I don't know if Butch Patrick is involved in any way with this game (I admittedly haven't kept up with this thread), but @bretbmf, @ajnada, and I do a weekly horror podcast, and we're slated to interview him in mid-November for our "horror TV shows" episode. We'll ask him what (if anything) he knows about it.

We interviewed Butch Patrick earlier today for our weekly horror podcast (The Swearwolves). It’s (the interview) about 15 minutes long.

Amongst other things, we asked him about the pin. He told us stuff.

The episode will be released 11/26 at 12am ET.

Not at all! We've got 11 other episodes you can check out in the meantime, brother!

Seriously though, the reason for the delay is that we release new episodes at midnight every Monday, and we already had the one that came out today 100% edited, mixed, mastered, and ready for human consumption on the off-chance that Butch canceled or the interview fell through.

Episode 12 (11/26) is about horror TV shows, so it made sense to save the Butch Patrick interview for that one. I cut it in and made some final edits for time purposes (not to Butch's interview - that's 100% uncut) late last night. I gave the whole thing a listen this morning, and it's good to go for next week.

For those who plan to tune in just for the pinball segment, the interview starts at about the 10:40 mark, and the pinball part starts at about 18:55 (and runs just under 2 minutes).

BUT... if you dig all things horror, please consider checking out our show. We have a lot of fun doing it - and while we mostly talk movies - we touch on lots of other stuff, too: like video games, pinball, music, conventions, etc. We are a bit potty-mouthed... just putting that out there.

*edit: oh, and I should also mention that all three of us on the podcast are Pinsiders. There's me, @bretbmf, and @ajnada.

Alright... this should be live on most podcast sites by now (and if not - it's on our website at www.theswearwolves.com). Jump to around the 10:40 mark for our interview with Butch Patrick, where he not only confirms that this game is very much real, but that it's finished - and then he tells us where/when you'll get to see it in the flesh.

* the episode mentioned in my original post is Episode 12: Terror on the Tube! Monsters, Munsters, and TV Mayhem!

Anything’s possible, but if what Butch Patrick told us is accurate (see post# 1857), the game will be unveiled in March, at TPF - so I’d be surprised if we see many playable machines (if any) prior to that.

That would be awesome!
