Someone please correct me if I am wrong but I believe this is Spooky’s powder coater.

That I don’t know, but was happy to be able to get a matched UM shooter housing. Looked great.

Where are you reading this? I saw that on fb but peacock still says 10/14 which I’m assuming means 12am.

I pulled the trigger too but wouldn’t have done so if I knew they were responsible for the crappy powder coat on my game.
Hey guys….again, I purchased an HUO CE a couple of weeks ago and love it! 2 quick questions…..
1. The powder coat seems to be getting black where our hands rest on the lockdown bar and below the flipper buttons. Anyway to “restore” the gold powder coat?
2. Is it just my observation or does the drop targets blocking the house ramp not fall all the time when receiving a direct hit? Even with a hard shot….
TIA

1. No, would need to recoat it. People on here are clearcoating theirs to protect the powdercoat. I’d search on here how to do that safely but that won’t fix the already dark areas.
2. Thats normal. You can make the springs tighter if you want them to drop more frequently.
Guys - just saw the movie in the theater
Really really disappointing.
No spoilers but wow - the decisions they made and the dynamic bw Michael and Cory. I just can’t believe they decided to do this. I liked 18, I thought kills wasn’t that bad but this? Terrible
This no spoiler review basically summarizes all of my thoughts as well. What were they thinking. Michael - is not the Michael we all know. Not taking about ending when I say this - Michael just disrespected during almost the entire movie
Laurie was still awesome though. And the first 20 min were great Then downhill
Thank God this pinball is based on the original

Long live ‘78 and II and III are fun too. Most of the rest I can personally live without. H20 isn’t bad and 2018 was pretty decent. But the simplicity of ‘78 never gets old.
Quoted from Roostking:Come on code drop!!!
Hopefully Spooky doesn’t lose the rights to this one too, before code is finalized.
Quoted from jonesjb:Hopefully Spooky doesn’t lose the rights to this one too, before code is finalized.
Losing rights would not stop them from being able to work on code, it would just hinder them adding any new material to the game
#955 with 55 plays. Not seeing any powder coat blackening. Looks just like it did the day I unboxed it. Tbo I wipe it down with a microfiber cloth after I’m done playing. Maybe I got lucky.

My 915 is dark like yours. There was a change at some point for sure
Got tracking today, should be here Monday!
The wife and I saw the 18 and kills in theaters, but might just peacock this one. We have been watching spooky movies most nights and making popcorn. Even if it sucks I’m just happy to see another.
I just love Halloween and it October.
Can’t wait to flip my own and stay spooky.

LOL Michael “disrespected” ! Spoiler: He’s a murderer!
Quoted from thekaiser82:That is how all the UM and HWN come from the factory. My OCD didn’t accept this so I bought this: https://www.lanezcustomsteel.com/
Whoa, I am a second owner, bought out at like 50 plays. Mine is matching, I assumed that was factory. Heh, learn something new. That would drive my OCD NUTS!
I just finished watching Halloween Ends on Peacock. The good news it didn't have any commercials. Woohoo!
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:LOL Michael “disrespected” ! Spoiler: He’s a murderer!
Haha I know but when you see it and how they portray Michael, it’s so misguided and not Halloween. I get they tried to swing big but big big miss.
Saw Ends, and ended up kinda liking it. Lot of folks will hate it, it's a huge change in concept and they went a very different route. I wasn't a big fan of Kills, despite having some cool slashing, it was a bad movie. This movie is a much better made film, but it's also not one that some fans are going to accept as it's so wildly different.
No spoilers…Ends SUCKS! Lifelong Halloween franchise fanboy. Enjoyed 2018 reboot; was meh on Kills but never thought Kills would be better than Ends. It is…by FAR. Truly disappointed. I went tonight and saw ‘78 on the big screen before watching Ends. Very happy that David Gordon Green can take his hands off of this franchise now. Terrible.

Yikes; that seems VERY not fair! You saw the original first? Any movie seen afterwards will suck
Going to see Ends (suuuuuure…) tonight!
I was assembling my new blackstone last night and my 4 year old was "helping". He dropped a piece of packing material and when he bent over to pick it up he nailed his forhead on the shooter handle. Big old goose egg and mark.
When his mother asked what happened, he said "Michael Meyers did it with his knife handle".
Can't wait to get the call from his teacher today, and a possible visit from CPS...
Just watched the new halloween ends and it was a good movie not great but I will never be unhappy with a new Michael myers movie. Just put about 20 plays on my game as well. Boy am I excited too see the new code FINALLY drop. Maybe the akkads were busy with the new movie release too fully approve all new content and animations where now they should be free. Fingers crossed
It is kind of a bummer they have not released the new code. I like to enjoy the whole month of October with scary movies, ect and was looking forward to the updated code. I don't understand why pinball in general is so secretive about everything. It would be great to get more information like that they are still working on it and shooting for a certain time frame or want to release it Halloween day. Or Stern could say Hey, Bond code is only whatever percent done instead of everyone speculating. I just wish there was more transparency in pinball all together.

Well if they give you a target date and miss the target that will not go over so swimmingly either. I'm sure they plan on just before Halloween so people have time to get the new code loaded and enjoy on Halloween.

I haven't played my pin for a week in anticipation of the code drop. I'd rather they give us a solid full-feature release than something that introduces any new issues... waiting patiently in Hoosierville.
Ok, spring came out of the center drop target mech and it looks like a NIGHTMARE to put back. Anyone have advise?
Update: spring back on. Tightened up. Now my drops will not rise at start of game.

I can understand that but I'm sure people would be more upset if they missed their predicted mark. Hell, look at the collective freak out and search for clues while people were waiting on Stern's latest release.
Speaking of Stern, I wonder if they know where the code is at release. I have a feeling that if people like the game then they just do bug fixes. Seems very rare that they add content as is anticipated with the Halloween update. I think they did with Munsters which makes me believe they tried "fixing" it as it was a slow seller and not getting very much good press. Code was the main reason I dumped my AIQ and with they way everyone talks about it I doubt they will ever update anything other than bugs.

Was it as hard as you anticipated?
It was only annoying because I let a spring slip completely out of the mech and had to remove the pcb board to be able to get to it. But I got them dialed in PERFECTLY and the game plays so much better now. It was definitely worth the headache.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Was it as hard as you anticipated?
For all the Carpenter fans…the Escape from New York and Halloween sections absolutely SHRED in this medley. If someone can figure out how to get this version into the game I’ll lose my mind.

I remember when this was posted last year, I still revisit it every once in a while! That whole channel is pretty awesome
Checked out Halloween Ends - loved it! I get why people didn’t like it quite as much (Friday the 13th part V) but I thought it was a really interesting way to go. Total 80s vibes at times too. Soooooooooo much better than the vast majority of the sequels. Doesn’t have the Carpenter atmosphere but nobody can copy that. Definitely not as good as 2018 but definitely worth seeing

Same here, I thought it was really good! A fitting ending. Of course the viewer has to suspend disbelief pretty heavily but what the hell, it's a slasher movie and we've got to accept some loose ends (looking at you, all the kids at the junkyard) aren't going to get tied up. I also liked the music playing at the grocery store and at the end of the movie - ties in with our pinball machine nicely!
I’m gonna post it every October till the code is complete haha

Quoted from djsolzs:Wow - hoping you still move forward with this as I intend to as well
I did get the knocker and shaker installed and working, and I can post info on the harness, as you requested, when I get a chance to take some pics of everything.
Also, my knife arrived from Trick or Treat Studios, so I need to get it installed as well.

100%. ! Yeah definitely some silly parts but in general, still good. Not scary at ALL but worth checking out
Okay.
I loved Halloween
I liked Halloween II
I loved Halloween III
I tolerated Halloween IV-VI
I loved Halloween VII (H20)
I hated Halloween VIII
I really liked Halloween 2018
I hated Halloween Kills
I hated hated hated hated hated Halloween Ends
Sweet Christ. Let the franchise die with some dignity.
I’m a movie beast. Michael Myers is my dad. Have the pin on the way. Actually liked the new movie despite hating most of them all without Pleasance (sans 3). Let this franchise die now though please forever.

HELL YEAH!!!
lpeters82 check that out, right around the 3:45 mark. Imagine that in a wizard mode!!!
I was thinking about additional music to be added to the game if we don’t get Mr. Sandman. How about “Wish I had you all alone just the two of us” and “No keys but please My Paul”

Saw last night and agree w this....not a Halloween movie at all, but appreciated the few references they stuck in. Odd, but interesting storyline ( as much as you could expect from a slasher flick). Safe to say this has long since run its course...
Whatever...something different for a Friday night watch....thankfully, the pin is based on the original, which will always be a classic, imho...
For those that really enjoyed this movie - I totally get it’s different but the problem I have is that unlike 3, this one actually has Michael in it. That’s what bothered me the most. I liked the story, appreciated the fact it didn’t need to be a slasher like kills but downplaying the real star of the series and even having him being bullied basically was so disrespectful to the character that is pure evil. How do you take the kills ending where the guy was basically superhuman and then have him like this? The inconsistency is frustrating. I just hate what they did with Michael.
Looking back on it, 2018 is really where I’m considering this thing ended as it really was great all around. I never say no to new Halloween though.
