Super fun game. Great theme and artwork. Lighting is a little dim by the flippers but there are upgrades for this. This is my wife's favorite.

This is by far one of my favorite games to date. Everything about it is great. I love the theme, the lighting, the callouts. There isn't really isn't anything negative to say about it. It's also very welcoming to new players. I got a few friends into pinball with this machine.

"Man, that sarcophagus sucked!"
Monster Bash has to be one of the most approachable pinballs in history. The ruleset is easy for beginners to pick up on and the theme gives it great appeal to both adults and kids alike. Plus it's just plain fun!
Pros:
+ straightforward objectives
+ TERRIFIC callouts with lots of humor & plenty of variability. "somebody fetch me a raaa-zor!"
+ awesome animations. A color DMD makes a world of difference in this one!
+ great lightshow prior to Monster Bash/Monsters of Rock multiball
+ collecting smart missiles from skill shots or scoop awards helps a lot during modes. I LOVE that each one has a tie-in with a specific monster (spear gun for Creech, garlic clove for Drac, hair dryer for Bride, etc)
Cons:
- sometimes the ball will get stuck in the groove on the playfield where Dracula's arc lies, but it's nothing a bit of nudging can't fix ;)
Overall, MB is a wonderful game with good flow, fun toys, excellent sound, and a theme that just makes perfect sense. It's earned its spot in the Pinside top 10!

One of my favorite Williams Games. What a fun theme, well thought out and realized by the designers. It lacks nothing.

totally fun with an incredible art!
theme is a must but rules are not very deep and this pinball is a bit repetitive after a while.
a good pinball for casual player and all the family
but not for hardcore players in a home use environment

The game does so many things right, it’s a classic. The moving Dracula and rotating Frankenstein make for fun moving target gameplay. Fun game, though kind of busy up top. Worthy of your time.

Loved this game but will never stand up against a new stern. Gets old easily at home but a fun game none the less. Theme integration is where it shines, the drac is a great feature and the colour scheme is near the best. Another great 90s game that is old now. Worth owning once

Finally this table is in my collection. You can’t beat the classic Williams. Hands down the funnest pin out there. Call outs are second to none. Shots are both challenging and rewarding. Monster Mosh Pit is bad ass and Monster Bash is fairly attainable. LED’d over incandescent makes the Playfield pops. Did I mention the call outs!!! Mummy and Frank crack me up every time. I can see why this game is regularly in the number two spot on the top 100. I would consider it number one. Find it,play it, own it.
