Quoted from bigdaddy07:Not quite. How is that relevant anyway? Just because the actress that plays a sexy iconic character ages we are supposed to cast anything that references to that charter to the refuse bin?
Right!
How old would be Marylin Monroe now? Isn't she still an iconic figure?
I loved staying up late with my siblings as a kid watching Elvira on the weekend. She's still around too.
Every time I see this thread title I sit up a little bit, and then realize it's the same old thread of dying dreams, and I die a little inside too. 
I think R.W was on the right track, Elvira and the Haunted House seems like a good direction. Personally I would rather see a Haunted House theme and maybe just pay homage to Elvira as one of the characters, but not as the main theme.
BTW, SS is one of my all time favorites
Quoted from NYP:Elvira and the Haunted House seems like a good direction
Quoted from vid1900:Elvira vs the Zombies would be sweet.
I think this is what's great about Elvira as a theme for pins. It can literally be combined with anything associated with the horror genre.
Quoted from ChoppaCade:I have a feeling this theme could turn up as a "Heighway Pinball" model
Man, do I hope you're right!! I actually have never heard of Heighway Pinball, before.
Quoted from vid1900:Elvira vs the Zombies would be sweet.
Gets my vote as well, this would be Thrilling. Black and white theme with green fog effect leds.
Quoted from spfxted:Elvira is just a character, much like Bond, Superman, etc....they don't age
It's amazing how many times this has to be explained.
Quoted from Honch:It's amazing how many times this has to be explained.
I know. OMG...we can't make a James Bond machine!!...Sean Connery looks so old!! 
Quoted from Honch:Connery is still the best Bond ever.
Sorry, it's Craig now. Bond should always have been a darker character, it isn't some cartoon job.
Quoted from shimoda:Sorry, it's Craig now
Never seen any of his Bond movies. I'll have to check them out.
Craig is a great Bond, possibly even my favorite, he's the most accurate to the book version IMHO. Casino Royale was really amazingly faithful to the novel.
I can't stand Craig as bond. I stopped watching the new movies because of him and the horrible new writing.
Quoted from Linolium:I can't stand Craig as bond. I stopped watching the new movies because of him and the horrible new writing.
Have you read Casino Royale? Seriously, the movie is super faithful to the book, if you don't like it (your prerogative) then you're not really a fan of the original James Bond IMHO.
Quoted from Linolium:I can't stand Craig as bond. I stopped watching the new movies because of him and the horrible new writing.
Are you talking about all three of his Bond films or just QOS? If just the second, you should know that was written during the writers' strike.
Wouldn't it be interesting if a new Elvira took the place of the original like they have done with Bond? Any opinions and suggestions for a replacement?
Quoted from Aurich:Casino Royale was really amazingly faithful to the novel.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Wouldn't it be interesting if a new Elvira took the place of the original like they have done with Bond?
They tried something like that a few years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Search_for_the_Next_Elvira
She's hand drawn, no need to find a new one, she's essentially ageless. I don't want an impostor's voice anyways, real deal or go home.
OOH I'M HAVING MULTIPLE JACKPOTS! 
Quoted from CptAwesomest:Craig would make a horrible Elvira
You're right he doesn't have the "Girls" or the legs to pull it off
Still holding out hope for this title. I will bump this thread every once in a while, just to keep it in the public conscience. 
Yes yes yes !!! I agree. Elvira is a timeless theme...and monster pins are amoung the most popular of all time.
Quoted from mickthepin:You know maybe we shouldn't give up hope. If you had asked anyone on this tread if a remake of MM will ever happen it would have been a resounding, unfortunately No Way
That is exactly why I think anything in pinball is possible at this point in time.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Wouldn't it be interesting if a new Elvira took the place of the original like they have done with Bond? Any opinions and suggestions for a replacement?
Just get that YouTube Cosplay chick. Damn she is cute and does pretty well at keeping true to the boobs and cornyness.
Quoted from spfxted:but a couple things happened at the time to kill it.
Ted, can you expand on that at all? I know licensing costs were an issue, but was there anything else?
Quoted from spfxted:It WAS being discussed, but a couple things happened at the time to kill it. Ya never know...it could be brought up again....
Would make collecting the Elvira series even more desirable if a new Elvira pin was announced, the Luci has proved that there is still a market for T&A themed pins and Elvira is less in your face than Luci (so to speak) with added horror elements to boot. Winner I'd say.
Quoted from spfxted:but Stern should be all over this!
I don't know if Stern would give this title the effort it would deserve. And you're right, JJ would never do this theme, it's not family friendly.
Quoted from Honch:I don't know if Stern would give this title the effort it would deserve. And you're right, JJ would never do this theme, it's not family friendly.
I grew up in the 80s...and I remember watching elvira all the time... it is more family friendly than a beach, where you will see more boobs and hear worse language. PLUS it can have a family mode. I say go for it jj!
