    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Gremlins would be great but Evil Dead would get me thinking hard. CGC is the interesting part for sure; very interesting to see what happens here.

    Since Ben mentioned it's a re-theme of the "Evil Dead" pin (as he confirmed on Kaneda) that he developed for Spooky, I doubt it's actually Evil Dead. I think there's a chance it could be Futurama (which would be awesome) but most likely I think it will be Scooby Doo which is also a great theme for pinball!

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Scooby is a set up for disaster IMO. Color palette scares me

    I'm sure Franchi would make it look great and true to the original cartoon series. It does seem like the logical sequel to America's Most Haunted. I think it would lend itself to pinball well. Collect Team members, boost bonus with Scooby snacks, and solve mysteries. Super Jackpot could be pulling the mask off the villains to reveal who they really are. I think it would be fun!

    Quoted from DBLM:

    Does this represent more of a joint collaboration between Spooky and CGC in producing the game or is this more along this lines of coming to an agreement where Ben's game moves to CGC as a way to get made and for Spooky to get another game out in the next 18 months? In other words, is it collaboration, contract manufacturing, or something in between?

    I would speculate that this pin is likely more of a CGC game than Spooky. It's probably just a case where in order to utilize the game that Spooky paid Ben to develop that they need to cut Spooky a slice of the pie to compensate. Maybe Spooky helped with the licensing too but this doesn't seem like a situation where it's a Spooky game developed completely in house and then contract manufactured out to CGC.

    Quoted from PinPatch:

    Pure speculation - Another Rick and Morty. Charlie said they would only make more Rick Nd Morry if it was a totally new design. This would cover that and would allow more R and M machines to be built whilst there is huge demand for it.
    Either that or South Park...

    That would be a terrible decision and would be setting yourself up to fail. Ben's a super talented guy but it would be nearly impossible to make a better Rick and Morty pin than the one done by Danesi, Priepke, VanEs, and Bowen. If there's another Rick and Morty game made in the future I don't think it will be done by Spooky for that reason. That would be like Stern doing another Jurassic Park in the next year with a new designer/team.
