Elvira and the Party Monsters
Bally, 1989
Scared Stiff
Bally, 1996It's Halloween. Keeping my tradition every year on Halloween I have a date with SS/Elvira and put some quality time on her. Sometimes I break to play MB. Lights off in the arcade except for those two machines (and sometimes LOTR). Playing SS/Elvira on Halloween with Barry White in the background. Creepy eh?
All kidding aside, if you own a SS play it tonight. Start your own tradition. Off to the gameroom.

Are you playing Barry White to get you in the mood, or the pin? 
I drug out my SS and MC into the driveway for tonight's festivities and held a high score tournament on both machines. I had different prizes for different age groups (big candy bars for the kids, six pack for the adults). Interestingly enough, a 10 year old girl had the highest score on SS for the night.

Cool idea.
Elvira rewarded me!! I actually completed Scared Stiff on the stiff-o-meter for the very first time ever and grand champion score! Very cool. What a cool Monster Multi-ball sequence. And this is why I keep this bad girl around. I think the Barry White music caught the game off guard or it's my pinball mojo music.

Very cool!! We only had 6 trick or treaters tonight. 
Well - I assume playing with Elvira and the Party monsters would do as well. And I love that quote "don't touch me there" so much (those on free play will never experience this - only happens if trying to start a new game with no credits left).

Great minds, must think alike. I have been doing this exact same thing for years now.
