If comparing current code, Elvira wins hands down.

I like the Munsters layout, shots and art (especially the B&W Premium) and love the theme, at least as much Elvira if not more. I was so excited when Munsters came out but the one-trick pony code and lackluster theme integration has taken it off the radar.

Elvira is overpriced (more so than most) to the extent it feels like a cash grab to take advantage of the fan base. The art package on the LE is very good and looks significantly better in person. The game is fun to shoot and the theme of returning monsters from the haunted house to film is brilliant and perfect with Elvira. The game complements the first two perfectly. But the crown jewel of Elvira is Lyman on the code. Elvira may not be Lyman’s dream theme like Batman 66 was but he’s always wanted to do a haunted house game, so I suspect the code will end up being epic and deep enough for any home buyer.

Quoted from rai:

Munsters is bad.
The floating heads bother me, they don't seem to give much points so they are just a little chore or something to throw in there like whatever. I don't care for that, if it's not wow great mode just leave it out (IMO).

Greg indicated to me at Expo that the deadheads were being reworked to be more of hurry up type shots.

Quoted from Who-Dey:

Dont bet on that.

Until there is actually new code, it would be foolish to bet otherwise.

@thunderbird nailed it.

And another thumbs up for the Munsters ramps.

Quoted from Diospinball:

I think people might have read too much into my dislike for the Munsters pin.

It’s not you. There are just some that don’t allow anything other than superfanboyeverythingisperfectgreatestgameever or hater and think everyone has to be in one of those two buckets and you are horribly wrong if you are anywhere in the middle.
