I have both - the playfield layouts are almost identical. MB is probably my favorite theme ever. Both play fast. Code is WAAAAAAY deeper on Elvira. It's not even close. Lyman coded both... obviously you can't lose either way. Elvira is far ahead in terms of code, and is only halfway done.
I am still shocked at how few mods there are for MB. Has always been a disappointment
But if you are definitely looking for a NIB game, get Elvira. There are tons of used MB out there you can find
Quoted from DylanFan71:I'm really stunned by the love for Elvira vs an all time classic. The theme was an instant pass for me when Stern announced it but I'm glad people like it this much. I was surprised that spookycharlie owns it and said how much he liked it on The Super Awesome Pinball Show Podcast.
Hopefully I can find one to play in 2021 when we can leave our houses again.
It is REALLY good. I was super disappointed in the initial release, and that stream was really not great... But WOW did Lyman come through with subsequent updates. MB is a game that will never leave the house - and Elvira 3 is fast getting to that point. It's got SO much in there. The theme integration is absolutely killer. On par wth Hobbit IMO. But you have to like the silly horror theme to appreciate it. Which I do 
Quoted from sbmania:Having never played HOH, which is better/more fun? HOH, Scared Stiff, or EATPM? I've owned both SS and EATPM and love them both. Will HOH hold its own against those?
I think EATPM has a better layout and is more fun to shoot, but lacks depth. EHOH is IMO superior to Scared Stiff, which is far too easy. Fun too, but I don't think you'd never play SS if you have EHOH - they are fairly similar in many respects.
EHOH is the only game my wife has *specifically* come downstairs just to play
Quoted from littleoak:Thanks again for all the info. After thinking it over and reading all the great feedback I decided to go with both games. Play both and maybe sell one down the road.
This wins my vote for best Pinside post ever.
