This is a spin off of the topic by "Odin" but with a poll. The poll only has 9 Horror themes (Pinside Max). I took a bunch of themes mentioned then widdled it down to 9 that weren’t too dark. I thought that those who might not respond to the thread or lurk would at least vote. It's biased and loaded since there isnt a "No Horror Pin" vote.

Here is the original thread...

Thanks,

I'm partial to Rob Zombie and the stuff he does in concert. I thought that a pin would capture the everything well - light show, music with DMD or LCD

I'd also be VERY interested in a Haunted Mansion or Elvira pin also but I can only vote once damn it

Good point. It doesnt have to be Stern. The main focus was more on a pick of a "Horror Theme". I dont think anyone would mind if Skit-b, JJP or any number of smaller companies would pick up the the baton on this one. <<edited the topic>>

The Walking Dead has a HUGE following. The creators have done a great job of balancing the gore/story/mood to appeal to a wide range people. As a horror/sci fy/paranormal geek attending a conference there was a panel discussion on the show with few of the actors. They discussed the rules, methology, etc. for different types of Zombies in films. People cant seem to get enough of it especially the teenagers.

Here is a "The Walking Dead" pin thread that was a pretty hot topic a few months ago.

When mentioning the "mood" and "dark" I would think that "The Walking Dead" is a good candidate for sure.

Here is one of the coolest original horror/scify virtual pins I've ever played. They used the Predator Soundtrack to get you pumped!

"Loaded with 5 different missions + wizard mode, lots of cows, UFO's, Zombies, Men in Black, Biohazard, Alien Invaders, Robots, Odd-eyed monsters, Cocoons, Nuke plant, Demons and infernal gates".

Blindmankind also did another bad ass Future Pin table about angels and demons fighting it out. One of my favorites... "Three Angels"

I can't believe so few votes for a third Elvira machine. Complete the trilogy!

Yeah, I'm surprised at this also. I think even Dennis Nordman started a thread not long ago (couldnt find it) and there was a lot of interest/support.

Ghost Busters...with and animated Slimmer topper. Cool.

Ghostbusters would be kid friendly and tons of potential with that title. It would make tons of sense to do with the upcoming Ghostbusters 3 now in production. Lots of snappy call outs and material to use. Hell, theres even a hint at how cool it would be from the rethemed Flash Gordon

Ooo! It's neck n' neck between Haunted Mansion and The Walking Dead! I thought there would be more Zombie fans coming out
