Quoted from bigdaddy07:You missed the pre-order a couple weeks back
That would be my luck, here lately.

Besides, I would expect SPFX Ted to tip me off if I am out of circulation for a few weeks and something that monumental was goin down.

Oh gee...I've been so damn busy. Sorry about that! I did transfer some of it (great stuff). I'll try to get more done this weekend. I was even going to have a “pinball person” do the transcription, but forgot Dennis told me some of the stuff is not to be let out. Hmmm, maybe I'll see if the wife can help....

I can relate to that these days! Regardless, I look forward to it, whenever you get the chance to release it.
I'm in for a new Elvira anything! Scared Stiff is my girlfriend and mine'd favorite game. Love the humor, theme, rule-set, difficulty- a near perfect game. Just make sure you include the tassels this time around. (Full motion video back glass would be amazing!)

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.
This.
I love scared stiff- best callouts ever!
But if you're gonna make a new boobalicous pin- time to upgrade the boobs to about 40 years younger 
... Maybe Kate Upton or Christina Henricks as Elvira's granddaughter
Something shouldn't get remade.... this is one of them.
How about combining the babes (timeless) and zombies (currently hot) ... maybe a Resident Evil Pin?

We've been asking for that (Resident Evil) for years now. Its not going to happen, especially since the last movie was somewhat of a dud. I would have liked it to be after the games more but, would have taken the movies for the chicks no doubt about it.

Quoted from spfxted:Depends on who does it.
Anybody but Stern. I don't think they would do the artwork any justice.
Nordman and Freres are a must if Elvira 3 is going to be made.
Elvira even said it herself! No Dennis and Greg, no third game! I would also agree with her, it just wouldn't feel right to have some other team at the helm.
Quoted from NimblePin:Nordman and Freres are a must if Elvira 3 is going to get made.

Absolutely! If they weren't involved, it would probably be a deal breaker for me.

Here are a pair that are quite a bit younger...stays fairly true to the character

I remember, about 5 years ago when they were searching for the next Elvira. I don't know what ever became of the winner.

Quoted from lowepg:or Christina Henricks as Elvira's granddaughter
This would make me reconsider my original assessment.
Yes, yes, and yes!
Bob Redding: "I, ah... I can only play G-rated movies."
Elvira: "Oh well, there's nothing wrong with G-rated movies, as long as there's lots of sex and violence."
Another elvira would be so much fun
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Elvira and her monsters from the past: Pinhead, FREDDY, Chucky, Michael Meyers, Cryptkeeper, Rod Sterling, Alfred Hitchcock, etc. A littler of everything.
Man imagine if back in the day they made a pinball machine called pinhead?
Hello Dennis and Greg
Yes ! Yes and Yes again. Absolutely love the mistress of the dark. So does the whole family and everyone I know. One of the best themed games out there. Timeless just like Elvira / Cassandra herself. She was on the Kount Kustoms TV show recently and time has not touched her...WOW ! Is all you can say... ahem. Please make another! I would ante up for sure. Make it a widebody and throw everything into it and I am sure there will be a long line of customers. Hotties, horror and pinball go hand in hand.
I am sure you and your 'crew' will turn this into a masterpiece. I for one cannot wait to go on another adventure.
Best regards and 'Thank you boys!' ha ha

Quoted from Honch:I remember, about 5 years ago when they were searching for the next Elvira. I don't know what ever became of the winner.
The winner, April, only did one or two appearances as Elvira after that. She is no longer affiliated with Elvira.
Yes there is only one but I think this chick has a couple of redeeming assets

I take this post back. After seeing the comic book style artwork of Metallica (it rules), I have some new found faith in Stern and believe they could pull it off. Ultimately it would still have to be Greg's artwork and it looks like they would give him the sort of flexibility he would need to flesh it out. Pun intended, BTW.
Quoted from spfxted:I already have the website registered! EATME
Ha! Should we put a tilt warning on that? A pinball machine and domain name for a 3rd Elvira installment named: "eat me".
Quoted from NimblePin:Nordman and Freres are a must if Elvira 3 is going to be made.
Agreed!
Dennis, as others have mentioned, some cult-culture classics will never really fade away. I was still a baby when Cassandra's 'Elvira' character was just getting started and I still love all her old stuff, and the new stuff, today. As others mentioned, a mix of Elvira with all the fun modern "scary stuff" like zombies (thinking about funny types of zombies like in plants-vs-zombies video game) would be great. Imagine all the potential for funny dialogue between Elvira and the zombies!!
With all the new modern day gadgetry you guys can have so much fun designing features in this game. e.g., a trapped ball can land in, and ride around the playfield in Elvira's black Thunderbird. More modern-style "deadheads" (I've read some were left out of SS due to ROM space limits..). It can be a really fun "dark" or "night time" theme. "Elvira and her (un)pleasant dreams" ?? Guess you've already thought about it - you could even ask Cassandra for her all time favorite scary movies (or old funny B-movies) and incorporate some of those themes into the game (with the new full-color displays, depending on licensing fees, there can even be short clips and quotes from the movies..).
In my book, Elvira is definitely a winner. It's not often there's such a mix of wit, charm, sexiness, cheekiness, appeal - to a wide audience (my wife loves playing SS) - and all around fun, all bottled up in one character. Perfect material to use on a modern pin!
So YES. I'm interested too, and would sign up to be on the list of buyers for the first wave of deliveries.
cheers,
Tommy
PS : my first pin was SS. (actually just bought it last month!)
