    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)

    Quoted from epthegeek:

    Are you talking EM style like Whoa Nellie is? or a modern game?

    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.

    Quoted from davewtf:

    I would like you to complete the black water/whitewater trilogy.

    I've been think about Bathwater or Dishwater.

    Quoted from Winball_Pizard:

    Dennis making another Elvira?!?! Break a leg Dennis! Oh wait......

    Quoted from davewtf:

    Elvira's Bathwater, then. Kills two birds with one stone.

    You guys are killin' me!

    Quoted from beatmaster:

    i'm in, but something new, not a part two of something already done, something new, fresh!
    put zombie in there somewhere and boom instant sale!
    i'm so tired of music pin or super hero... please make this happen!

    Good thinkin' there, beatmaster! Nice braiiiiins!

    Quoted from frolic:

    I voted no. Not because the previous games aren't good, or that Elvira is/was not an interesting character, it's that pinball would be better served by going forward.
    So.... NEW pinball, Yes!
    Senior citizen lady who had her day..... respectfully, no.

    Understood and accepted. But remember, it's not about a senior citizen (hey! I'm one of those!) it's about a cool, vampy, campy character that we can create any environment and modern story that we want. Consider, Monster Bash- old monsters, WOZ-old story, AC/DC, Rolling Stones - old men, X-Men-old story, Avengers- old story, Twilight Zone and Adams Family - old stories and old people.

    Just sayin'.

    Quoted from CraigC:

    Break everyone out of the zombie nursing home

    Now that's funny, right there.

    How about the Macabre Mobile IN the Indy 500!

    Quoted from KrustyBurger:

    Dennis - dependent on the feedback you get from this forum & any other sources you may have consulted; do you plan to get back with us to let us know if you & Greg ultimately decide to make a run of it? And if you do decide to proceed, will you establish another social media account for updates, much like you did for WhizBang / Whoa, Nellie!?

    yes

    Quoted from Perspex:

    I'd like to see a DVD/book in the goodie bag filled with Freres art development along the way, behind the scenes photos/video, copies of communications, etc...everything you'd put into your blog but more, more, more.

    VERY interesting idea.

    Quoted from DCFAN:

    It seems like a Monster Bash Too would be a little more mainstream or appealing to a broader market. Elvira is not known by most under the age of about 30-35 years old. There are a lot of new people in the hobby that are a whole new generation brought in by the Farsight Williams Collection and Pinball Arcade.

    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.

    #82 11 years ago
    Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

    Game would turn out better if more difficult like EATME, while humor and graphics similar to SS. If based on current pictures of Casandra, game could be called Scared Straight. Older pics (those taken long ago, not pics of the older Elvira) would be best

    An Elvira game called EATME would rule!

    Quoted from Shapeshifter:

    Elvira, Aliens, Area 51 - throw it all together

    Now yer talkin'.

    #86 11 years ago
    Quoted from spfxted:

    Hah! YES! Elvira And The Monster Entourage! EATME!
    ...and $5K please...we want EVERYBODY...

    Gotta remember that one!

    Quoted from markmon:

    Dennis, the poll is flawed. I hate Elvira. I do not think she is funny or hot. I find her extremely irritating.
    But if you are making the game I would be extremely interested in buying it just for that reason alone. So if you're asking if I like Elvira, the answer is a strong NO. If you're asking if I'm interested in a new game made by you based on Elvira, that's a strong yes.
    Although I'd prefer a theme that didn't have Elvira...
    Btw, Dennis, much kudos to your design creativity. Every one of your designs is unique in itself. Most designers take elements they've put into other games and reuse them. Borg, Ritchie, Popadiuk, Gomez, etc. You can see similarities in one game to another from them. Your designs are totally unique and creative. Pirates is nothing like White Water is nothing like Indy 500 is nothing like Scared Stiff etc. You get my vote for most creative designer

    Thank you for noticing that. Much appreciated.

    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!

    Quoted from Indypin:

    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)

    I might respond, and then again, I might not.

    We'll have to ask Elvira what toys she would like to see...

    #156 11 years ago

    Thank you all for taking the time to voice your opinions (both for and against) concerning a new Elvira game. We don't have a target price yet, just testing the waters. We will keep you informed about any progress towards a decision.

    Quoted from BC_Gambit:

    MST3K... not really commercially viable but having custom voices to heckle the player at every turn would be awesome. Basically what they do with movies... only making fun of every borked shot, flail fest and drain.
    Heck, even having somebody sit there and chimp flip could garner some choice responses
    Hmm....

    Love this!

    Dennis
