I don't know about the rest of you but I am seriously pissed. Elvira has had 1 price hike and most likely see another. The LE owners must feel robbed with the 40th version coming out. Not to mention all of us who have been waiting now are pushed back a year instead of it being made now instead. They think they are doing dealers a favor for christmas by coming out with the 40th while screwing the customers who have already put money down. Ok, who here wants to play House of Horrors right before Christmas 2022 and not before Halloween? Anyone.. anyone? Lousy marketing right there. I understand there is a backlog but they didnt need to cut in line from waiting customers for profit and introduce yet another version. Shame on you Stern.

She's been retired I believe. The replacement they found I don't think is as famous.

Don't forget the oversized dagger plunger in the way. That alone made it a no to me. I have a small gameroom and already rub up against everything else. That would really hurt,not to mention the height its at!

Between that and the not so good economic outlook for the near future we may see many people bail from the list when it comes time to pay up. I'm starting to feel the crunch myself but still hanging in there.

So everyone with a home game can pitch that stupid Stern Connect appoll aparatus and go back to a cool place card! Deduct $50 from my order and just give me the regular apron thank you with automatic connect.

I like how all the posts are doom and gloom about another run of ehoh when Stern is still freakin making star wars from ages ago and dead pool. Come on?

I just don't see how EHOH is difficult to produce compared to Godzilla with building and bridge mech? It looks bare in comparison.

Is it me or does it seem this game comes with a lot of issues for not being very old? I have mine on order and reading the slew of tweaks and problems this game has after a couple years concerns me. Especially when the price is going up and the new ones aren't corrected? I know all game threads are about fixes but this one seems to be more than others? Whats everyones thoughts?

Where do you get the trees? Do you have a picture standing back further? Thanks

I'm really ticked as well. Why do they keep pushing this game back all the time? I don't count the 40th as production because it wasnt buklt for anyone on this thread. This game cost us more than pros being made for everyone? Its like they don't care about the premium buyers anymore after the last price hike.

Haha! I had to look this up, classic.
They are going to keep pushing them back till all the 41st anniversaries are sold, hoping some of us would give in and pay double. There are tons of them still available. Thats their problem they created, not ours.

Just rummaging through a bin of parts and you happen to have a $200 shooter rod just laying around?

Has anyone ever sued Stern for price gauging? Everyone I talked to said this is unethical. Pushing back this game in production over and over for a price increase and playing the market forcing people into a 26k version that won't sell. After this experience it has really left a bad taste in my mouth and will likely be my last purchase from them.

Since when does a game based on an older decade matter? Who are these people who snub their nose at anything that isn't from their generation and only buy newer titles? Led Zeppelin,Rush,Munsters, Halloween,Scooby Doo,and Beatles have come out the past 5 years and did fine. So are they just suppose to make Stranger Things forever, because I will tell you, there hasn't been jack movies or music bands made in 11 years worth making a pin about that would stand the test of time.

I was telling that to people over the weekend who obsessed with having a license. I've never heard of Deadpool the comic or watched the movie but it makes me laugh and is awesome. All the Williams that CGC is remaking.
I played Bond this weekend, I am a huge fan and for me it was the theme I didn't like. I'm sure it will be coded more but they barely show him in the clips,little cas ll outs and the theme over and over. If they don't put all those great theme songs in it is a dud.

I just installed the 2.5 game release yesterday. You will be pleased! I bet you will play it 3 times more than an EHOH in your home.

This is going to be my last NIB game I buy with the way prices are. I am only commiting to this because I have waited for so long. Rarely does a game play grab me like this one. Metallica is the only other I can think of.

Can you imagine if they made Elvira with UV glow on the playfield like ST? They should have atleast done it with the 40th. That blacklight is what this game needs to bring in those other movie modes.

I have seen that animated eye ball for the start button. Did that come with the LE or is it a mod? I love that thing.

So this was officially Lymon's last game correct? I'm sure that means something!

The machine in the video they are putting together 3rd from the left. Thats mine, I just know it is. Any day now.

Would you mind telling us where you got yhe trees and a photo of how they are mounted? I would like to do the same.

At this stage of the game I am hoping to get the last one ever made. I wonder if there is a way to find out?

Still waiting on mine. I could have purchased several earlier on at the Louisville show? Hopefully its worth the wait.

I finally made it after years of waiting! Love this game, right up there with medevil madness and attack from mars.
I'm having trouble with the coffin lock? The eject coil was firing a few times for no reason and when I get it in there it gives me multiball? I did the coil test and its fine, I get a message saying eject malfunction afyer a game? Is it the sensor?

The center playfield is the only thing needing light. They should have used an apron like my Bond or Metallica that has spots hidden in them. I wonder if it can be swapped out?

Does anyone have the blood plastic protectors on the inlanes mod? I am thinking of getting them but wonder if it mutes the GI on the playfield?

Just posted my Dripping mod for Elvira if anyone has a 3D printer. I used Glow in the dark filament on mine.

I was going to do this but Chuck Wurt came over and raised my left 2 legs up a bit and it solved the problem. I do not notice anything else being unbalanced or tilty either since it was a small adjustment. Drops to the flipper perfectly. Sometimes perfectly leveled is not so perfect.

I am still interested in getting this if you can ever get the original larger screens back in stock.

Imy machine just started an auto update? Did an update just drop?

I'm adding spotlights to mine,just ordered them. I will let you know, I am going to try purple bulbs to keep it lit but spooky.

I had this same problem with mine right out of the box, it is the sensor above the trunk not aligned with the bottom one. Easy fix usually. I can send you the instructions Greg bone sent me if you pm me.

I was concerned about this as well because of what they did to my Metallica. I got the red blood drips on the slings and they don't change the color. This is because they are are cut out with the center cut out. Its not a solid plate so the lighting stays the same. Highly recommend this mod. Would love to see this done for metallica in the green to replace my solid ones. Drips too!

For anyone who thinks the playfield is too dark to see like in my gameroom, here is an easy cheap solution without buying pinstadiums. The lights don't block anything and are barely noticable but make a huge difference.
Comet pinball is my go to. Buy

You should add a set of aligator clips and a matrix extender to be safe,I already had spares. Also find a 1/2" spacer with a screw and nut. I bought purple lights to give it a spooky glow, the white is fine but is cleaner looking. The second last picture is a white bulb on one side for reference. The last is my purple bulbs. What a difference for $20. I also added the purple trough light and flipper buttons from comet. The clear buttons now match the action bar.

You just mount it ti the roof of the apron underneath. I am sure those will come in handy!

The fact that they never bothered to change the left rubber sleeve so the ball flows to the flipper and is a known fix says it all. Yeah I felt as though this last release was half assed as well. I have had the glass off of this thing to tweek more than any game I have ever owned.

What am I doing wrong or what is my game doing wrong? I've owned this game about 3 months and have never seen the turret turn during a game or light up except when a game is started and reset. So it does work but never got to anything it does? Waste of mechs and money for something rarely used in my opinion. It must be when you rack over 200 million it comes into play and lights up?

I think the one thing that has stood out to me on this game that is pissing me off is there is no in or outlane acknowledgement. The light above the lane only lights up if you hit targets or something. They dont do anything if the ball goes down any of the lanes when they are not lit. This is boring! No fun lane changing or completing all 4 or anything. I can't believe this game was left like this. Thats what I love most in games like Bond and Metallica. Seriously this is a flaw.

Why are you here? Get lost Troll!

Got it new in box 5 months ago. Waited 2 years for it. Thanks for reminding me to add it to my collection.

Am I crazy? I just blew my game up with 722m and didn't get an extra ball? Maybe some ball saves but thats sort of BS.

When I first set up my game it wasn't perfectly level and could get back door often. Now I leveled it and it is almost impossible. Is there a way to make it a bit easier? Felt tape?

Installed bone flippers last night because they are only $24 and this game should have been made with them on it and not yellow.

I was wondering how many Blood Red Kiss edition owners plan on buying a topper that doesn't match or the Medisinyl coffin ramp mod we all enjoy?

Really? Cool.

So I need to be prepared. Is Santa vs the martians special only on Christmas day when I play?

I did that with mine and it throws everything off. Yeah it was easy to get the back door but balls flowed entirelly different. Got mine perfectly level now and it rarely goes in but it plays so much better. I agree the ball just has to trickel in for you to make it. I thought about playing around with a soft velcro tape back there that may slow the ball down slightly? I'm not buying no $35 mod for this problem.

You know what would make this game fun is more SPINNER! I feel it rarely comes up and most of the time its during a multiball and rushed. It needs to be implemented better like in scared stiff. I think this is a good solution to the few extra balls and keys etc in this game. Would really open the game play up.

Let me clarify.
The spinning wheel I would like to see implemented more like in scared stiff. Maybe more options? Most of the time it pops up while a ball is in play and can't really use it as it should.

You can also 3D print one that has dimension to it in any color you want? Glow in the dark? https://cults3d.com/:1146396

This is crazy. I never new they made Elvira Halloween lights! ebay.com link: itm

I posted what I did on my post #14795. I have a dark arcade and the spotlights make the playfield glow without spending much money.

Any advise on correcting the ball coming off the ramp where the trunk meets? I've tried loosening and tightening that screw and raising it up a bit but nothing? Looks like it is smacking off the left side above the trunk and bouncing off but can't be sure?

That makes 3 of us! Same 4 pins just a different order.
