Quoted from delt31:

That could very well be the case but imo, it's not that malicious. It's good content for the show and he does like to surface inperfections but with his limited play time and complete lack of understanding of why halloween works as a movie and now a pinball machine, he's off to the races and not turning back.
The mindset you have when playing halloween is not the same as godzilla (another game I own). These are two different pins. Halloween has its own style and tempo and mood and you name it. The game is very unique and is truly a collectors pin - not a tournament player that is all about fast combos and scoring while you rock out to your own music. It's completely the opposite of that so I can understand not only why someone who has no appreciation for the movie doesn't like it and also why the tournament players don't care for it either.

Quoted from Jenniebear:

I really hope the decal issues get fixed. That was my main hesitation on buying a second Spooky game. The trim on my Rick and Morty back box was cut to long and has bubbles. The decal on my right side came with scratches and dirt under the decal. Spooky still hasn’t sent me a replacement decal for the right side.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

264 in the house!!! Beautiful Game!!!
Only got a few in tonight, but tomorrow is dial in bourbon night....too excited!!

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

I thought I would miss the pop bumpers, but glad they didn’t put them in. I did not miss them. Got 6 games in on it and looking forward to many more. Can’t wait.

Quoted from steve-o:

So funny!
I’ve never thought about pop bumpers while playing our HWN. IMO it absolutely does not miss them. It is such and unusual and elegant design that fits our home collection so very well. We are so glad we joined the Fang Club and was ready to buy on day one. We played ours for hours tonight and had to rip ourselves away. It’s addictive and immersive.
No smoke. It is that good.

Quoted from SpookyLuke:

This is odd. We are pretty good about sending out things like this. Why don't you send me an email with shipping info and I'll make sure it gets to ya!

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

I have not seen the movie yet (I will) and I played it on location with early code. I wasn’t going to play it because wanted to be surprised when my CE #481 arrives for my wife and daughters. I was a little worried because of all the hate.
After I played it I couldn’t wait to get it. I traded up from 780 to 481. In was really unique experience. Definitely felt some tension when playing it. The artwork is stunning and the light show didn’t disappoint at all.
I didn’t care for the cheap knife and the plexiglass protector over the drop targets was flimsy. Otherwise nothing else to complain about. The flippers were strong and the upper playfields added a whole new experience for me.

Quoted from Roostking:

I'm in the same boat. Halloween's on the way eventually so I played the same Halloween you're talking about, and I think it's progressing nicely and in a home setting it's going to absolutely shine with the immersion and creepiness.

Quoted from SpookyLuke:

I think that a for sure aspect of horror games is that you do need to be in a dark home environment to really take it in to the fullest extent. I mean imagine watching a horror movie in a loud, busy bar environment it certainly wouldn't feel the same as watching at home in your dark basement at midnight! Don't get me wrong I think it offers steller location gameplay as well, I just truly believe you can't have the true in depth feel until your in the right setting!
Can't wait to see it develope as we continue to add new assets, modes, rules, multipliers, and just overall creepy cool features. I think we are going to make alot of people very happy!

I’ve installed the IPS monitor and it looks great. The power plug is a little flaky and I have an issue with sound. Has anyone else experienced this? Like the volume seems way down? It’s like I’m getting no sub woofer

Quoted from LMTLESS:

Hi Guys - I have HW CE #812 with PinballStar --- if someone who ordered from PinballStar wants to trade an earlier spot for #812, I would consider. A unique thing about #812 is when you divide 8/12 you get 666.

I got my new LCD installed. The blacks look so much better. I highly recommend this mod.[quoted image]

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

How much would you say is the total cost of this mod?

Quoted from NerdOut:

I would be willing to trade back. I am 382 but I ordered through Spooky.

Quoted from LMTLESS:

I wonder if Spooky or PinballStar could help us with doing this or not.

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

It’s a do it yourself thing man. It’s just swapping out a screen and making a few settings adjustments. I’m sure you can handle it.

Quoted from adamross:

Love creepy cool new features but refinement & repair what's already there is something I'm very much looking forward to as well... timing out the modes, no overlapping of speech, staging, more variety of callouts, etc.

Quoted from LMTLESS:

I think you replied to the wrong post...

Quoted from SpookyLuke:

Agree for sure! I probably should be doing a better job describing the direction. I get so excited about the new stuff I ramble about that lol. However you will see in the coming update we revisited a large portion of the modes. With every update they always spend atleast half the time refining and improving what is there. I know next update has a big emphasis on revisiting some of the modes. It's a balance and both will certainly get attention. We are still adding sound effects, little bits of movie audio, light shoes, bug fixes, audio and animation adjustments etc to every single mode. I know they also have some major change plans for some as well.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

A break for a pour, but WOW, this game is like nothing I've ever played!!! Serious, serious honeymoon phase at the moment....absolutely just pulls you in...with a quite unique, paced way....quite terrifying and fascinating at the same time. I know it's early for me, but really enjoying this ride.
Going w 7.0 currently to get things through the subways (calibrated inclinometer I use at work)...might back down to 6.8 tomorrow. What's the favorite at this point?
Whew, great job Spooky!!! Just an amazing, approachable game....thank you!!!

Quoted from lpeters82:

Games are tested in the factory at 6.5 degrees, but I recorded a video this morning that provides a tour of the subway system. The one thing I failed to mention in the video is your left to right slope. If your game isn't level that could have a major effect on the gameplay, especially that right subway.

Quoted from Lopa:

My game plays pretty flawlessly at 7.0

Quoted from jeffro01:

I'm at 6.5 FWIW...

Quoted from jk2171:

Love reviews like this! I ordered Day 1 hoping Spooky would capture the feel of the movie. Sounds like they did an awesome job! Couple more months for mine still.

Great vid

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:

For those of you considering dropping some coin on the LCD upgrade. Don't do it until you change the factory settings on the one you have. The OEM display was not set at the factory to be looked down on. After all, who looks down on a monitor. It is always straight on. Because of that you need to tweak the settings. Here is what I used:
Brightness 40%
Contrast 80%
Gamma on
I'm 5' 11" and it looks considerably better with these settings.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

Settings definitely improved the performance, but for me (just me) the off axis stuff was noticeable enough (I sit and stand depending on how serious I am) that the IPS upgrade made sense. Overall blacks and color saturation are quite improved across the board as well. Maybe not a "must have" but definitely an improvement.....
Sort of like PDI for me I guess...
Landed at 6.7 to lock it down and having a blast....great game!!!

Just ordered the IPS upgrade. I want to make this excellent game is the best it can be especially with upcoming new code, video and graphics. I want the scare factor very clear!
