done to all my games - coin door.

Purchased this car off Amazon:
Department 56 Elvira Mistress of The Dark Village Accessories Macabre Mobile Figurine, 2.1 Inch, Multicolor:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QLCYKWW
Added it to the shooter lane. Fits perfectly and looks great in my opinion.

Quoted from FlopTube:I did. Box was in good condition but unfortunately small scratch under shooter rod assembly.

Get the Backalley Creations magnetic blood that goes right under there. It looks awesome and will cover that right up.

Quoted from docquest:For those that want to add my apron trailer video screen mod, I'll be making a version with art that matches the new black and white with red sparkle accent style. I'll post some pics of the new style when it's done.
However as seen in the pic below, Stern is using the latest metal apron style with a smaller cutout for the Insider Connected scanner on the right side. So I'll just be making the left side single screen version for the Blood Red Kiss Edition.
If interested PM me so I can get an idea of how many to prepare.

What about making it in the large opening for the instruction card for the Blood Edition?
Quoted from docquest:On the right side, that's where the Elvira signature card goes so I'm assuming most people wouldn't want to remove that.
If someone really wanted a dual screen setup than the easiest way to implement that would be to replace the current metal apron with the older metal apron that has been used on premiums and LE games prior to Insider Connected. Pinball Life has some https://www.pinballlife.com/stern-bottom-archapron-with-triangular-cutouts-metal.html
You would then also need to reproduce the new black and white apron decal that fits the old apron style and also redo the art on it to remove the IC instructions have the proper triangular cutout for the right side.
Not sure how many would want to go through all that trouble to add the dual screens vs just using the single screen version.

I'm talking about one tv screen on the left side where the instruction card is.

I’ve done the update online and it just says game code update complete on the lcd but never restarts. I shut it off on my own after many minutes and it just reloads the new code and goes through the whole process again. I’m in a vicious circle.

How many vertebrae do you need? 8?
Quoted from Capn12:Man, the certificate being taped to that backglass drives me crazy. It took a good 20 minutes to get the tape marks off of ours, thanks to my wife dealing with it.
When will STERN start using painters tape for this? It makes NO SENSE!
Quoted from Hayfarmer:Easy to clean with some glass cleaner, 30 seconds .
That has not been the case with all mine.
