I have to join the Fang club now. I had zero interest in a Spooky pin and saw post about possibly being Scooby Doo, my wife said I want that! We both grew up with Scooby and this would be a dream. Give me just season one from the original show and I will be happier than Shaggy in a malt shop with unlimited burgers and pizza.

How do I join the fang club?

#284 3 years ago
Quoted from SLCpunk2113:

My money is on Beetlejuice for reasons I’ve stated previously. We shall see. Reveal should be soon I’d guess.

It’s not Beetlejuice. Listen to his description again. Key words in his description was colorful, fun, vibrant, and joyous theme. He said the theme made you smile, makes a lot of people laugh, and it’s always been around. He also said it’s not as hot as RM, but it’s a property that’s been around and has a fan base thats been around for generations. BJ does not fit Kaneda’s description.

People generally refer to watching something on tv growing up. I did not watch Star Wars growing up. I love Star Wars and saw it when I was growing up. BJ is a movie and how he described it, it sounds like a tv show.

SD came out in 1969= generations watched it. BJ came out in 1988, Not generations watching it. SD had many many versions of the cartoon since 1969. BJ had a cartoon from 1989 to 1991. Generations did not grow up watching it.

No way it’s BJ. The way Kaneda described it is exactly how my wife would have described the SD cartoon. And that’s what she told me after she listened to his description.

Joined fang club and will get an LE.

When I read this I immediately thought of
Looney Tunes
[quoted image]
Makes sense for them to additionally have Ben Heck & Chicago Gaming on this title.
Road runner hitting the outer orbits for speed trying to avoid Wiley coyote . The Road Runner / Wiley coyote in game ACME traps / anvils can be cool, the humor, tweety mode random call out “I thought I saw a puddy cat” with Sylvester popping out from the playfield and you need to bash him. “should have made a left turn at albuquerque“ Bugs ball lock. When you finally drain “Thabadadabahdaadabbaa That’s all folks” on the LCD. You can have a ton of content on the LCD constantly showing throughout the game. Yosemite Sam shooting drop target mode. Marvin the Martian can taunt you with his call outs. You play Elmer Fudd hunting rabbits / duck season. Pepe Le Pew game mode has a smell mode where it releases a skunk smell. Tasmanian Devil shaker mode total chaos going on. Speedy Gonzales multiplier increases speed as you hit the spinner. Foghorn Leghorn call outs , Daffy Duck call outs.

He said it’s spooky but not horror. How does bugs bunny fit that?

#299 3 years ago
Quoted from thedarkknight77:

It’s Gremlins............That being said, I hope they secure Beetle Juice for down the road.

How is gremlins colorful? Gremlins hasn’t been enjoyed by generations per se. SD has been around since 1969. You can’t pick out adjectives and ignore others in what he said. It all has to fit and make sense.

#310 3 years ago

How are people getting looney tunes from the clues? When has looney tunes been described as spooky but not horror?

#326 3 years ago
Quoted from finnflash:

This also means you assume he knows what he is talking about, which I doubt he does.

But everyone is going by the clues he said. So everyone including me is assuming but at least try to assume correctly.

#327 3 years ago
Quoted from onemilemore:

So my daughter and I whiteboarded a Scooby Doo pin a couple months back.
-Drop targets that spell out TRAP then lock a ball under the shooter lane
- A giant sandwich bash toy
- Mystery Machine model breaking through the back panel
- Meddling Kids Multiball
So much content to work with on this theme. Just wonder if the licensing fee is attainable.

I am sure it’s attainable. LZ was attainable and that’s not an easy license to get. There is a lot of SD merchandise out there.

I do not want action figures of the gang though. I would rather have killer artwork from the original series but with a more detail in the paint. The Mystery Machine Toy would be ok with a sticker of the gang on the windshield in it.

A Scooby Snack Wizard mode after you solve each case and unmask the ghost would be cool. So many possibilities like you said.

#355 3 years ago

Once announced in June, how long before pins start shipping?

#357 3 years ago
Quoted from EalaDubhSidhe:

It's Scooby-Doo. The lastest Kaneda episode has all but confirmed it short of stating the actual title flat out loud.

I know, I just did not feel like getting flamed by mentioning his name.

#360 3 years ago
Quoted from EalaDubhSidhe:

Especially if they anticipate the same Rick & Morty sellout rush.

How soon after did they start production and ship once the presale sell out? Thank you

#362 3 years ago
Quoted from Pinball-Obsessed:

Whatever new title they have/announce... hopefully they have some built already and ready to ship out.
That would be awesome.

Yeah it would. But wouldn’t mind a delay since I have to pay for EHOH.

#366 3 years ago
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

my money is on [quoted image]

That’s a killer looking cabinet. I joined fang club to get early access to order if it’s SD.

#388 3 years ago
Quoted from gonzo73:

If you want the next Spooky game, your gonna have to pay attention and call them the morning it goes on sale, R&M sold out 750 in a few hours.
If its SD, sounds like they can up the production to 1000.
I'm still pulling for Big Trouble in Little China, but my hope's are fading.
I'll pass on Scooby. Hope it's awesome though.
It would be a huge licence for Spooky.
That's 1000 premium priced pin's, Stern won't be selling, which is all to the good.

So you have to order by phone only to preorder? And do they charge sales tax also?

Quoted from MattElder:

Agreed, but to be fair to Spooky, Jetsons was a contract game... designed by others and built by them. I'm sure they would have done the theme justice had they actually been able to design it.

That is fair, but I wouldn’t want my name anywhere near or on Jetsons. I would put a huge disclaimer, we only put it together and we had zero input in the design. Jetsons makes the SW the pin look like an LE.

#390 3 years ago
Quoted from Calfdemon:

You can order by phone or *TRY* to order online. But they were so bombarded with orders online for R&M when the window opened that their server pretty much slowed to a crawl and just about crashed. Yes, they charge sales tax, but you can also order from an authorized distributor and there are some who may not charge tax.. Just saying...

So some distributors will get some then? I assume those are just standard editions and in order to get yours customized like R&M bloodsucker edition you need to go directly through Spooky. Thanks for your help. I don’t want to miss out in case it is Scooby Doo, my wife would not be happy.

#393 3 years ago
Quoted from Calfdemon:

No, you can get any options and all editions through any of Spooky's distros also... They sell direct and through distributors such as PinballSTAR, Kingpin, and others. There is a list of their distributors somewhere. Maybe on Spooky's site. But when the order window opens, you can order from anyone of them.

Ok great. Thank you! That sales tax can be a killer. I will do some research and see what distributors are out there. Are a certain allotment set aside for distributors of the total once the early preorder goes live?

#395 3 years ago
Quoted from Completist:

I don’t know that Spooky has to collect sales tax from out of state customers any different than distributors do. How it was explained to me was a distributor can sell “x” dollars worth to customers in any given State and once that is exceeded they have to collect it. That’s not something i made up, just passing along that tidbit of info i was told.
Now i don’t work for the IRS, nor am i an accountant. Nor do i give a shit what anyone does. but i think it’s worthwhile to mention that sales tax on new pins is always payable. Its a matter of if the seller collects and remits on your behalf or if you have to self declare and pay the taxes to your own State when you do your taxes. The latter of course being at your own discretion.

I didn’t pay sales tax on my BKSOR, STh, or MBr since they were purchased out of state. Certain states require sales tax to be collected and some don’t. So no need to report it. If I went to pick it up in the other state, I would have to. Some distributors charge sales tax per their states tax laws.

#397 3 years ago
Quoted from lpeters82:

Scooby Doo is a near perfect theme for pinball. If it comes with a full license it will be a huge hit.

It should. I can’t imagine they will limit the license. There is so much Scooby Doo merchandise out there. It’s a grail pin I didn’t even know I wanted. If done hopefully they pull from the original series first two years. So iconic.

#419 3 years ago
Quoted from drfrightner:

I was told by someone who knows someone who has played the game its NOT Scooby Doo and they're not going to make the same mistake again and limit the run at 750. I'll bet right now they come out and say its limited to 1,000 this time around. Even if it is Scooby Doo that is an awesome theme and makes sense for them. Then you have to ask yourself is it based on the latest cgi based 'Scoob' movie, original cartoons, the live action films... that is a wide net there.
So what would you rather see if its scooby, the new CGI movie, live action films, or original cartoons.

No way based on the movies. Original series or bust for me. No vegan Shaggy thank you.

#422 3 years ago
Quoted from EalaDubhSidhe:

Vegan Shaggy was so they could get Casey Kasem back to voice him.

Still don’t want Shaggy eating salads and veggie burgers. Give me 1969 Scooby Doo.

#432 3 years ago
Quoted from oneballjab:

Kaneda says not Scooby Doo now, he said he’s hearing it’s a horror theme.
I like his podcast but personally I think this time he hasn’t got a Scooby Doo (Clue) what it is, he’s just grabbing at straws!
Fingers crossed for Little Shop Of Horrors, Evil Dead or Beetlejuice.

Well that sucks arse that it’s not Scooby Doo. I was doubtful but was still hoping. Well at least it was not too expensive to join the Fang Club. Well will wait for Godzilla and my EHOH. What a bummer, Scooby Doo would be an awesome game.

#434 3 years ago

That’s really nice of you NOT! Such wonderful and kind people in this hobby.

#457 2 years ago

So has Scooby Doo been debunked? Cardy said it was when he replied to my comment on YouTube.

#459 2 years ago
Quoted from vilant:

Besides hoping for a WOOLY that'll never happen, I think Nightmare Before Christmas would be a great family friendly Spooky theme

Hell yeah it would. Wish June would just get here.

#516 2 years ago

For those who joined the Fang Club, how long before you received your items? Still pissed no Scooby. :/

#520 2 years ago
Quoted from Tablewicked:

I joined the club the other week, it says on there website that it ships once per year after April 30th-August 1st. I’m very excited to see what’s coming!

Damn once per year?? I thought the post office was slow. Thanks for the information.

#534 2 years ago

I want Scooby.

#547 2 years ago
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

For Spooky’s second pin this year would I rather see TNA2 or a new title? Scooby-Doo or Beatlejuice or Scary Movie or Peewee’s Playhouse, have been denied as first release of 2021. Could one of them be Spooky’s second pin?

Beetlejuice or Scooby Doo would be amazing and at this point TNA 2.0 would be a major disappointment for me. If it was Beetlejuice Spooky might as well have an ATM machine put in their factory.

#580 2 years ago
Quoted from onemilemore:

You know who likes their sandwiches stacked and loaded?

[quoted image]

I still have a little hope for Scooby Doo. And they do like their sandwiches stacked and loaded.

Go watch some porn and get it out of your system lol.

#725 2 years ago
Quoted from Rockytop:

I haven't been following this thread, so sorry if this has been mentioned, but is there any consensus on what the next game is?

We know it’s not TNA 2.0 and it’s going to be a pinball. Other than that????

#857 2 years ago

Going back to add Scooby Doo to the list again. Come on Spooky!! This would be a killer pin.

#864 2 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

A cartoon about 3 kids, a pothead, and a talking dog driving around in a van?? Hard pass for me...
/s

Hard buy for me. Scooby has many generations of fans and is still popular today with cartoons still being made. It will sell even though a hard pass for you.

#869 2 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

You need to read back a few pages also note the '/s'.

I know Scooby rumor has been proven false, I still want one. I am allowed to dream and Scooby is still very popular today regardless of haters. Myself grew up watching Scooby in the early 70’s even till today with my wife and kids. It would sell very well.

#1232 2 years ago
Quoted from stefanmader:

i sense the love for Deeproot is not great here... what have they done?

They are nowhere near releasing a pin and took peoples money. And offer store credit in case they can’t make it.

#1236 2 years ago
Quoted from stefanmader:

oh. i understand. thank you

No problem.

#1444 2 years ago

I do know one thing, most of us will be wrong. Flashbacks of the Stern puzzle teaser that wasn’t a pin but an actual puzzle.

#1449 2 years ago
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

Spooky isn’t nearly as crass as Stern… I’m sure this is a photo of the actual cabinet.

I know, but my point was that everyone was wrong. So many wild guesses and speculation.

#1473 2 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

Actually..Hold my beer. Someone already mentioned this (and I've been looking)...but..give me a few.
So...I dunno, but upon close examination...I think we might have a winner. Those aren't stones, and that isn't purple. It's tire tread, and that purple area is the outside of the next row of tread discoloration/shadowed.[quoted image]

It looks like tire tread but it is not an exact match, close, but different enough, and also similar enough. Also can be a boot.

#1527 2 years ago
Quoted from Calfdemon:

I guess I was just born a few years too early (1970). He-Man does nothing for me. I remember it being on, but never watched it and had no interest in it. I think it was just below my age bracket at the time. But I know it was popular as there were lots of toys and the show was on for a long time if I remember correctly. Same way I feel about TMNT. Nada...
I am sure Spooky would do it justice and would be a hot seller for them, but theme is a big thing for me and MOTU does not interest me in the least. Which of course is fine, because then I would not have to move a pin I don't want to sell... lol

Born in 1971 and I watched it with my brother who was born in 1975. He-Man after my time. I highly doubt it’s going to be He-man. Just my opinion.

-1
#1586 2 years ago

For me He-man makes no sense. Is there a resurgence in popularity that I have missed?? Scooby Doo still has cartoons being made and that would be a fun theme and game. I just don’t see a He-man pin making any sense at this time or ever.

#1686 2 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Scooby Doo would be an enormous seller. Inter-generational appeal worldwide up the wazoo. 1,000 would not be nearly enough.
Of course this is assuming it's like Rick and Morty plus and not their contract Jetsons sad-sack effort.

I am still holding some hope for Scooby. It would sell very well. Many here argue that, but is an iconic franchise that has been around for 50 years and for many generations.

#1748 2 years ago
Quoted from punkin:

Agreed, but most of the people in bars are younger people in my experience. At least in Australia, the older generations put their money in stinking fucking poker machines (slots). They are in every bar, pub and social club across the country.
There are plenty of recognizable themes that are not from our childhood, TWD is one of the best pinball machines out there. Nostlagia is ok i guess, but i listen to modern music and watch new release movies.
Loved Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple when i was a kid, but i wouldn't go to see those old cunts thrashing the same songs from 40 years ago if i got free tickets. Rather see an up and coming band.
It was all about the new music back then, but people forget that.
I can only think that us old guys are their primary target market, and i think that should change before we all die.
In any case, us progressive's are certainly in the minority, so I'll let you get back to your stroll through your happy childhood.

I saw Alice Cooper with Ace Frehley in 2109 and they still rock and sound great.

#1749 2 years ago

So is Scooby still a possibility? Kaneda was right about Mandolarian.

#1778 2 years ago
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

You are clearly from the future, so how does Kapow’s BTTF turn out?

I just saw what I did there lol!!!! I was really perplexed by your reply. That was pretty damn funny. 2019 lol
People are still waiting for RAZA in 2109 though lol.

#1779 2 years ago
Quoted from docquest:

Just read about a new Scooby Doo Reunion Special coming out later this year. Also HBO Max announced a new series from Mindy Kaling about Velma from Scooby Doo. So it looks like Warner Bros thinks Scooby still has a lot of life left in the franchise. So they might have been excited about a possible pinball license.

https://movieweb.com/velma-scooby-doo-prequel-tv-show-hbo-max/

Scooby is still relevant after 52 years, and most likely will remain so. My kids love the cartoon and my eventual grandkids will see Scooby also. It is multi generational.

Next time you head out in the time machine, hit me up. I'll ride shotgun!

#2035 2 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

Scooby Doo will likely sell well enough, there will be some demand for it. My prior posts were focused on the three horror movies that were being discussed.
All the same, I think R&M is a better theme for pinball in 2021 than Scooby Doo. It’s modern. It’s hot as it could possibly be. There have been numerous failed attempts to bring back Scooby Doo...they never make it past a couple seasons. Just because something is super nostalgic and super recognized doesn’t mean it’ll sell out in four hours like R&M did...you need more than recognition you need enthusiasm. Rick and Morty had a ton of enthusiasm...just ask McDonalds...Scooby Doo doesn’t command near the enthusiasm that R&M does in 2021.
R&M is hands down a superior theme to Scooby Doo...and it’s not close. This doesn’t mean Scooby Doo is not a good theme, it’ll sell.

So every new incarnation of Scooby since 1969 is because the previous show was a failure? If the show was a failure why would they keep coming back? Rick and Morty is not hotter than Scooby.

Many people are turned off by the language of R&M, that’s a fact. R&M can not compete with over 50 years of history and still going of Scooby. Scooby has much bigger appeal and a following. There is a reason Scooby has been around still since 1969. Once R&M is off the air, that will be it. Scooby has staying power that very few cartoons/franchises can claim.

Did you ask to speak to the manager?
[quoted image]

Not a Karen. Nice try at humor but you failed son. I didn’t bitch, scream or yell, just stated I haven’t received mine yet and I emailed them. If that makes me a Karen you really need to brush up on your definition of what a Karen is. People here think they are comedians.

#2362 2 years ago
Quoted from PinballManiac40:

Yeah, and R&M really fits that "theme", yeah sure. Don't see how Scooby Doo does either, but go ahead and tell yourself that.

Yeah, Scooby Doo is a cartoon that chases ghost and monsters, don’t know how that’s spooky (sarcasm). Spooky doesn’t mean scary, the cartoon is spooky based, not horror. But R&M definitely not spooky.

#2465 2 years ago
Quoted from chad:

Just a thought , 1000 Mission Street is the address for Michael Meyers . Spooky announced the game run is 1000 for the next new New game. Halloween potential, I do not know.

Man the speculation has gone even deeper. Regardless, a lot are going to be wrong and way off.

#2593 2 years ago

Better than stern puzzle pieces teaser that everyone thought was a pin but actually was a damn puzzle. Received my Fang Club merchandise!! Thanks Spooky!!! Loved it and so did my wife and kids.

Quoted from mrclean:

And lastly... It looks like I can see three letters which is "JAD"... Now when you type in "JAD Horror" into google... Amazon / Walmart links pops up to JAD Slamty all "Halloween" specific coloring books... Could it actually be Halloween / Michael Myers ? Is the other larger image the bottom of Michael Myers shoe tread ?[quoted image][quoted image]

I see NED. It’s Ned Flanders. It’s a Simpsons pin!! See how retarded this speculation is going?

Quoted from benheck:

Secret messages in the dots of the super zoomed in artwork?
"When you stare into the abyss.... It begins to stare back"

Exactly. People are losing their common sense and minds over this. Some of these guesses are really out there. Sherlock Holmes would be proud of their deducting skills lol.

#3045 2 years ago
Quoted from Dr-pin:

Big trouble and goonies are ten times better then scooby doo.
If they want ghost+kids scooby isnt it.
Try monsters inc, which is awesome.

That’s your opinion. Monsters inc are not ghost so you are wrong in your comparison. Scooby is still around since 1969 and those who think it would be lame or not sell well are completely wrong.

Just my opinion, but kids now a days don’t really watch cartoons like Scooby, He-man, Bob’s Burgers. They are geared mainly to adults. Just look at Saturday morning tv shows now, hardly any cartoons anymore like it was back in the 70’s and 80’s when all three networks all aired cartoons on Saturday mornings.

#3046 2 years ago
Quoted from SLAMT1LT:

My interest in pinball is only 12 years old, and the first thing I noticed is how all the pinball games seemed to be designed for children. Very childish (and unfunny) callouts, plinkity plonk music - no gore, no nudity, no naughty words....I was quick to change that with my own creations.
What the pinball world needs, is more pinball games made for ADULTS!

So you need gore and nudity for a pinball? Ok keep going with that. Feel sad for you.

I was upset (and still am) when they dumped the Double Decker Tacos... Had to eat them immediately for the crunch, but something amazing about those.

I am pissed they dropped the caramel empanada.

There's a reason why there is no Taco Bell pin... it is the same reason there is no playground at Taco Bell.

#3224 2 years ago
Quoted from SurlyATDM3:

Just watched Killer Klowns. One of the dumbest movies I ever saw.

It was the 80’s and unfortunately it was filmed that way to be a campy horror/sci-fi film. Ghoulies was another one.

#3291 2 years ago

So how does it work for Fang Club members and early access to the next pin? Will Spooky email you to purchase? Thanks

#3295 2 years ago
Quoted from TreyBo69:

They'll announce the game and the dates it will be for sale for members and the public (if any are left). Fang Club members get a few days to login and purchase or call Spooky directly before the public can place orders. Pretty sure it's the same website for both, but not sure since R&M sold out to Fang Club members
But you get a few days between announcement and the order banks opening. It's not "here it is and it's for sale now" if that's what you're worried about.
You can also start trying to get on a distributors list if you rather go that route instead.

Ok awesome. Thank you so much for your help, appreciate it.

Really? Did that happen with R&M?

#3307 2 years ago
Quoted from CashMoney:

Well we were promised an announcement in June… so they only have 10 days left. They’re really building up the hype on this one.

With the hype building and going on every direction, the amount of disappointment will probably be big for many.

#3310 2 years ago
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

yup, I lost interest, already purchased 2 other pins since June 1st. I can still purchase this one, but... I am getting cold.

I am barely keeping interest at this point. Looking at some used pins and waiting for Godzilla.

#3355 2 years ago

Is Alice Cooper worth picking up? I don’t like buying a game without playing it first. My wife loves AC and monster movies. I wish they would announce already what the next pin is. Hate to miss out on an AC if it’s worth it.

#3359 2 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

I enjoyed it, but some of the shots feel janky and it has the issue where sometimes the ball misses triggering a switch (lane(s) too wide?). So if you replaced those ones with the magnetic switches so that frustration wasn't there, it's a fun game.

Ok cool thanks!

#3361 2 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

Absolutely worth picking up. I’d love to get one but I’m low on dry powder at the moment and waiting to see what the next Spooky pin will be. You won’t regret getting ACNC.

Appreciate your feedback. Thank you! Some awesome mods from medisinyl also. Love his Elvira house of horrors mods on mine.

#3386 2 years ago
Quoted from Coindork:

I really like it.
Hard as hell, but really great and very satisfying when you get a good game in.
If pinball was billiards, then ACNC would be snooker.
It’s really about control and trying to be precise with your shots.
Pisses you off sometimes, but can also be very rewarding.
If you want to come over sometime and check it out, let me know.
Cheers
Kent

That would be awesome!! Would really appreciate it!

Quoted from joetechbob:

My favorite Spooky pin to date! Best upper pf in pinball.

Quoted from Beechwood:

Makes sense... "more better" said 57 times and "stacked and loaded" since the first TNA was kinda barren.
TNA 2.0 it is.

Well I am out if it’s TNA 2.0. But does the teaser artwork even go with TNA? I don’t think so.

#3558 2 years ago

Can we go back to the original cabinet art pic leak so we can stop with all these crazy speculations like Barron Munchausen, Nightmare on Elm Street, and 99% of all other speculations please? People are losing their minds like an addict waiting for the drug dealer. Come on Spooky end people’s withdrawals!!

What from the teaser cabinet art remotely looks like it would be jaws? How soon we all forget.

#3721 2 years ago
Quoted from oneballjab:

HOLY CRAP! I think it is actually A Nightmare On Elm Street.
I’m thinking the five long inserts could correspond to the first 5 A Nightmare On Elm Street Movies part 1 to 5.
They are the only ones named ANOES after that it’s Freddy’s Dead the final Nightmare, Wes Craven’s A New Nightmare, Freddy Vs Jason and the 2010 remake.
Looks like you work your way up through the movies part 1 to 5.

Not a chance. Your premise can work with any movie that has sequels. Be prepared to be disappointed. The teaser art work is clearly NOT a Nightmare On Elm Street.

#3748 2 years ago
Quoted from Medisinyl:

While I have no idea what the game is, such stones can be tied to the boiler room in NoES, and there's even a stone arch for the Gottlieb game's boiler area, so I can't agree that it's "clearly" not NoES.

Your really reaching. Seriously that’s a stretch. No way those are stones in a boiler room. Your looking for something that is not there.

#3749 2 years ago
Quoted from medeski7:

First time poster, long(ish) time lurker. My family got our first machine this year, an IMDN Pro, and we love it. Since then we've been following pinsider to see what we want to add next. With that in mind, I wanted to throw out a guess for the next Spooky pin.
"Stacked and Loaded" is often used to reference an ensemble cast of a movie, or a movie made when talent was relatively unknown and the movie was fortunate to be packed with stars for a somewhat cheap budget.
The random "groovy" reference was intentional I think from the last video. Also, I think "loaded" may have a meaning related to intoxication.
What movie had a stacked cast that was loaded and told a groovy story? Dazed and Confused. I'd love to see a moon tower upper playfield. Possibly a Top Notch or Emporium separate upper playfield.
I would hope you play as Wooderson (L.I.V.I.N.), but you'd probably play as Mitch.

Please spooky announce already. I can’t take anymore of these speculations that are clearly wrong. Did you not see the teaser pic of the art on the cabinet? Your sounding dazed and confused.

#3895 2 years ago
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

It'd be a huge letdown for me if it is Nightmare or Halloween.
I would presume Spooky would want a title that is attractive to pinballers around the globe, not sure if halloween and nightmare are hot anywhere else in the world other than in the US?

It’s not. Why has everyone forgotten the teaser cabinet art pic? Many of you have the memory of a goldfish.

#3896 2 years ago
Quoted from Vitty:

For reference, Spooky announced R&M on Dec 5th 2019 (a Thursday) and then revealed the machine on Dec 16th 2019 (a Monday).

For reference today is Friday so that theory is busted.

#3914 2 years ago
Quoted from finnflash:

That could be such a close up shot that you would not even notice it if you were to see the whole picture.
There is nothing in the teaser that screams it's not NoES.

Not a chance it’s NoES. Your reaching big time.

#3931 2 years ago

His original description of the next Spooky pin was way off if it is any pin other than Scooby.

#3972 2 years ago

I can’t imagine it will be October 31st. That would not be a good idea. Especially with CGC possibly announcing soon, and American Pinball, and Stern should have Godzilla hopefully announced near that time also.

If it’s October will probably just order Mando then.

Quoted from Magicchiz:

The Alice coopers that are on the line are the ones that didnt sell thru the Fan club/charity. They were offered with a different apron sticker set and a Alice signature. Although they were quite a bit more then Direct from spooky. Good for spooky to go back and at least offer them to the pinball community.

The cheapest one I believe was over $7500 if I remember correctly.

#4027 2 years ago
Quoted from SLAMT1LT:

Horror is my top theme for a pinball game. A pinball machine is tailor made for this genre - it's physical, it's mechanical, it has real lighting effects.....no video game or movie can reproduce that. But no, you all get endless kiddie games and old man Rock. Like I've said before.....no one has the balls to make a true horror experience.

Old man rock is better than most of the crap out there today and still popular. How is a pinball game more tailored made for horror than a video game? Especially a video game on the oculus or PlayStation VR? Especially games like Dead By Day Light, Resident Evil, Dead Space, Silent Hill??

#4028 2 years ago

#4091 2 years ago
Quoted from DanQverymuch:

Why all the hand wringing? I'm looking forward to the reveal, too, but it's not going on sale immediately upon reveal, so chillax!

Some of us are waiting for the reveal because if its not a theme we want, we can move on to another pin we do want. So until then we won’t chillax. You may be able to buy more than one NIB, but many of us are not in that situation.

#4094 2 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

I'm with you, but I'm really hoping it isn't a theme I want so I DON'T buy another right now I'm sure it will be great regardless. Honestly, pinside has been hell on my wallet because before I found pinside, I was perfectly happy with my 5 pins that I've had for 15+ years

Same here, my first 5 pins were from the 70’s, 80’s, and early 90’s. I want Mandalorian, but I want to see what spooky is doing first. I don’t want to regret buying Mando, but I also don’t want to wait next year to get Mando because I missed out on putting a deposit down for the August run because I am waiting for Spooky’s announcement.

#4101 2 years ago
Quoted from DanQverymuch:

I had no idea how deciding what pin to buy next is so life and death!
But yeah, if I decide to read a thread that grows to 4000 posts of meaningless conjecture, that's on me! Go nuts!
And to be honest, I'm a little antsy to find out, myself. When Beetlejuice was on the table, I was more concerned how to come up with the dough, but that title has been ruled out, as I recall.
And under the pf sure looks interesting! Still, I can relax knowing I won't want a CE, whatever the title, so I don't even need to be on the ball like I was for R&M, no four hour "sellout" this time!

Never said it was life or death. And even saying that is a bunch of crap. I lost three children so I know life and death. Pinball is a nice distraction and outlet to life and death for some us. And some of us like me have major health problems and time isn’t necessarily on our side. So yeah it would be nice to know what the game will be so i can move onto the next one I want. Peace

#4315 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

I would love to hear why. Freddy is such a better villain. There’s nothing interesting about Mike Myers. I’ve seen a couple of the originals and a couple of the more recent ones and don’t get it. Freddy makes much more sense for me.

I am not a big horror fan at all, but Freddy is a better villain by a long shot. Micheal is so boring and Freddie would have amazing call outs compared to the mute Michael. Halloween would be a boring theme for a pin. Freddy is cheesy and funny as hell. His one liners are just like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s from his 80’s action movies.

#4321 2 years ago
Quoted from bgwilly31:

Halloween has the iconic score. My bet is if its halloween They will do an animated version at least on the screen with voice actors for each person trying to escape Myers.

For a pin=boring

Quoted from Damonator:

F13 had the best/most realistic villain (but NOT the sequels). Halloween was great and Michael was believable right up until the part where he walked away after Dr Loomis emptied a revolver into his chest. Freddy was a fun villain with great one-liners, but the whole dream thing was never realistic.

Realistic or not, Nightmare on Elm Street would be a better choice for a pin. Halloween is just not a great choice at all for a pin. Art work alone would be lackluster and the teaser pic of the art doesn’t show anything related to it possibly being Halloween, or even Freddy

#4708 2 years ago

Don’t see how a slasher horror theme will do in a pinball game. A video game, yes. Hopefully they can pull it off. Not a slasher film fan at all. Don’t see many of these being bought for on location. Just not a theme many are attracted to to spend money on to play. Just my opinion and will wait and see for full reveal.

-12
#4709 2 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

Some Lauri callouts would be good. I think the gameplay is more likely to be a person running/hiding from Michael, than playing as Michael. But who knows, maybe both modes.

Doesn’t sound very exciting.

#4739 2 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

Honestly, if you thought Scooby was the pinnacle of pinball, I don't see why you'd think differently of this. 90% of Scooby is hiding from the baddies.

Never said it was the pinnacle so don’t put words in my mouth. Scooby has many many villains, ghosts, call outs, and a faster pace than Halloween. Slasher films have a specific fan base. You will not draw casual fans to buy Halloween like you would with themes like Mandalorian, or even a Scooby pin.

Mandalorian is a show I really am not a huge fan of, but it’s Star Wars and a blast to play and I will get one. Casual fans will really consider purchasing a Mando or even a Jurassic Park, but Halloween is not a theme casual fans will jump on and buy.

You may not agree, but Scooby would grab those casual fans and also owner operators to put on location. Halloween on location will not draw families, kids, or most adults to want to play. Scooby has more appeal.

Halloween seems to be a fan pin they wanted to make more for themselves than a sound marketing business decision. Glad they are in a position to be able to do that. But Evil Dead/Army of Darkness would have been one I would have even considered.

#4953 2 years ago
Quoted from Mudflaps:

If there is indeed another theme, I’d be willing to bet it’s another John Carpenter property since Spooky got the Halloween license. I’m a huge Carpenter fan, so really anything from his early library would be awesome.

Family friendly theme. Still hoping for Scooby. And I was wrong on Halloween. My apologies.

#5003 2 years ago
Quoted from Kyleman:

Thank you God! Scooby doo theme sucked.my first John carpenter theme hopefully big trouble will be next.Scooby doo is too childish.Way to go spooky winner.

Your entitled to your wrong opinion. Many will disagree with you. It’s far from childish and it has been around for 52 years for a reason and still being made today.

#5226 2 years ago

I vote no more speculation and just wait for spooky to announce.

#5228 2 years ago
Quoted from nexfx:

my bet is the other will be Halloween III: Season Of The Witch. Spooky has the licence for halloween, halloween 3 would not be to far of a stretch seeing as they know who has the licence. also Halloween 3 has a BIG cult fallowing and the Licence is most definitely cheeper and could be packaged with the halloween agrement.

The other theme is family friendly.

Quoted from TreyBo69:

Maybe you’re not creative?
People love games like AFM and MM because they have simple yet satisfying game play loops.
It doesn’t take a lot of content if the core loop is fun and sprinkled with a few different things along the way

Nice going to personal attacks. Typical. No sound argument but personal attack. That was then and this is now. Content is part of it and if you think it’s not go flip some old solid state pins. When people pay top dollar for a pin they want more content and modes. Please explain other modes besides Michael killing someone or someone trying to get away from Michael.

I hated the idea of Halloween, but I am going to keep an open mind and wait and see. I was really let down on no Scooby reveal. I was pissed when Michael Keaton was announced at batman back in 1989 and that turned out great.

I am looking more forward to the reveal. Will cast judgement until then. The theme did not thrill me at all and still not super thrilled. I am not a huge fan of Mandalorian and that pin turned out great and on my to get list because it is a blast to play.

Seeing the backglass art work for Halloween looks pretty damn sweet. Now waiting for the official reveal and theme 2 reveal.

Don’t let the vocal minority throw you off. I thought the Scooby theme sounded cool at first, but meh. What would the soundtrack of Scooby be? Plenty of better themes out there. You do you Spooky!

My non pinball friends think a Scooby Doo pin would be awesome. Many of us so called boomers or old men/woman grew up with Scooby and theirs a lot of us out there. There’s a reason Scooby is still around after 51 years and still has fans over multiple generations. It would sell very well just like Toy Story would, regardless if you think it’s meh.

#6182 2 years ago
Quoted from BWT67:

It was the most annoying cartoon I had to endure watching. Why it’s been relevant for 50 years is beyond me. I’d rather a pinball based on SimAnt that Scooby Doo. Each time I type “Scooby” I soil myself a little.
I totally agree with GNR, not interested in the least bit. Unfortunately that game has already been manufactured so all the resources have been utilized. I’m sure it made a bunch of dudes happy remembering how much fun it was remembering how much fun it it was to be into a crap trash band. To each their own though.
I’m sure my taste is trash in their eyes. As long as we can agree that each other’s taste is garbage and have a beer laughing, that’s all matters. But for the record, Scooby and GNR are awful ideas/concepts.
Halloween on the other hand spawned decades of influential horror and contributed to cinema in more ways than than most of us can fathom. Carpenter for life! CEs for all!

So you were forced to watch Scooby Doo. I am so sorry you had to endure so much trauma in your life. I wish I could give you a hug and tell you it’s going to be ok. Just go watch Michael murder some people to make you feel better.

All I had to endure growing up was getting the shit kicked out of me by my mom, but I now realize that was nothing compared to the self abuse I put myself through by watching Scooby Doo.

When I was growing up I watched Scooby Doo and other things when I was a kid to escape mentally from a mother who would beat the shit out of me and was also verbally abusive.

We all have themes and movies we loved as a kid and still do that got us through some pretty shitty times. I could call you a psycho for loving to watch movies about a lunatic murdering people. My wife loves and still watches Scooby Doo, so is she a woman child? Your pathetic.

#9288 2 years ago

I stated before I am not a fan of slasher films and was called a man child for liking and wanting a Scooby Doo pin and really disappointed it was not done and received a lot of heat.

I never bashed Halloween fans. I replied to the gentleman who called me a man child by saying people could think you were a psycho for loving slasher films. I actually think the pin looks great. My wife was really disappointed Scooby didn’t happen, but she really loves the Halloween pin.

She loved it so much she wanted me to order one. She wasn’t sure which model. I showed her pics of CE and BSE and had her watch the reveal trailer again and I also watched it. She and I felt the CE was the way to go. The topper, side armor, speaker grills, and powder coating color we felt went better with the cabinet art.

So put the deposit down at Nitro Pinball. Does Nitro verify with spooky that I have the Fang Club membership? And when do you think i will receive it? Nitro said maybe in 6 months best case scenario.

My wife and I are still nervous about it because no game play videos yet. But we agreed if my wife wants it now we better get it at retail. I don’t think it will be at retail on the secondary market.

I am getting more excited for it. Getting Guardians of the Galaxy pro from Cointaker hopefully this month or next to tied me over. I am still hoping Spooky does Scooby one day, but looking forward to seeing how Halloween flips and I think it will look amazing with my Elvira House of Horrors and Monster Bash Remake SE.

So getting my first Spooky pin.

#9313 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Expect it to be a long time. Maybe a year.

Expect at least 8 months. And if you need an update, ask the person you bought it from.

Don’t need an update Chuck, was just curious. I have never bought a spooky pin and others here have more experience with their timeline. And I did ask my distributor and he said could be 6 months. That’s why I came here.

But if you read my post fully I stated that my distributor nitro said could be 6 months instead of trying to come across as a smart aleck and trying to make me look like I am some anxious newbie kid. My wife wants this pin and yeah she is excited for it. She has massive chronic health issues and pain and she’s hoping it’s not too far off.

I am number 790 for a CE. So any idea how long before I get it?

#9486 2 years ago
Quoted from P1nhead:

Within 18 months.
But really I'd expect you to get it between 6 and 10 months.

That’s what I was thinking. Thank you!

#9644 2 years ago
Quoted from Beechwood:

Maybe I'm new here but can someone explain something ? Why are you all glorifying a murderer who obviously has serious metal problems by buying a $10,000 pinball and talking like it's fun? He stabs people for goodness sake. Glorifying violence is wrong.
You should all be ashamed.

Oh boy now the thread is going to explode

#9723 2 years ago
Quoted from JSC:

So long as you can keep it in great shape…I don’t have one but sounds like you need to be really careful with it and it’s not easy to fix.

That’s why I passed. If it gets dinged up or deep scratches your screwed. Nit an easy fix and if a decal easier to swap out and put in a new one.

#9741 2 years ago
Quoted from Lopa:

What matters is when you got the game in your cart not when you checked out.

Being in your doesn’t usually mean anything. Until you actually check out the order is not complete. So I don’t know how having the game in your cart will keep you ahead of people who checked out before you?

#9764 2 years ago
Quoted from Obed_Marsh:

I got an Alice Cooper from Spooky direct and it was 350 shipping via FedEx to Arizona. I don't think distance makes all that big a difference in the cost.

I don’t think distance matters either. That seems to be about the going rate. I am in Arizona also. They should have included the shipping in the price to give the illusion of free shipping like Stern does.

#9789 2 years ago
Quoted from Frax:

Since when did Stern start doing that? When I bought AC/DC and Tron, I definitely paid for shipping as a separate charge. Makes their ludicrous prices somewhat less ludicrous if that's the case.
UM 428....going to be a long wait, but at least I shouldn't have to worry about doing any post-receipt fixes. Just found out. Bit hard to swallow that I might not be getting my game until 2023, but like all things in life...I'll get over it. I'll probably completely forget about the damn thing and when I get the email to pay I'll just be like "what?"

I bought BKSOR last year and shipping was free. I am buying Guardians for $5699 and free shipping.

#9797 2 years ago
Quoted from Frax:

That seems a hell of a lot more reasonable than 6k for a pro. Considering when I stopped buying games they were 4800 for a pro.

It’s sad when $5699 is reasonable for a pro

#9852 2 years ago
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

It does look pretty wide. A ball may possibly miss that entry switch.

Yeah that looks like a pretty wide gap. At that point shouldn’t it be just a little wider than the ball?

#9856 2 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

I'm not sure they ever really stated why they were thinner, but the consensus has been that they hold up much better than some of the other vendors pf's.
I think the biggest annoyance though is the smaller screws needed in certain spots. I mean...they almost seem too short to really bite into it and hold things, but overall it's held up well on that front.

That can be an issue. Less wood for screws to bite into, mainly on pops, slings, and flippers.

#9903 2 years ago
Quoted from Betelgeuse:

Personally, I find that disappointing to hear. This standard exists for a reason. What is this, a home pin? It seems like a weird way to cut costs on a $9k pin. Since buying in, I also learned that the new mpu/driver board is mounted directly under the playfield. That sounds like something that's good for cutting production time, but bad in every other way. Is what it is at this point, though.

I don’t understand the reasoning for this? Just put it on the inside bottom of the cabinet instead? Just why create possible problems that have yet to be seen since no one that I know of ever put an MPU and driver board attached to the underside of the playfield.

#9911 2 years ago
Quoted from jwilson:

Pretty much every P-ROC based game has driver boards on the play field, including R&M. So…

Ok I did not know that. Thank you

#9920 2 years ago
Quoted from Palmer:

Why would you have your boards installed on the inside bottom of the cabinet? All of the wiring leading to the playfield would have to have extra slack to accommodate lifting the playfield. Also imagine something dropping inside of the cabinet and falling onto the board ie loose parts or a ball dropping when you forget to clear the trough before lifting the playfield. That is a recipe for disaster!

So what’s the difference when it’s in the backbox? You still need extra slack on the wires. It’s the same thing but less wires because it’s in the cabinet. Your argument makes no sense. My point is if they wanted the boards in the cabinet just put them on the cabinet vs on the playfield. And I already was told and corrected that RM has the boards on the bottom of the playfield. But glad you felt the need to chime in. Thanks

#9969 2 years ago
Quoted from RobT:

Sweet.
Personally I love the fact that they took UM to Pinfest over Halloween.

Why didn’t they take both?

#9994 2 years ago
Quoted from 2Kaulitz:

Found these scooby doo images of artwork from 1969 i think.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

They are based on the 1969 time period, but the van is not from 1969. Vans didn’t look like that then. Cool artwork though.

#9995 2 years ago
Quoted from Palmer:

Grabbed a little video while my friend was playing.

Love the subway system in it. You don’t know where the ball will come out, looks that way anyway. Thanks for posting!

#10010 2 years ago
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

There is a visual prompt (flashing inlane) AND an audio prompt for incoming balls via servo lift. I think the person in the video may have just not had a clue what was going on.

Yeah I realized that later. I didn’t notice the lights at first. Thanks for pointing that out.

Quoted from underlord:

Crappy phone video reveal. Not as horrendously cringy as I had feared and looks more fun than I thought. But yes. Stay in one place man. Felt like ‘dancin with the pins’. Lol.

That was a horrible reveal. Ultraman videos I saw looked much better and I wish I would have ordered one, and those videos were done by amateurs.

Really disappointed with this. Couldn’t get a feel for the game at all. So far not impressed. The topper didn’t move either. I hope better videos come out and showcase the game better.

#10017 2 years ago
Quoted from RebelGuitars:

These weren’t pinball players, they were two guys in the horror movie industry having some fun. This wasn’t a reveal video. Want your money back?

I just want an actual good reveal video show casing game play. I waited for one and first impression is not good, but that has a lot to do with these guys doing a crappy job. Regardless being only in the horror industry, they should have known to quit moving around so much. Spooky should have gotten a good gameplay video out so to avoid the first video being shit.

Quoted from hank527:

When there’s a lot to prove, people step up. When you have passion, things get better and better. My gut says it will be okay for a bit and then keep getting better and better.

People who bought munsters probably had the same feeling lol. It’s a joke so fan boys please relax. I hope your right. And by the time my #790 Halloween CE gets made we see some good progress.

#10053 2 years ago
Quoted from Roostking:

Wow, you are so quick to judge, good lord. Munsters? Really? This is going to put Spooky with/surpass the big boys and they know it. They will not blow it.

It was a joke and I stated that. Take the fanboy goggles off. Apparently it’s keeping you from reading my whole post.Lighten up.

Boy that's rich! Mr. OMG-where's-my-Topper-I-haven't-heard-from-my-distributor-in-5-minutes is telling others to lighten up. LOL!

God bless you sir and have a wonderful life. Your not worth any more energy and time. Peace. And also look up the word hyperbole, you gave a great example of it.

I can’t imagine Pulp Fiction having the actors. That will be a licensing nightmare I would imagine. Seems hard enough to get Fox and Lloyd for BTTF.

Quoted from spooky_dj:

Futurama - I love it!
Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors - not sure if a third simpsons pinball would be well received, but a specific treehouse of horrors one would be amazing, in my opinion.
Mike Tyson Mysteries + Scooby-Doo - Ha, that would be an interesting mashup. Unfortunately, we are now without the wonderful Norm Maconald. Alternative mashup suggestion: the Venture Bros version of scooby-doo haha. That's a little dark though.
Pee Wee's Big Adventure - No.[quoted image]

Scooby Doo please!!

#10522 2 years ago
Quoted from big-c66:

That’s what I’ve been saying so much material to work with and loved by thousands. It would be a huge hit if done right n open a new generation to pinball.

Loved by more than 1000’s. It’s been around since 1967 and cartoons still being made. It’s still very popular and merchandise still sells very well. Would make an awesome pin just using the first couple seasons alone.

#10543 2 years ago
Quoted from big-c66:

Like I said to someone else on here. I’m with you on SCOOBY DOO your absolutely right on every level it could be one of the greatest pins ever. With over 50 years of material n loved by thousands it would be fantastic.

It would be bigger than many expect on here. I have been watching Scooby since the early 70’s, with my kids and my wife still. 54 years of material and footage to use is a lot. Tons of modes to unmask the ghost once you complete it.

Mystery Machine ball lock like TMNT van with multiball, collect Scooby snacks to upgrade (blood points on HWN), Shaggy callouts, mode to help Thelma find her glasses ect.

Make it happen Spooky. Scooby has a huge fan base and it will sell itself. 55 years worth of cartoons, generations of fans, and like pin monk said, terabytes of video. Different modes to battle and unmask many monsters and ghost. You will make even more news than Halloween with Scooby.
