Oh this is going to be good!

After seeing what you did to Dracula can’t wait to see this progress.

What’s great about that artwork is the artist has drawn both pieces with the original films mask design, only slightly slimming it down, but still it looks close to the original and the artwork looks great because of it.

Other than Halloween 2, curse of Micheal Myers was the only sequel that got anywhere close to looking like the original mask.

That looks great! Like I said in my post above luckily the artist drew that poster using the original mask as the masks in H4 & H5 looked less than great.

Loving the idea though and design, looking forward watching how you implement this theme, loving that backglass design though, are you going to go with a standard translite or mirrored?

Yeah here is the original mask before they sprayed it silver and white.

CPR will be able to make a mirrored glass for you, but that’s only going to be an option once they have their made to order service up and running, no idea how far away they are from that.

I’d try to incorporate it, other than the Mask/Micheal himself the knife is the most iconic piece of imagery from the film.

I was considering doing a Halloween re-theme when I heard the rumour Spooky could be doing Stranger Things instead of something like Halloween, Friday 13th etc.

Hardest part while I was brainstorming for it was trying to work out how to incorporate the mask, knife, closet etc other than just in the art.

Started to consider doing a horror mash up re-theme, little like monster bash but with Michael, Freddy, Jason, Ghostface, Pinhead in place of the monsters.

What do you have planned for the upper playfield drops/standups? That would make a cool closet shot/area?

You have 5 drops, 5 inserts, could always “Closet” and have some fun with the drops in the mode/mb, it’s such an iconic scene it deserves its own mode, depending what your doing with code.

Easily my favourite scene of the film, remember thinking oh shit he’s still alive.

Poor Karen

That was kind of my intention

Yeah but with these passion projects aren’t we always? I have a Goldeneye that I spent years and $1000s getting every NOS part for a full NOS restore, I’ll never get that money back but it was so worth it

Haha very cool or maybe I should say bravo

This might help you

And you have to recreate this classic shot if your visiting some of the iconic film locations.

The film looks great, early reviews where very positive and additional media outlets are reporting on it very positively, cannot wait to see it!

Mask was made to be an exact replica of the original first mask and then purposefully aged.

It’s also the original actor Nick Castle, back playing Michael Myers to ensure the movements and body language where all accurate and authentic.

I could be wrong but from what I heard, James did all the physical shots and stunt work.

Nick did the scene that required his “move” (Halloween fans will know what movement I’m talking about) but he actually did a couple of the “stalking” scenes.

Yeah I read that, but heard he had done a couple of extra scenes specifically stalking shots in the way he/Micheal would move now at his age.

I guess we will know for sure when they do the behind the scenes/making of featurettes, but either way I’m excited to see this and hopefully I’ll get to see it early.

I think because of the theme and the films use of darkness, I would swap the colours round, so more black with hints/highlights or orange.

Found a picture online that gives a pretty good idea now the orange might look used to highlight around the black.

Are you going LCD with this or good old fashioned DMD with custom dots?

Saw these online, they are bead designs, reminded me of a DMD animation, as much as I love the LCD era we are now in, dots done well are awesome!

If you go the dmd route with custom dots give me a shout I’ll happily help you as per your instructions to create dots/frames for your animations.

Black apron no question, little back lighting underneath it will look phenomenal.

I know it’s not the official logo if you reverse it but could you backlight the Halloween pumpkin logo? And reverse it and have it on the other side of the apron too?

Would also be very cool if you could backlight the writting on the apron.

Now that’s a good idea Doc, not just for this pin but custom pins in general, pinch this one for my custom game.

Very cool seeing those locations then and now thanks for posting Sinestro

Glad to see your back Colsond3 and I hope your family are as well as can be expected in this difficult time.

Look forward to seeing more progress on this and here’s a little gif to get you in the mood!

The new Halloween was pretty good! Great promo shots made for that film.

Colsond3 I know you have possibly mentioned it in this thread or via our chats about Halloween in pm but it slips my mind if you have ever mentioned on your plans for the players perspective, are you planning on having the player be Micheal or Laurie?

I like the idea of being Michael who wouldn’t want to play as him, plus if your using movie footage you have every stalker and kill seen available to you.

I don’t know if you remember but we spoke about Halloween quite abit via pm, with my plan being to retheme a beat up Elvis, which is still on the cards I hope, but I wanted that so the player is Michael.

Couple of rules mode ideas I draw up was to have the flippers go dead, most of the GI go out in sync with Laurie knocking him down on the landing, then have a ball auto plunge as he sits back up, one of my favourite Halloween scenes.

I also thought it would be cool to have his stalking scenes play into the rules, building the jackpot or SJP values would prolong/loop the stalking scenes/footage and the JP/SJP moving the scene on with his signature disappearing act.

Have you got round to drawing up your ruleset/modes yet?

Have you tried dropping ZY a pm for some ideas/directions? I’m sure he would give you some pointers Jeremy seems super nice and seems to genuinely love pinball and he obviously loves/is amazing at pinball art.
