What can you say, it's Elvira in all her campy glory!! This was THE game when I got into pinball, so fun to play and great to look at!! I think this is Greg Fereres backglass masterpiece and that's really saying something when you consider his other work!! Then we have the custom speech by Elvira herself, was the standard for humorous pinball voice until she outdid herself on Scared Stiff.

I got logged out typing out the long version so heres the short version
Pros:
Theme (Elvira)
Music (doesnt get old)
Sound FX (funny quotes)
Layout (Simple straight forward and fun)
Cons:
Multiball jackpots are essentially the only way to score and can get old
There are other ways to score but it comes down to shooting the ramps repeatedly(still fun)
I still love the game but if your a pinball pro I can see how you will get bored. If you can shoot the ramps with robotic precision you'll get bored. If you suck like me youll have a lot of fun :)

The game I played need lots of work to it. But it was very fun to play the ramps were very cool. If it would of been restored it may have been better the back glass did not light up all the way the cabinet was dented and marked the lights for score did not all work. I would like to play a good condition one. Fun game but I wouldnt buy it for the 2500 the guy was asking for it.

I just love this pin! The dancing boogiemen (thank you boys) always makes me laugh. It was my goal to just get those to dance. Didn't care about the high score, I just wanted to watch that over and over! The 3 million shot is stressful, but very fun. Probably will add this next to my Scared Stiff pin someday.

Elvira and pinball is like a match made in heaven. I love the artwork and the sounds which have Elvira-esque humor sprinkled throughout ("Ooo, don't touch me there!" when you press the start button with no credits in there). The monster slide is fun to shoot for. Overall, the theme was very well done and the game is a lot of fun to play.

Fun late 80s games with great art and sound for the time. Greg Freres killed the art. I love the goofy theme, well executed system 11 pin. Play it when you see it! Not exceptionally challenging, but still a very good time.

This is a very good pinball machine. The theme and its fidelity during play are excellent. What I like the most is Elvira's sexy voice and the sensual comments she makes. The ramps provide a lot of excitement as well as the jackpot (sending the ball through the two ramps during multi-ball). The monster cave 4 million point award provides lots of excitement when obtained. There are a couple of drawbacks; first, it is very easy to get the ball stuck inside the center three target objective. This is particularly true, when the first two targets have been knocked down. Also the ball will get stuck in the right-most bumper as it is bouncing off the three bumper scheme. Aside from that Elvira and the Party Monsters was my favorite pin for quiet a while. The sound, voices, and lighting effects makes it a must have.

I really enjoyed this pin. I like the lay out and the flow of the game. Not to mention that the artwork was spot on with this one. It is a bit on the old one but it easily hangs with some of the newer pins. If you ever see it give it a few plays you won't regret it.
