Maybe it's less popular than other games because people can't handle all that Torgo? Getting the luggage part of the Manos mode amuses me every game. It's hilarious to think Manos: The Hands of Fate, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Brain..., etc. have been forever immortalized in a pinball machine before Jaws, I love it! I think the only way I'd like this game more would be if it was MST3K, but I wouldn't want it not to be Elvira either. I still can't believe this game exists.

I knew the real reason, but it's more fun to blame Torgo and Manos. Those of us who have willfully endured watching Manos multiple times over the years have felt real pain and have not fully healed.

Quoted from UnholySpectacle:

I just want to know what modes this adds for 1k. For that much money it better be more than a throw away goat multiball. Since we have not seen any use of Eegah even though he is a main character on the backglass I hope it is something using those assets. Between Richard Kiel’s mumbling and Arch Hall jr’s whining I’m sure Lyman could make a fun mode or two. Where is my “Shave Eegah” mode Stern?

If the topper adds the "Watch out for snakes!" quote from Eegah! to the game then I'll have to buy one.

I had an annoying issue with the house diverter not working correctly, the motor would keep moving the metal plate in the back of the house up and down so haunts wouldn't start consistently. Turned out the mechanism wasn't making contact with one of the switches in the back and it has worked fine since I repositioned the bracket. Seems to be a rarer problem, only saw it mentioned a couple of times on this thread early on.

Quoted from Swigley1:

Quick question. I had my premium for a couple months and the center house ramp doesn’t seem to work correctly. The only way to start a haunt is with the back door shot. During trailer trash the front ramp shot only registers as drive me crazy. This doesn’t seem correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Does the house diverter metal plate behind the house operate correctly? I had to fix mine because I had similar problems with haunts not starting from the ramp shot and balls would go straight through the house without registering.

Quoted from docquest:

When you said "true classic horror" I'm thinking Karloff's Frankenstein, Lugosi's Dracula, and Chaney's Wolfman. All the movies you mentioned came out when I was growing up so I consider them "modern" horror, LOL.

Same, in fact when I hear "true classic horror" I think of silent films like Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, Vampyr, Chaney Sr.'s Phantom of the Opera, etc. I'm only in my 30's though.

Quoted from Diospinball:

And yeah... I am lucky I already got through Manos... what a turd. But, kudos to the guy for making a film. I tried and wasted 15k of my own money... Maybe a bit more. So hats off to him.

I think I've seen Manos around ten times since the 90's between the MST3K, Elvira, and live rifftrax show version. Only watched it once without any moral comedy support though.

Quoted from balt:

I lead a pretty sheltered life, so I hadn't heard this decade old song until today. I got a strong Elvira vibe from it and wanted to share it here. Apparently it is also popular with the Peaky Blinders crowd.

I first heard this song on the Duane Barry episode of The X-Files as a kid in the 90's. It blew my mind and then I became a Nick Cave fanatic for a decade. His concerts are still in a league of their own even if his backing band the Bad Seeds are a shadow of what they used to be.

The song was also used in one of the Scream movies if I recall correctly. I haven't seen Peaky Blinders but I know it has some cool songs from Cave, PJ Harvey, Tom Waits, etc.
