These are two very different games. I can't see how you can put one of the highest rated Stern/Elwin games up against just about *any* other game on these forums and expect anything other than people chiming in to vote for JP2.

Quoted from hAbO:As a horror/pinball fan I was really interested in Halloween. My previous experience owning RZ killed my enthusiasm for future Spooky titles. I never bought a NIB or even used game that had so many issues and it just burned me out for a while.
That being said I was extremely interested in Halloween but didn't pull the trigger. The art is phenomenal like all pins from Spooky. From manadams gameplay vid it looks like the code is night day beyond what it shipped with and can really appreciate how the modes walk you through the movie. That's a really nice touch. The gameplay and playfield layout takes advantage of the entire playfield. Charlie hates fan layouts and you can definitely see it in his designs. Its not a perfect game but if your a fan, have room, and cash then go for it. I agree that its a diamond in the rough and with a little more polishing could be a cult favorite down the road as someone mentioned already .
I also stopped buying Spooky games after my experiences with RZ. The gameplay left me cold almost immediately and it just wasn't worth dealing with the tech issues to keep it going. The Halloween theme pulled me back in and I'm glad I stuck with it. Despite some rough edges, Halloween definitely does not suck. I was skeptical before, but now I think it could even end up becoming a sleeper hit.
