It would be my first NIB pin ever.

Quoted from DennisNordman:Well...not yet Greg and I would like to know how many people would be seriously interested in buying a new Elvira themed pinball game. We love the Elvira character and would love to design a new pinball adventure for her.
Some have argued that Elvira is to old for a new pingame. But we disagree, Elvira is a "character", the game is not about Cassandra, who is still hot by the way. Imagine how Dorothy from WOZ looks now. Or even Capt. Kirk or Spock.
The Elvira character is great for introducing new adventures with lots of humor. We really wanna' do this!
Dennis (and Greg)
how about elvira and some other large breasted women all over the playfield and backglass... havent thought of a name or theme, other than a bunch of big breasts 
i would be in for another elvira pin for sure though
Beauharnois
some people gave good choice here.
zombie aliens, in a haunted space station and elvira in charge.
or aliens turning into zombie when they land in elvira's haunted castle... damn where do i send the money!
My vote is for Elvira's haunted house. Oh and through a few zombies in there and you've hit everything on my pin dream list.
I guess the real question is how much?
I'm on the fence with this one. i loved ss. it one of the the greatest pins ever made imo. i think you're messin with perfection there Dennis.
Would rather see something based on the original Munsters.
Quoted from SteveW:Can Elvira have a sidekick:
Heck...she looks pretty much like the Elvira on my SS backglass. If your going to do an LCD version with real footage, she's a viable choice to portray the character in a younger form.
Other than the boobs, I haven't been exposed to Elvira very much, and I am 33 years old.
I know you guys have a lot of love for her, but has the Elvira brand done anything relevant lately?
Quoted from SteveW:Can Elvira have a sidekick:
» YouTube video
She does a great Elvira impersonation.
Steve
Damn, that's a great impersonation. What a beautiful pair of eyes!
A Cassandra/Hannah collaboration. This was taken in the Macabre Mobile at this year's Comikaze convention.
With all due respect, yesterday is gone for a reason. It's time is past. You guys are pretty clever, do something new. Make history, don't recycle it.

I'm in for this!!! ^^^

No Dennis, that would suck! That means I have to save my money and buy another NIB game. Okay...okay! As long as it incorporates all of the things you mentioned earlier (zombies, UFOs, haunted house features, etc).......I'm in. Plus, a great toy as well. No...not those toys!!! But only if you promise to sign one of my man boobs when I pick up the game. OMG....There might be a chance Dennis Nordman will respond to this post (giggling like a school girl at a Justin Bieber concert)

Personally, I'd rather buy an original-themed horror/haunted pin than yet another superhero, music band, movie theme machine.
This is the first "boutique" pin theme that REALLY interests me.

no doubt, sick of seeing superhero/movie based pins. i understand the theme helps sell them, but something original would be a really nice change
I didnt vote.......
Yes I definitely would like a new Elivra based machine... Scared Stiff was the first machine I purchased and is responsible for getting me into this hobby.
Having said that, my wife would probably not let me buy one for my house.... she is looking for more kid friendly themes.
However, I would dump a ton of money into a new machine though, so I say go for it!
I agree above that that having her as part of an overall monsters/haunted house type theme might be best.... kind of like Monster Bash... all the mosters share the spotlight... If you could somehow combine Haunted House with Scared Stiff. I will buy (and sneak it into my house)
Elvira? Original? Maybe 30 years ago. Obviously she's VERY popular and I'm clearly in the minority, but is this the best idea out there? A "campy" retread? What's next, another KISS pin? Why not Charo?
How about a Black Widow theme? Hot chick, spider/zombie babe metamorphosis, etc. dark, but dark humour too. Use Anne Hathaway. Now THAT works.

I love Anne Hathaway too... but Elvira rules!
Yep - I would love to see that pin - even if I am not a SS lover: I prefer EATPM.
But probably can't afford it, so I would have to convince rich friends around...
Elvira and the Creatures of the Dead: with guess appearances buy the Cryptkeeper, Pinhead, Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, Chucky, Michael Meyers, Pumpkinhead, Dracula, Mummies, hidden episodes of Tales from The Darkside, TZ, etc. A tribute to the old classic horror characters/shows which started the industry. At least it's better than another comic movie pin. I am waiting for a true original themed pin to come out but probably not likely to happen because it’s harder to market and don't get the big bucks for it. I heard JJP will make one eventually. On a side note anyone remember the blond hair girl named Ronda Shear who hosted the cheesy movies on USA and would say up all night. Kind of reminds me like an Elvira of movies as well.
Quoted from navajas:Sorry guys. I like big milky boobs and decolletage as much as the next guy, but for the amount of time, energy and money that goes into a new pin I think it should be directed towards a theme that; a) isn't a one note joke from the 80s (sorry, just never did much for me), and; b) doesn't already have two other machines.
I voted "yes", but that's damn-near impossible to disagree with.
You and that Freres guy know me well enough that I'd sell a kidney on ebay to see this game done! Hell... I'd even drink another Pabst or something.

Quoted from DennisNordman:Ah, I should have mentioned this. We are talking full blown modern game. Elvira is one character in this adventure game. Could be zombies, could be UFOs, could be monsters, could be Hello Kitty.
ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quoted from PW79:I would consider one... & a Three Stooges one too!
Dennis would do a great job with the Three Stooges theme. The funny images & sounds...perfect for pinball.
Talk about a dream post. I'll start saving now. The idea of Elvira humor, current hot subject matter like zombies, Greg, and Dennis sounds to good to be true.
For less than $5K, I'm in, for more than $5K, I'm out...Guess who came up with that limit. Your first clue is...NOT ME!
Quoted from Indypin:No Dennis, that would suck! That means I have to save my money and buy another NIB game. Okay...okay!

I might respond, and then again, I might not.
We'll have to ask Elvira what toys she would like to see...
Quoted from Old_Hutch:For less than $5K, I'm in, for more than $5K, I'm out...
I'm not saying it couldn't be under 5K, however with where the market is currently I think you should think higher then 5K. I know Skit are going against that trend but at the end of the day the demand is up and the prices are following.
Quoted from DennisNordman:I understand that there are people that won't be excited about an Elvira theme, and that's fine, you can't attract everyone. But, Monster Bash is old monsters, and Farsight and Pinball Arcade are full of old titles. We won't be rehashing EATPM or SS. It would be trendy and now.
Just tryin' to get you on our side.
So you're thinking of something like "Elvira's Bible Adventures" then? I'm in!
