Scared Stiff
Bally, 1996I have a factory sealed Scared Stiff that came from the Mistress herself, Cassandra Peterson. Machine will come with certificate of authenticity on Queen B Productions letterhead signed by Cassandra Peterson and Mark Pierson. Machine in located in Los Angeles, CA.
Whoa, pretty cool stuff. Let me get my house on the market. Do you think there is room for me to sleep inside of it? 
Quoted from bemmett:Whoa, pretty cool stuff. Let me get my house on the market. Do you think there is room for me to sleep inside of it?
Sleep inside a pinball? I'd rather sleep inside her shooter lane be damned! Glws. I wish I was a multimillionaire!
Quoted from RobertWinter:...Price is $25,000...

Quoted from jeffgoldstein2:Steal deal this will go so fast!
Hard to tell. It's a one of a kind so pricing it is very difficult. Let's say a really nice Scared Stiff goes for $6500 . So a NIB has to be around $9-10k I guess? Ownership is definitely awesome, but is it placard'd like the ST:TNG games were? You'd have to find the crazy pinball/elvira crossover fan with deep pockets. Not saying there isn't one out there, but definitely a limited market.
Quoted from RobertWinter:Price is $25,000.
Wish I was farther.
Wow that's a tough sell - you pay $25k for a NIB hugely collector's item ... will you actually ever remove it from the box? Guessing that would drop the value immensely almost immediately. Kinda funny to think someone could buy and just display the box in their game room - saying that "That's a NIB Scared Stiff in there from Elvira! But I can't open it cause it would drop $10k in value!" ..

It would suck if after looking at the box for two years you said screw it. You open the box and its a comet pinball.

So, the one that sold on eBay a few years back was, I believe, from Ms Peterson as well. So, she had/has 2 (or more?) NIB SS?

^ this.
at this point someone buy a box and say it's a Scared Stiff = same thing.
Could we be treated to a few pics 
I'd love to see what a NIB older pin came in, (sick of seeing all the Stern boxes lol)

Lol, that's funny.
Quoted from vid1900:Sure.
Or what if she got a dozen of them as part of the licensing deal?
I think it makes more sense that it may be the same one, since the OP says it "came from", as in it was a prior purchase. I'm sure she could have gotten as many as she wants, but I doubt she just kept them all NIB sitting somewhere all these years.
Interesting, but a hard sale for sure. I'm willing to bet your email gets flooded with crazy low offers.
Price is set by Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira.
Keep in mind, she's a senoir citizen now.
Diapers and medication don't come cheap.

I thought she said at Comicon that she still had some NIB.
Quoted from scylla:This is probably a really stupid question, but is it good for a pin to sit boxed up for almost 20 years? That means the batteries would have been sitting there for 20 years too - right?
Some old Williams games had Rayovac carbon batteries from the factory, so those do not cause the mess that alkaline batteries do.
As long as they were kept in a dry and stable temp, they should have the minimum corrosion on the zinc parts.
Take a look at HEP's site with the pics of the NGG or Dinner he restored NIB.
Ebay auction from 2002 with pics of NIB:

Quoted from Pbpins:I am pretty sure she got at least a couple as part if the deal with WMS.
True.
