I’m sitting here watching the movie 3 From Hell and it got me thinking about horror themed pins. What’s your Top 5 (or maybe Top 3) horror themed pins of all time? I guess a third of my pins could be considered horror pins, so maybe I should keep it going and add another.
Alice Cooper
Bram Stokers Dracula
Scared Stiff
Mary Shellys Frankenstein
Tales From the Crypt
If Addams is horror slot it in above Scared Stiff. Walking Dead will certainly make the top 5, but I’d put it just below all of the above
BSD has to be on the list. Put a pin sound system in with the alternate sound tracks and the game can give you the chills
Monster Bash LE. Sorry to the original fans , but, the remake LE is a better version.
TWD and EHOH. Coding master pieces.
CFTBL. The hologram is an excellent toy (even when blue 
. )
Alternate: MSF , an under appreciated game . Put in a color dmd and pin sound system and it would be a real gem.
Quoted from Hazoff:With the exception of Freddy which isn't all the great they really haven't made a true horror pin.
Even Freddy doesn't immerse you into a world of horror the way a pin could if truly geared to be a horror experience, but it is perhaps the closest.
1) BSD
2) TWD Prem/LE
3) RZ
4) TFTC (some of the best horror animations [if not the best])
5) Freddy (not a great game at home due to the linear/shallow code, but lots of cool stuff with the moving mouth, door, flipper glove, and claw save).
ACNC gets some honorable mention, but it's a bit too lighthearted to feel anything like horror.
Also some honorable mention for Mr. Black...I've never seen one in person, but it has some of the creepiest looking artwork, and I like the game it copies (would buy one if anyone has one for sale 
).
And yeah, games like EHOH and MB are top notch, but just not "horror" IMO.
