I would buy pretty much all of the above mentioned themes.
Other main stream horror/sci-fi titles I think could be cool:
Swamp Thing
Phantasm
Toxic Avenger
Hellraiser
The Thing
Dawn of the dead
Shaun of the dead
Zombieland
The fifth element
Serenity
Blade Runner
War of the worlds
They live

Pretty much anything horror, sci-fi or monster related.
Whatever it is, I’m in.
Let me know when to send a deposit.

As crazy friggin wired as that sounds, I’ll be buying one if they make it.

If it is Evil Dead I’m in 100%.
My wife would probably divorce me if I didn’t buy it.

All BS aside though, I’m pretty much down for whatever they have coming up. We have 3 Spooky at the moment and looking forward to adding a 4th.
Would still like to get a TNA if the right one presents itself as well.

I’m really looking forward to Spooky announcing whatever it is they are working on next.
With production of Rick and Morty nearing the finish line, should get interesting soon.

I suspect it’s not going to be a re-release of TNA, at least not just yet.
On the last Spooky pinball podcast Bug and Charlie made the comment that they think people will be really surprised at what they are going to have to offer. Part of the conversation was about listening to customer feedback and improvements, but made me think maybe they have a really good theme/license or perhaps just a really good design in the pipeline.

I’m looking forward to whatever it is.
Assuming it’s going to be announced in the coming months when RNM if finishing up, it will probably be my only other NIB purchase this year as I blew my wad on GNR.

Just signed up for my 2021 Fang Club membership.

Can someone post a link to the podcast?

Whatever it is I would think we are going to hear something definitive sometime fairly soon.
Rick and Morty is nearing the end of production as people in the 700s are getting their build sheets.
I would think they would make an announcement before all the Rick and Morty are finished so they can go right into production of whatever’s next.

As much as I really love all this speculation, I’m not 100% sold on any of them.
Don’t get me wrong, a lot of them sound awesome. They kept Rick and Morty a secret pretty well. I suspect this will be one of those “O my” moments when it’s finally announced.

Lol, I just showed that post to my wife.
She immediately said “TV series Buffy?, or Movie Buffy? It had better be TV Buffy”.
I personally do not think it’s Buffy, but that’s a really interesting concept.

To be fair, that’s kind of how it works in Evil Dead.

Heard a rumor it has 4 legs.

Dirty pool, old man!

It’s a quote from Gomez Addams in the movie during the fencing scene.
It is in Addams when you sneak a ball bast the bookcase, similar to the “you cheat Dr. Jones” call out in Indiana Jones when you put a ball in the Idol lock without hitting the drop targets first.
The quote originates from Addams.

What if the next game is Ben Heck the pinball machine.
I’ll bet the call outs would be amazing.

It would probably also have a Deeproot bash toy.

Thats a feature I would love to see brought back in some form.

That’s why I always use airline bottles in my comparisons.

If someone was to go that route, why not just do Disney Afternoon?

I’m guessing that’s not it, but in the same breath I would say that a Megadeath pin will probably come to fruition at some point in time.
If and when it does, it will join my music lineup.

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

Anyone else thinking horseshoe around the drop target bank in the center?

I’m sitting at the airport in Barcelona waiting for my flight back home to Arizona.
I’m probably going to pay for internet access on the plane just so I can follow this if the release is actually today.

I don’t think it will go up for sale right when they an ounce it.
The announcement should be more of a reveal.
At least that’s how they did it last time, and the games went on sale at a future date.

That is not what they posted.
Spooky specifically said they have a handful of Alice Coopers that were allocated to a distributor that we’re never realized.
Yes they are new builds, in fact they even said that in their post that they are “on the line”.

Any speculation about these being made out of spare parts snd being machines outside the allocated production numbers is pure speculation.
I do not believe that to be true.

To be fair, being that it’s Friday the 13th it’s quite possibly befitting.

Charlie almost always wears a fedora.

I feel like if some of you guys were in charge of a murder investigation a bunch on innocent people would be in jail.

I was thinking it might be something more like the Pit Creature mode on Alice Cooper (which is awesome).
You basically shoot for the lighted shots to find out where he is bidding.
Either way, cant wait to see the release.

DE GNR has a shooter lane on both sides.
The left side is only for Slash’s Snake Pit though.

I’m going to try plunging my skills shots with my left hand for a bit and see how it goes.
I think I’ll call it “the stranger plunge”.

Wonder if it has any effect if I sit on my hand first until it falls asleep first?

Spectrum really doesn’t have a shooter lane. Ball ejects from the middle.

Hey now….
The Golden Child is fucking hilarious.

Perfect theme for Spooky, congrats.

Haven’t told the wife yet, but I already know she is going to want one.

Key post right there.

It’s more of a personal thing for Charlie & family.
Making a theme that’s near and dear to their hearts.
I think it’s pretty cool what they are doing.

Got me a Halloween CE!!!!!!!

This will be our 5th Spooky pin.

I just doubled down and put a deposit on an Ultraman CE as well as a Halloween CE.
Fuck it, you only live once.

Wife is either going to slap me upside the head or want to blow me.
Crossing my fingers for the latter.

Told the wife we bought both, lol.

Yep, key part of her first text is “our order”.

Just now getting caught up this thread.
Hope TNA 2.0 comes to fruition.
Been holding off buying a TNA since I first heard this rumor in hopes for 2.0.
I’m in for one for certain.

Waiting patiently to see what’s In the pipeline.
Thinkin it’s time to start making a second Spooky row across from these.

Nope.
Charlie has stated it several times that the license was for 750 and that’s it, no more.
Not sure why Pinside says 751? Maybe they are counting Scott’s prototype machine?

Oh, gotcha.
Thanks, I did not know that.

Last I heard it was in the millions, but then again I read that on an online forum where nothing is backed by facts.

If this guy can chop firewood with no arms, I’m pretty sure he can mow his own lawn pretty easily.
Returning a lawnmower because you lost your arms is a pussy move.

EDIT: I really want to see a video of him using that chainsaw sitting on the ground there.

I see.
You heard something on a pinball podcast, so it must be true.

My wife listens to your podcast religiously Dave.
Good stuff.

Not gonna lie.
Trish and I have watched a bunch of random horror movies after she watched you guys review them.
We just finished watching the new Candyman a couple days ago (which was awesome by the way).

Santa Jaws on the other hand I about pissed my pants laughing.

By that statement you are only collecting machines based on the cabinet shape/size?
So that rules out pretty much all EM games because the cabinets are smaller, SEGA pins with the curved head box, possible American Pinball with their odd head box, classic Sterns, most alpha numeric and numeric solid states, Primus/Pabst/Whoa Nellie and a ton of others.
I guess Pinball Circus is totally screwed.

Movie night in Nee Zealand sounds awesome.

You can already do 1 and 2 as an option.
You can even put in your exact address and the Pinside map will pinpoint where you live, should you choose to do so.

For me it’s a matter of bad timing financially.
I’m fixin to drop 25k on a new tractor and probably another 6-8k on a hydraulic dump trailer and the timing is just off. I’m not really bitching about the price, rather I just have other pressing commitments I need to take care of right now.
I’m going to buy one, just not in the next month or so.

My wife and I feel the same.
We absolutely adore the movie, but had a hard time with the series.
I know a lot of people really like the series, so maybe we should give it another try.
That said, the movie set the bar so high and was such a perfect flick that it’s really hard to compact the two.

Considering several of the Spooky crew were calling one of their puppies Snake Plisskin, I’m crossing my fingers that there’s a chance.

Exactly.
Evil Dead is a classic and has had a major following for as long as I can remember.

My son and I played the hell out of it when it first came out. Really captured the vibe and feel of the original Legend of Zelda.
Great game.

My wife loves that movie.
