Have owned both - SS lasted about 6 months. I GREATLY preferred the gameplay, shots and ramps of EATPM but the call-outs in SS are waaaaaaay better. It just wasn’t a keeper for me

Quoted from northvibe:

Depends on what you are going for.
I love scared stiff. Everything about it. I was told ehoh was better, played it, didn’t like it, shoots okay, but doesn’t have the innuendos, or feel of Elvira, it is literally, a game where Elvira is there but isn’t the focal point. So if you like code and rules, maybe ehoh is better…. But if you want Elvira then scared stiff

I think this is the best take on these games. In SS, Elvira is *definitely* the focus. EHOH is an eerily accurate revue of the original Movie Macabre tv show - which she hosted - but was not exactly the focus. Really spot on observation.

Would love to get EATPM some day, I’ve only ever played virtual versions of it, enjoyed it quite a bit. Still dramatically prefer EHOH over SS, partly because I connect with the original “horror host” Elvira vs the later Coors Light / Mistress of the Dark version of the character (even though both are awesome)
