Quoted from GrandFireball1:

It’s hard to tell in the photos they showed, but does the Blood sucker version have the coin door powder coated to match the armor or is it just a flat black? Not a big deal, but their comparison chart says it’s powder coated, just can’t tell the color.
Also it’s too bad that the CE is the only edition with that big knife in the shooter lane. Hoping a mod company will make something similar for us non CE buyers.

Quoted from J_Striker:

I wonder how the distributor orders will fit into the mix from the spooky orders? Like does a distributor get every 10th pin made etc???

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

I still cannot believe they sold out of these (and UM) SO quickly! Really crazy.
This theme is so up my alley, I am a little pissed I let myself miss the boat on it. Too much else going on at home, but still-
I love that hedge mech! That’s a very cool idea

Quoted from Aeolus7:

I'm assuming there will be a "family" mode? For those with a R&M or RZ, do the Spooky family modes moderate both audio and video? I realize this is far from a family-friendly title, just wondering how many years I should plan on until I can let my kid play it without subjecting her to terrible nightmares! I might stick this one in my workshop. I'll have to hide the clown side for sure, but that's mostly for my sake...

Quoted from Morinack:

Folks keep saying the knife shooter rod is the additional toy, but it is called out separately in the descriptions.

Quoted from Betelgeuse:

Man, did everyone order a CE? It doesn't seem like too many people ordered a BSE or SE. I keep thinking about upgrading from BSE to CE, but then I'd have to remove the topper before I could even set it up because of my low ceilings and the game doesn't even say 'Halloween' anywhere but the topper on the CE.

Quoted from Roostking:

I just figured for $1000 more, there was a bunch of cool stuff offered on the CE.

Quoted from Zablon:

Curious if maybe you can buy the other translight from Spooky. Might be an option.

Quoted from Sandman454:

I thought the $1000 was worth it being here in Australian as postage in any after market mods gets expensive.
I agree. I preferred the CE Halloween topper was better and the BSE rails were better. But I went for Ultraman CE and I think the rails with cutouts matches the machine better plus shooter Rod and speaker grills and topper and toy jet. Was worth it for me. I am sure most of the extras and more will become available in the aftermarket mod place. I was so on the fence on which machine to go for.

Quoted from KozMckPinball:

Is this the second time William Shatner's face has been on a backglass/translite?

Quoted from RobT:

How did you do that? The site has indicated that they are sold out since the day it went on sale.

Quoted from kciaccio:

I think there is like 3 distributors. You are saying they took 291 units on to sell per distributor?

Quoted from Chisox:

#1065 here. Let the waiting begin! Actually don’t mind at all.

Quoted from apessino:

Halloween CE, Spooky direct, order 11477 went through on 07/07/21 at 9:38am, slot #278
Temperature was 73°, winds were calm, the marine layer was beginning to clear and give way to plenty of sunshine, the red-tailed California hawks were screeching in the distance, looking for prey.

Quoted from icyjones:

If I were to pick mine up from Benton, and then drive back to KY 8 hrs, what is the best way to transport a NIB machine? I have a pick up, a minivan, and also a trailer.

Quoted from Red_Devils:

And delt31 wins the prize for being the first to list his spot on the market place for a paltry $1k profit GLWTS

Quoted from finnflash:

Kind of sucks people could buy 2 of the same game.

Quoted from underlord:

Was it in the details? Huh. Shoulda picked up on that one.

Quoted from djsolzs:

Still trying to understand if you can save on tax $$ going through distro vs spooky

Quoted from djsolzs:

I did see that message - but the part I didn’t know was of the distro will be passing that on. I guess it could change based on the amount of sales in a given year?
I had a buddy just get that last run of ACNC in KY and was charged tax as well. And it’s not on states listed below

Quoted from Nightmare:

Also, has Pinside decided what the game will
be abbreviated as? I’m seeing HWN, JCH, and H78

Quoted from monitorpop:

Just saw this video pop up on my FB feed:
https://www.facebook.com/GaldinoPhoto/videos/570883484174061/?

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

I hate that this makes sense. Now I’m on team JCH.

Ahhhh, but this makes more sense. I’m back on HWN.

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

Anyone considering removing the led strips and reinstalling them underneath the upper playfields so that the light show is less direct and more atmospheric? It looks like it can be done.

Quoted from DeathHimself:

You might be able to get a frosted shield like Pinstadium uses and put that over the strips rather then relocation. i will say though while playing the machine they weren't a deterrent from seeing the ball during play.

Quoted from Jediturtle:

Anything other than HWN is honestly kind of silly.
H78 is more of a designation to keep the movies straight, since both the RZ remake AND the recent direct sequel were simply called Halloween. It isn't necessary at all for the pinball machine since there is only one.

Quoted from Frax:

I'm just saying if anyone needs me to be the player for a video at TPF, just ask. I'll be more than happy to provide that service.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

Yea, not quite buying that, or that Halloween was a third choice behind it and Ultraman....
I speculate Halloween was the core, and Ultraman was a well played jab @ Godzilla...
( Huge John Wick fan btw)

Quoted from MK6PIN:

Interesting.....I'd think Ultraman would be easier ( cheaper) to procure than Halloween, but have no clue in truth. Think UM looks great from what I've seen, but the game oozes Halloween as the primary skin to me....

Quoted from Red_Devils:

I'm sorry in advance but my vote is for HWN it just makes sense

Quoted from TeamUp:

This bizarre layout is the same as the awesome looking UM machine that you where raving about three pages ago buddy, just incase you didn't know
How about you just start your own page on how HWN sucks instead of being a buzz killing troll on a page where people are actually excited for the theme and game. Thanks

Quoted from thundergod76:

So is this the official owners club thread?

Quoted from Morgoth00:

I would even go so far as to say disable all modes until "mask mode" is complete and the house has been entered, sister is dead, and Michael's lifelong fate has begun.
The magnetic tray in the top left corner could be decorated to be Michael's sister's room.

Quoted from jeffro01:

Anyone know, and my apologies if I just missed this, does Spooky do a real knocker or that digital screech?
Thanks,
Jeff

Quoted from Roostking:

Not sure who he is, but I'm guessing he isn't to pinball.

Quoted from Frax:

Like future added modes will have more chances to open up the 2nd playfield.

Quoted from Morinack:

As stated previously Tsubaraya was totally on board with handing the Ultraman reins to Spooky. They've probably been waiting for this for a long time.

Quoted from Tranquilize:

I find Roman glass to make a huge difference.
I mistakenly assumed my UMCE would come with some sort of antiglare glass. What gives SpookyLuke? Why is this not included with the collector's edition like all other companies? Big bummer.

Quoted from John-Floyd:

the lack of HD glass just a minor frustration...not a big deal. It's awesome that it comes w a topper, kickass side rails, speaker covers, and lighted speakers so its a little give and take.

Quoted from Frax:

Clench up your buttholes, if Kaneda is right Godzilla LE is going to be 10k....or more.

Do recent Stern LE's not come with that? I was at a local guy's house this other week that had like the last 5 LE's and they all had really nice lit speakers. I thought they had to be factory, but maybe I was wrong?

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

You got in yesterday and got #500? How did you pull that off? Did you buy someones preorder spot? Congrats. I am #790

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

Well I went with the wrong distributor apparently lol

Quoted from Jediturtle:

LOL...ok that's the funniest thing I've seen today.
Sorry guys...it just rubbed me wrong that with SO many extras being added to the CE, people are still not satisfied. Trust me, I get wanting my cake and eating it too. Snapped back harder than I needed to though.

Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

Why can’t other editions of the games, BSE and standards, be built at the same time? If you have an order and your ## in line just build it.

Quoted from wackenhut:

Why are people flipping this game for so little? Is it going to be that bad lol
Not even sure why they bought in the first place, probably thought they could flip for more! I do not think they intended on keeping the game.

Quoted from Jediturtle:

Aww crap. That's going to set my OCD off big time! I get the want for symmetry in most cases, but not in a case like this. It's like when people put on a Star Trek emblem mirrored. It's just wrong. I really hope that's a separate piece and we are able to flip it.
Is this a real complaint? No. But it's one of those goofy little things that will slightly annoy me. That pumpkin is so iconic that I'm really surprised Spooky (or the license) would let mirroring it fly.

Quoted from CheapTrick33:

So I have a couple of questions.. maybe it's a statement but either way. I'm in on a CE got lucky and got one of the last available spots in the 900's I know I'll be waiting and totally accepted that when I made my purchase... however Post 2011 from Kingpin games saying they have spots available in the 620's and 700's available. Seems a tad unfair (I know boo hoo poor me) that I got in line all be it at the end of it, and am patiently waiting but someone today could possibly buy a machine and get their machine several months before me but buying after me... kinda feels like cutting the line. If it is what it is so be it, I will still have an awesome machine to play (1st Spooky) but what say you the masses and Spooky fair or not? Also I saw/read a rumor that the CE buyers might get their name put on one of the grave stones? I'd actually love to see that and even if I had to throw a touch more $$$ to do so I'd gladly do so.

Quoted from RebelGuitars:

You’re incorrect, but what do I know. [quoted image]

Quoted from K9Marshal:

I realize this is knit picky but when you look at the pin and all of the hardware (speaker grill, side armor, hinges, coin door, legs) are powder coated and then I see the shooter housing as crappy silver I become curious why no one says "hey, lets just throw this in with the rest and make it look complete" - I mean it is a collectors edition and the top of their line.
Don't get me wrong I am excited for the pin and actually have swapped twice now to move forward and get it sooner....just feel that it cant cost much more if anything more to add the shooter housing in the oven - I have all my pins powder coated and it does not cost me more to add one more item.

Quoted from Obed_Marsh:

I dont know much about this kinda thing, but I'd assume they have the rights to Jamie Lee Curtis's image since she is on the cabinet and plastic art. It could well be different from the film clips, but it would see odd if they could put her in the art, but not use film clips with her.

Quoted from kciaccio:

I am kind of surprised I have not received an invoice yet being number 61 at the rate they say they are building them..

Quoted from manadams:

Or the walking dud... lol

Quoted from Roostking:

We already knew that, but what length and when they are implemented is the question of the day. 19, 1 second clips is not the same as 19, 4 second clips and how often they are used.

Quoted from lpeters82:

I didn't watch through the whole stream, but do we know that "the big guy" is from Spooky and not from the license holder? Maybe it doesn't matter in the end, since it could have the same end result, but I know licensing for some games is more difficult then others.

Quoted from John-Floyd:

sorry - he said he was UM # 53. Looks like some skipping here and there. At 17, I would have thought you'd have gotten the email weeks ago...odd.

Quoted from Spacemanratso09:

I’m buying this game
I’m legit torn between the blood sucker and the collectors cause i want the god damn topper it’s sick
I seriously can’t find a page that shows the differences in the two beyond that
Anybody have a link?

Quoted from Cento:

Yes they are listed on the market portion of pinside , just search Halloween

Quoted from pinmatic:

Is there a CE blue edition? I saw that on someones post.
