That actually did come out in comics didn't it?

Yes. They made it into a comic book instead.

Exactly this!

Evil Dead 2, then Army of Darkness. If you enjoyed that ride, then watch Ash Vs. Evil Dead series. Once you are a full fan, then go watch Evil Dead 1 and the remake...

And just a note... Even if Evil Dead 2 is not completely your cup of tea, STILL watch Army of Darkness after. While it follows the ED2 story, it can stand on its own and is actually more of a Medieval slapstick comedy, while ED2 is more of a horror comedy. So, related but different.

Yeah, I think they did quite a few of the "Ash vs." comics. How crazy would it be if you could link the next two Spooky games together to unlock some secret bonus mode. Let's say it's Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Evil Dead, a two-player chainsaw battle mode played simultaneously on both games could be crazy.

PS: Probably a licensing issue, but still. I'm ready to join the Spooky brainstorm team.

And then after you’ve watched them all, you will (a) watch one or more of them annually and (b) drop one-liners to your wife like “gimme some sugar, baby” as foreplay. This leads to a lot of “eye rolling”from wife which you will feed off of. You will then purchase a bunch of Evil Dead/AoD shit that you don’t need which will lead to a lot more “eye rolling”. The cycle continues and her respect for you erodes as she says “does anybody even watch these movies? “. But alas, you will be vindicated as you wheel the New Spooky pinball into your game room and say “Hail to the king, baby “. She will drop into your arms with lust in her eyes.

Lol, likewise, except my wife is a bigger Evil Dead fan than me. She basically said if Spooky releases an ED game, we're getting it.

"Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?"

And when talking one liners to the wife, how can one forget "First you want to kill me, now you want to kiss me. Blow."

So many great one liners forever etched into the walls of my mind!

Whatever they wanna make, - hell i'm in, cause it'll be 100% more exciting than another commercial Star Wars or Marvel !
I like the story of Spooky and to support serious work & products with love inside.

I mean it when I say that I REALLY hope they do not make Evil Dead / AoD right now. I have limited space (already 1 game over) and just forked out a buttload of money to HEP and made final payment on R&M in March. I really do not want to sell any pins at the moment. ED/AoD is a 100% must buy for me and it will force me to sell some games before I want to.

SS is already close to going out the door and ACNC would be the next to go even though I absolutely love that game! But for fuck's sake, it's Evil Dead/Army of Darkness. Sacrifices will have to be made. I really want Spooky to make it, but maybe in a year or so... lol

DUMP WOZ

Yeah...

I bought that as a gift for the wife and it is bolted to the floor. It's her baby. Otherwise, it would go before ACNC for sure. But alas. Happy wife, happy life. I can rotate the other titles as I see fit although she is surprisingly in love with R&M now, as am I. 1st world problems...

Someone needs to make this its own film

And when they do make Evil Dead, the $2k topper better be a possessed dear head.

It’s Spooky, they throw in the topper for free.

gawdamm....i would totally pay for this

So….they, like…make enough accessories so that everyone with a machine can get one on their machine? Or have the option to add one to their machine later?
This makes no sense.

For Rick and Morty, the topper was included with the machine. nothing to purchase separately

I don't think that will be the norm going forward. Seemed to be a concession/thanks for them selling out so quickly

Ever been to Lawrence's in Benton? They might have enough taxidermy deer mounts to go with each game. While there you can also order a Spooky pizza.

Bubba Ho-Tep anyone?

Since the company name is Spooky. I think they'll go the opposite direction. Something more serene. Like My Little Pony. Pinball Is Magic.

LTG : )

Nothing is free.

Of course not, but they included it in at no additional charge.

I think they should do Predator to throw a wrench into the Alien sales and kick some ass with that!

I know it has been mentioned... but they live pinball, UV kit, great callouts and maybe a bubble gum dispenser?

This topper was.

I paid spooky for a pinball machine and got one. They gave me and 749 other people a topper that wasn’t included in the price of the pinball machine.

So yeah, it was free.

I think it'll be either Akira or Kaiju (Godzilla, Gamera, etc). There was that news story where Charlie went to Japan to talk to a licensor, right?

THEY LIVE would be incredible. Definitely up there with Army of Darkness as far as dream themes.

They Live was cool. Would be a good theme.

Hoping that the theme is dark whatever it ends
Up being!!

I’d buy a My Little Pony pinball. I think my daughter would love that theme, she watches the show on a regular basis.

They Live. Spooky make it happen.

On the next title, I wonder if Spooky will go back to the dual wound coils that they used on their games before R&M for stable flipper hold with no dives, dips, and recoveries like I see with my R&M? I'm not happy with the flipper hold (or lack of) with the single wound coils on my R&M, despite messing with settings EOS gaps for what seems like hours.

Does anyone else share this same concern? Eh... probably not.

Hope it’s one of these ....

+1 for They Live! Fits in with what's going on in life today.

WITH 13 BALL MULTI-BALL

Didn't anyone else catch the real clues?

It's Beetlejuice, like I have been saying for a year.

What were the real clues? God I hope you’re right!
I’m crossing everything hoping this next release is beetlejuice and not the Ben Heck CGC one that’s coming after.
If it’s Beetlejuice next I’m in straight away without question.

Did they say more better, 3 times?

At the 1:03 mark of the video, it's said three times between Charlie and Bug and then again at 3:43 mark. Nice work!!!

Well damn, I need to start making space!

Haha yeah, They Live has fit in with basically any US current events since the 1980s and today. Definitely part of what makes it such a great flick.

They absolutely need to address this and I believe they will. I prefer that they switch to dual wound myself but if they want to use single wound coils but they HAVE TO make them operate more efficiently in the coding.
And if they could, you think they would have on RAM right now. It’s possible, maybe they ought to dig into Sterns Spike 2 code to see how they handle it (although, I’m sure even they could make it more efficient if they tried)

Nice catch! Nice catch! Nice catch!

Here’s how I see a Friday the 13 pin

It should have three independent game types embedded a la TMNT coop or JPs Escape Nublar Mini mode:

Play as Jason alone (single player) single timed ball game where you have to kill all the campers. Jason can obtain multis by breaking team ups by campers. Plays like Safecracker basically.

Play as a camper (single player) you team up with other campers by ripping spinner to collect 1. Pop bumper hits for 2. Ramp shots for 3 etc and total number of campers collected are reflected in the number of balls in various multi modes. As you drain balls your camper dies. Jason can also kill campers/balls in lock position if his moving insert captures them at a ball lock position. ( Jason moves like Dinosaurs in JP, quicker and more random by how agitated he is)

Finally...

CO-OP MODE: one player plays as Jason. Single timed ball ( playable time is determined by the campers ball times ) Jason can steal multiballs by break team ups but is granted no easily obtainable multiball. Campers are played by up to 5 other players, who can team up in game against Jason with whomever they collect with Team Up shots. Jason should be played by the most advanced player in your group, and noobs should be collected quickly by more advanced camper players so they don’t get picked off.

Could you IMAGINE how addictive that game play would be?!?!?

Does this reference Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice tho or KLATU VERATA NIKTO?!?! Beetlejuice doesn’t really sing “stacked and loaded” to me..but Army of Darkness sure as hell does. And Charlie confirmed that
“Stacked and Loaded” was the hint.

none of them.
i really think Scooby doo could be a winner, humour and ghost/haunted house theme could be great and more family

Although I would like a Scooby Doo as well I will say that spooky does not have to make a family friendly theme. They only make a limited amount of games that will surely sell out regardless. So, they can really do whatever they want. They’re not trying to move 10,000+ units here. They’re not stern so that’s why they don’t have to rely on superheroes cartoons and other highly palatable themes but the general public respond to. That’s part of what makes Spooky great! Great things come from doing what you love…

Been awhile since I watched Army of Darkness so what does "stacked and loaded" have to do with the movie?

Well “loaded” definitely references ashes shotgun when he calls his “boom stick”. “Stacked” could reference a few things... possibly the bosom of the heroine in the film or the fact that Ash lost his hand and has a chainsaw in place of it...effectively “stacked” on his arm

Man, you guys can take anything and turn it into Evil Dead.
