I'm looking to buy a 3rd machine to put in my game room. I've been looking at many EM machines and I think that is the route I'm gonna go this time around. I'm looking to buy something with a horror based theme to it and something that is in fairly good shape. I really like the look of Bally's 1970 Vampire, but I have not been able to find one anywhere for sale. Does anyone know of any other horror based EM ? Plus with a used machine, I can start getting my feet wet with minor repairs. Stern's 1979 Dracula looks awesome but it's not an EM and again, its no where to be found for sale. Any suggestions ?

Going EM you don't leave many if any choices. I love my Haunted House SS and you can usually find them now and then so don't throw it out of consideration. It was a very complicated machine for it's era so I can be a bit of PIA to maintain at times.

Yeah thats true not many choices ,
most EMs I've seen have an optimistic theme then the latter SS pins.
the only ones I can think of are....
1976 Wms. 'Aztec '- pretty woman about to get her heart ripped out of her, and she's happy about it too. over 10,000 made you come across 2-3 a year for sale.

1969 Wms. 'Suspence' - kind of a boring playfield except for the spin wheel, back glass looks like a bad acid trip or the guys getting his face melted off with a death ray of some kind?

1977 Gtb. 'Golden Arrow' - looks like a classic comic book cover bad guy/bad injin or the
1978 Europlay version 'Red Arrow'- you never know what will turn up at an auction?

would love to get my hands on a Aztec! Aztec is a pin I used to play as a late teen, it was a lot of fun.
