Red herring. It's Greasy Strangler.
I think Spooky is going to knock this one out of the park. If there is a Hunt mode where Myers is chasing you down (maybe on a hurry up) and with the music and lighting could get your blood pumping. This has got to be the "DREAM THEME" for spooky. Its what this company is all about. Big congrats and best of luck to a great bunch of people and a great company!
Literal killer theme for Spooky! I'm glad they went with this over Nightmare. The soundtrack is going to be incredible.
Anyone know who the lead designer and coder are on this one? I'm assuming that Bowen is on rule design?
Quoted from 6S3NC3:Well we know now that its Halloween!!
Lets all yell and scream for pics/art now.
Franchi art maybe?

Love you, Spooky, but I don’t think this is one for me.
Glad to know that they’re going to sell out instantly regardless of what a few non-fans of the theme do. Good luck with the release, Spooky! I’ll renew my Fang Club again for next year in hopes that the next game is one I like.
Quoted from Beechwood:I Fucking LOVE Halloween (the holiday) so its a CE for me!
tell me they are gonna do the le ce thing now
Is that Dr Loomis narrating the game at the end of the trailer...
I've had a few ideas for things I'd like to see in the game. I'd like to see a version where the player is Myers chasing people around, but I'm thinking it's going to be more Myers chasing the player around the playfield and randomly attacking them in a multi level house like environment.
Maybe some of the mechs are things like cellar doors opening to pop a ball out, an ambulance toy that Myers breaks out of, a slashing knife, a place to hide in a closet, a tombstone that goes up and down, a jack-o-lantern ball lock
I'm always hyped to see a new pin and really want to know what those in/out lane mechs are.
Quoted from Beechwood:Tell us WTF the side cabinet art pic was!!! We need to know lol
Picture of young Michael Myers's Castle Grayskull toy
I think it’s going to be a wait and see before I pull the trigger on this one. Out of the scary trifecta Halloween is my least favorite but spooky will do it justice I am sure.
I'm sure this will be another smash hit, but I really hope we see an Evil Dead pin someday in the future
Quoted from robotron:tell me they are gonna do the le ce thing now
You haven't heard? Standard, Blood suckers, CE
I am sure they are going to bring some killer atmosphere to this game. I am not a big fan of the Halloween series. I'd rather have F13 since I feel like it translates better to games in general. But I am eagerly awaiting the reveal. This is a truly adult theme which I commend Spooky for. Enough of the child themes. We all know adults play pinball.
Perfect theme for Spooky, congrats.
Haven’t told the wife yet, but I already know she is going to want one.

It is still ok, my 3 year old son already said he wants it. Halloween is supposed to be scary not cute. Kids should know this from an early age!

F13 and Halloween basically are the same thing. You can go into all the tiny details that might make them different, but they aren't. 2 guys who don't talk walking around in a mask killing people. People screaming, someone finally 'defeating' them until the next movie. So..I would say one isn't any worse than the other.
Where at? Will def dump some quarters
Quoted from Nikalou:buying a collector's edition and putting it on location in Detroit! so excited!! I've wanted a John Carpenter pinball (any movie) ever since I got into the hobby!!
Quoted from cloggedDrain:I’d rather have the Golden Girls
both those themes may as well be Golden Shower.

They are both slashers, but they’re worlds apart.
You root for Jason in F13. He kills a bunch of scantily clad idiots in weird, creative ways. When there’s a kill, the audience cheers. Same for Nightmare.
Not so with Halloween. You’re rooting against Michael Myers. No cheers when there’s a kill because the tone is serious and scary.
I love Spooky, but I wonder how they’re going to control the narrative of this game. I’m sure the layout and art will be stellar.
Awesome. This theme is all about atmosphere. Can't wait for the full gameplay reveal.
PS: The Franchi pinball art would be perfect.

I mean, I guess you can distill most horror movies down to something similar especially when they are in the same slasher sub-genre. But they aren't they aren't the same at all.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:both those themes may as well be Golden Shower.
That's the Wizard Mode in the Upcoming On Golden Pond pin.
Happy for you Spooky, but I'm still waiting for a theme that I'd be into. I'm really hoping it's fun, I want to play it, but I already know I don't need to own it. Maybe the next game...
been waiting like everyone else.
pretty disappointed in the theme, but excited to see what they do and how well it plays!
Dang, I’m legit shocked. Perhaps that’s my own bias, as I was never even into Halloween even in my horror-loving youth. I was more of a Freddy, Chucky, Hellraiser type. I liked villains that were outlandish. Halloween just seemed boring….but, it clearly has a fanbase - and it’s a theme that’s never been done. My wife is a huge fan & Halloween is our daughter’s birthday - so, might still go for it.
Quoted from Palmer:I mean, I guess you can distill most horror movies down to something similar especially when they are in the same slasher sub-genre. But they aren't they aren't the same at all.
I've never been a slasher fan, so that's how I categorize them. I don't find them scary at all, just dumb people. I will concede what Mudflaps said regarding who gets killed making a difference in who you are routing for, but I just always found it pretty...average. Not that I haven't seen them all lol.
That being said Halloween is 2nd in line to my wifes favorite movies to Evil Dead so we might still be in for a pre-order.
Quoted from Zablon:Jokes on us all again. It's based on Halloween III only. I'm in.
Would have been a cool way to to do the gameplay reveal with countdown the "__ more day's to Halloween" song each morning.

I think it also really changes the style of the game and the key difference should be the player is being chased or is doing the chasing.
Mike Myers chasing around the player in a haunted maze like house seems natural. And being Jason and laying out vices and traps to kill teens around a summer camp would be really neat.
I'm glad they at least confirmed the theme. Now we'll only get a couple Scooby Doo requests a day. Look forward to seeing these mechs and an upper-upper playfield.

Check out Rob Zombies Halloween . Deff scary and disturbing
Quoted from robotron:tell me they are gonna do the le ce thing now
Standard no options.
LE is all the a la cart options from previous releases
CE is all options plus a bit extra And a topper.
Quoted from Hench4Life:Where at? Will def dump some quarters
Offworld Arcade, it should be reopening this month! Just moved TNA and R&M up there last week - the rest of the pinball there isn't mine (although I will tech on it)
Here to voice my disappointment in the theme but also say that a pin can be INCREDIBLE regardless of personal interest in theme so...I’ll be interested to see the layout / rules and some code.
Quoted from holden1090:Check out Rob Zombies Halloween . Deff scary and disturbing
I saw them..Didn't care for them at all. Really the only Zombie movies I've liked are 1000 corpses and Devils Rejects. 3 From Hell was okay...
Imagine if they flip it and you play as Michael Myers. That could be a lot of fun. Or make it a wizard mode?
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:great news, just saved $10K lol
withOUT switching to Geico!
Awesome, been waiting for them to reopen. I got R&M on free play, but I’ll go give your TNA some money
