Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle
Spooky Pinball, 2017Quoted from snaroff:I didn't say it looked like any other pinball. Did I? My comment was directed at the PF, not the cabinet...might want to reread what I said.

Regarding your question about any Alice call outs you might want to re watch the SDTM video. 768 Alice lines have been recorded already and you can hear lots of them in the video. 
haha
Quoted from MikeTangoIndia:768 Alice lines have been recorded already and you can hear lots of them in the video. haha
But did they manage to get AC to say "You're worthy" as was rumored? 
Looks like this will be their best pin to date.... however 6450 and another 300-400 for shipping .. ..is getting up there in price so it needs to hit on all cylinders to be a hit. Lots of competition around the 7k price point. Love the art and the lighting... hope the gameplay and code are good also.
Quoted from dr_nybble:Does the guillotine do anything?
Sounds like you can kill Alice in the game and it chops his head (pinball) off to fall in a basket.
Quoted from marksf123:When do they start to sell this game and how do you buy it, if wanted?
I believe they'll do it like their other games--prior Spooky customers get first shot at it through e-mails (100% of RZ LEs were gone nearly instantly by AMH customers). Not certain if that's how this one will be, but Charlie did say in a Podcast awhile back that ACNC would be offered the same way initially (of course things can change).

Contact Joe at pinballstar. Shipping summer
Not seeing the home run I had hoped for so far in this game at first impression. I like Alice Cooper and all the call outs but not many big toys or moving guillotine like I had played for the game. Still hope it’s a hit for everyone to enjoy.

The guillotine does move: Can be seen moving around 7:58
. Sounds like it's part of a mode sequence as well for killing Alice.

I thought Charlie said it's a working guillotine...

Awesome...good to know! Didn't watch the video (tried, but it wasn't working for some reason).

For what... mice??
I’m kinda blown away! I obviously can’t comment on how it plays but it looks freakin awesome! Great job spooky. You deserve a lot of kudos for delivering a knock out title.
The fan layout looks like it will shot well. Love the castle. Wow.
Quoted from Psw757:Any word on the tunes? Greatest hits or more obscure deep tracks?
Mode/Song List from what Charlie said during reveal

Mode: Vampire Song: Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever
Mode: Werewolf Song: No More Mister Nice Guy

Mode: Pit Creature Song: Go to Hell
Wizard Mode: Billion Dollar Babies
Song: Billion Dollar Babies?(he didnt specially say it was this song, but I think its a solid guess)
Looks very cool and different...... that being said it might be its downfall also.
I don’t want to jinx it but it’s definitely not a flowing game. Wish it had pop bumpers also
Definitely consider but will not be purchasing until I see more complete code and physically play it
Looks good so far though

damn no pops!??
Quoted from PoMC:No Fear doesn't have pops and it's a damn fun game.
Same with Swords of Fury and Judge Dredd. I'm not a fan of many of the Stern pop nests (the spaced out/open field pops on RZ were a big plus for me, and well-used, single pop bumpers like Black Knight/TNA are great as well).
I’d rather no pops then the same old perfunctory three pop nest Stern puts in every single table without a specific purpose. I do like the pops on Houdini that you can use to kinda nudge the ball into the stage. And I LOVE the lower pop on TNA, more of this please.
Bally/Williams made lots of DMDs with no pops. Shadow, JD, NF, CP, probably more.
Creative use of pops is awesome! Like TNA. Ho hum pop nests high up and out of the way on the playfield have gotten boring. I welcome something different.
Play field art is miles ahead of Rob Zombie. Really has that “world under glass” look. I’m not huge on mini play fields but otherwise looks great. Obviously flipping it is the real test but it looks like Spooky stepped up and used the extra time/delay to really crush it. I wish them the best of luck.

Since Charlie didn't address it yet publically - I won't state exactly what I was told just yet as that's his place - but it will be in the next week or two - a date and time will be announced and we'll go live with sales. $ 1000 deposit.Interested - you can email me at [email protected] to get on our interested list.

Quoted from snaroff:PF art looks real generic. If the backglass didn't say Alice Cooper, there is no way I could tell this was an Alice Cooper pin (not true for AS/MET/KISS/GNR/etc.). Almost like they were hedging to see if the AC license would fly? No sexy nurse? Who knows. Did they mention what songs are being licensed? Is Alice doing any callouts?
Was really looking forward to this one, but the first impression is kind of "meh" in terms if paying tribute to Alice. I saw him recently with Deep Purple and the stage design/show was awesome. I expected that awesomeness to be reflected in the pin...
snaroff
He is right, but still the best spooky Layout, game and graphics for now.
I think they can sell double if they want to.
Quoted from orangestorm87:Complaining about not being able to get re-sale value. Buy the machine to enjoy, don't buy as an investment.
I really like that playfield art, a lot. Cabinet and playfield are excellent, but I'm still a little "ehh" on the translite due to the text treatment. But I'm super happy to hear it's P3-ROC based over Pinheck, that alone makes it future-proof in my mind. I look forward to a walkthrough and maybe a chance to play it myself.
Congrats to Spooky, looks like another hit.
definitely some interesting things, like the magnet save between the flippers.. the guillotine, the alice cooper doll peeking over the castle. Not happy about the price increase, but having RGB inserts (already a nice light show) and like jwilson said PROC is making it future proof are both nice. Have to wonder if Charlie will continue down the path of using PROC?

Would seem likely now that Ben has stepped away. TNA and now ACNC both P-Roc
Quoted from solarvalue:Would seem likely now that Ben has stepped away. TNA and now ACNC both P-Roc
Could it possibly be a bit of the reason why Ben left?
Quoted from DS_Nadine:That seminar was S-H-I-T!
Waited for the game and no game on livestream but it rolled out and the next seminar began. >:-/
At least the moderator could tell what's up.
16 minutes if that.
