Trying to send photos, but can’t seem to get them to post right. Will try later.

Anyways, got my pin from my buddy Zach and FlipnOut pinball. When I see his company van pull in front of my house, I now know the excitement when the ladies see a flower truck pulling up.

First of all, before I forget, did anyone else notice the NIB stern box Image sitting in the background of the first ball lock screen? Cool little Easter egg. Also, on the back glass you will notice a tombstone bearing the classic line from Night of the Living Dead stating “we’re coming to get you Barbara”, with the name Barbara marked out by a skeleton laying on the ground and replaced with Elviras name. Love it!

Okay, the pin is absolutely beautiful. With all of the goodies installed, this pin reminds me of my feeling when I got my STLE pin. I will agree it will definitely need a lot of code, but this baby has the potential to be one of Sterns best. The art package is one of the best I have ever seen and I love the mirrored back glass. At first I thought the ramps wouldn’t be too good because they weren’t metal like I prefer, but they shoot real nice and smooth. The house is just a cool toy and I think will rival the MM castle in time, especially with the cool lighting effects. The crypt has writing on the side that lights up with different phrases which I never noticed before. Before leaving, Zach filmed HD close ups of the pin and playfield and a little bit of gameplay, so check a later episode of SDTM to see it. Oh, can’t forget about the side rails and the dark, candy apple red color Stern used on this pin. Beautiful baby!

I had to work late yesterday and I had a couple of people over last night to play the pin, so I really didn’t get the chance to play it that much last night, so take that for granted as you read moving forward.

I noticed several times during the game I would hit underneath the lift ramp, but it didn’t really reward me anything ( even though it was lit) and a couple of times I would look up and not see anything lit to hit at all. Again, later code will fix this. I hit one multiball shot ( I think it was something like attic multiball) and the screen showed Elvira talking, but it had no sound at all. Didn’t notice the tower to turn at all as well. But it looks like it’s going to have several multiball modes in this game, which is awesome.

My pin did not have the latest code installed, but from what I heard from other pinsiders about their problem with the different lights in the game flipping off and on whenever they hit the flipper buttons, I’m kinda nervous about doing it. For the ones who did do the update, does it make that big of a difference in regards to gameplay elements if I do the update?

In closing, I am very happy with this purchase and I cannot wait until the latest code hits( which rumors has may be in time for Chicago Expo). I have Elvira sitting next to Munsters and they really compliment each other well. Cmon Halloween!!!

MET will be tough to beat because it has awesome toys as well. To me, I struggled with GB when I had it. I just thought the shots were clunky, but I heard the new code is awesome. IMO I think Munsters and Elvira both shoot smooth, but I sincerely feel once Lyman is done with Elvira it could possibly top all (3).

A lot of Elviras call outs from Scared Stiff made it into the new pin, which is great. If you even remotely like Halloween, bad horror flicks and Elvira, then I think it’s a definite must buy. Hard to judge HOH just yet because right now it’s feels so incomplete with missing adjustments, added effects and modes, etc.

I get it, but he goes to all the threads in relation to Elvira and posts it. It's like he's trying to bash someone's happiness in getting that pin. He did the same to all the Munsters' threads.

I swear, I think some people just roll out of bed each morning to figure out how to cause misery in other people's lives. I don't blame the moderators on this one.

Had that problem with my LE recently. Took a look and just discovered the screws holding the top of the trunk was loose, so I tightened them all up and it works perfectly now. No sweat and an easy fix.

Hate to disagree with ya T7, but he's right. When I first got my HOH, my skill shot worked perfectly. I could hit that shot at least (1) out of (4) times and now, for some unknown reason, I can't hit that shot if my life depended on it. I had some buddies over and they messed with the level of the pin and every since then the shot is impossible to hit. I even went back and put the legs back to it's original setting with no pitch whatsover, but to no avail. Just doesn't make sense.

Yes, I did send a text to my distributor asking about the replacement part and no response whatsoever. Plus, I hate the thought of taking almost the whole upper part of the playfield off just to fix a problem I didn't have before.

Love the pin though and glad I got it. Medisynl mods are highly recommended and the trees mentioned above do add the haunted atmosphere as mentioned above.

Nice call back and homage to the SS mods Tatman. I’m really loving the side armor, even better than the armor that came with the LE.

Gotta ask though. Where did you get the free play card on the right. Would love to have one for my EHOH pin.

Yes, mostly during some multiball starts. The shaker motor goes off at the same time to add to the effect if you have one. Not as loud as the scream in GB, but hoping this adjustment could be added. I personally love the topper and it really adds to the overall fun experience with the game.

Yeah I mean the mod would go with the machine if I ever sold it, no way I tire of that mod its killer haha!
With the said I had a new idea.

feedback welcome but from what I can tell the first bally machine was 1932</blockquote
That’s a good idea. Wish I would have thought of it when I first ordered the mod.

That’s a good idea. Wish I would have thought of it when I first ordered the mod.

I like these better than the plain red ones that came on my LE.

Even your dog is happy. Win Win!

Hey Robert. I forgot to touch base with you about your advice you gave me on fixing the VUK kicker.

I did the adjustment you suggested and it works perfect now. Most (if not all) shots now shoot across the playfield and hits the targets.

So thanks buddy. This small adjustment just made my pin better!

Hey guys.

I just bought a bag full of SS parts (boogie men, boney beast head and bones, etc) and was wanting to experiment with putting them on the EHOH playfield in homage and loving memory of the SS pin I use to own and miss. (sniff sniff)

Anyways, I know a pinsider did this and I recall him putting the boney beast skull head at the entrance of the right ramps, along with the rib pieces circling around the ramp as well. Did anybody do this or recall who did this and, if you did, how did you attach the boney beast head?

You can answer me here or thru a private chat message here on Pinside. I appreciate any help you throw my way. Thanks in advance!

Yep, it must have been your pin.

I really like the look of your pin. I was able to figure out how to mount the boney beast head right at the entrance of the right ramp. I took the ribs and ran them down both sides of the plastic ramps and it looks awesome IMO. I wanted to incorporate some of the toys from SS, so I was able to add the boney beast, the coffin top to the stiff in the coffin, the boney flippers and the dancing boogie men (although I haven’t added them yet). The ribs doesn’t get in the way of the trunk and Medisynl mods that I have on the pin as well.

I’ll be sending in a pic to this thread soon, so thanks for your help fellas. Such a fantastic pin and the house ranks up there with the MM castle as one of the best toys with added features ever added to the pin.

Everybody knows this is just a HUGE cash grab for Stern. Just wait, if this one sells (which sounds like it did) they will make another limited edition LE (lesbian edition) to celebrate Cassandra coming out of the closet and it will sell out too for twice the money.

JJ did it with the WOZ editions, even after telling everyone the emerald city one WAS the special edition. Just saying.

Excellent job filming this pin. Your camera system and views in High Def really shows off the game. Good Job Sir!

I'm having the same problem with mine. It's definitely the top opto at the curve, but unfortunately everybody and their uncle does not have the opto parts in stock. I even got my distributor involved as well as Stern (both American and overseas), but even they are out of stock. Does anybody know who might have the optos in stock somewhere? Miss playing my EHOH.

Sounds like you had the same problem with your ramp like I did. My exact same opto went out and finally found one on Pinball Life. They sent me the correct opto, but I don’t think it was designed to fit on the ramp. Stern sent me instructions and mentions a brace to hold the optos, but I couldn’t find it. Mine was a real early LE build, so maybe the design was changed later. I was able to attach the opto using scotch tape and so far it’s been working great. Good luck!

Yep. For some reason my game never came with the u-shaped bracket. Probably need to see if I could order that part directly from Stern. Thanks for the response.

PM sent, but I haven't heard back from you.

Wasn’t trying to be a jerk, just wanted him to know I was interested in buying his product. Always interested in helping a fellow mod maker on pinside to put his kids thru college or to buy that boat he’s been looking at

Hey Fellas. I know someone posted about this before, but my EHOH topper does pop up and scream. However, it doesn't seem to stay up that much and was wondering if anybody knows a quick fix to this or something I should look for?

Appreciate the help in advance.

Awesome. Thanks fellas.

I agree. I put the glow in the dark boney beast set on the ramps of my EHOH and I bet that UV light would really set them off.

Don’t have no pics and I can’t post them on pinside, but I have the boney beast ribs on both ramps of EHOH and they look great. They just clip over the ramps just like they did in the SS pin (which I owned at one time).

Mine don’t connect, but they really don’t have to. The ribs just clip on the sides of the ramp and you can adjust them until they touch each other. I took some plastic ties and attached the boney head beast to the bottom of the right ramp and it looks pretty good. I even put in the boney flippers for a homage to SS in memory of me selling SS to help get the EHOH pin.

Be proud the VUK shoots the ball that good. A lot of other owners (including myself) would love to have one shoot it out that well.

I tried to fix it in every way possible to no avail, so I just write it up as a failure from the assembly line. Still one of my favorite pins I own.

You’re going to love your EHOH pin. To me, the haunted house on EHOH is Stern’s answer to Williams’ castle on Medieval Madness. It’s so cool with so many interactions in the game and is probably one of Sterns top 3 games in regards to interactive toys on the playfield (house, crypt, coffin). Plus, if you like modding, there are so many cool mods to put in the game as well.

Mine is bolted to the floor and I think it’s one of Lyman’s best coded machine. I especially love playing it around fall/Halloween time just for nostalgic reasons. You’re going to love Elvira’s quotes and other funny quips in the pin. I still love the back door jabs when you’re trying to hit that skill shot behind the house. Cracks me up every time.

Love this mod and I'm so happy to have it in my pin. It really makes the back end of the pin "pop" and beats looking at just a flat picture of the camper in the back. Plus, the camper is really integrated into the screen during one of the wizard modes.

Unfortunately I will probably never see it on my pin because my pinball playing SUCKS, but I was able to see the camper in action watching a Deadflip video

Anyways, fantastic mod and even better modder. Great customer service and very trustworthy. Thanks again Mageek!

Should be. Just send a pinside email to mageek and see if he could hook you up with one.

I like the looks of this pin, but I'm EXTREMELY happy with my red LE.

We shouldn't complain too much. At least Stern is releasing a brand new code included in this version to ALL EHOH owners. Personally, I can't wait to download it and play the crap out of it because I don't think anybody was expecting this, especially after hearing Lyman passed away.
