Monster Bash, I bought one in 2002.
I love the music and the sound effects.
The DCS sound system is excellent.
The Dracula toy or Drac Attack is a cool moving Target, and the Frankensteins Multiball Toy is over the top.
Great Dot Animation.
Rules of the game are easy to understand, the layout of the targets are all easy to hit.
The Monster Bash pinball machine is a lot of fun to play over and over again, Never get's old.
Is it on your list, it should be.
I have seen a lot of pins come and go, and It will be one of the last pins to leave in my collection.
One of the best pinball machines out there.

This is one of those pins where I wasn't sure how I was going to like the theme. However being a Williams and for that matter the last of the Williams, it manages to make it work. The game is fun and flows nicely. The game rules are easy to understand and, as a whole it is one of those games that anyone can really enjoy no matter what their skill level. It has plenty of shots and different multi-ball modes, and once you get "monster bash" going you can really rack up some points. The toys are also very cool in this game. My favorite is probably the simplest in the game, the swamp monster and only because it's imbedded under the play field and illuminates whenever it is hit. That is a good way to sum up the pin really simple yet a whole lot of fun.

A few years ago, I played this machine at a bowling alley, and for some reason, it made me want to play pinball again. I had a PS2 and PS3 at that point in time, and I played a lot of video games back in high school. At the end of senior year, all I wanted to do for fun is play pinball. Thank you Williams for producing a marvelous game and helping me get back to pinball!!

Good Machine, Nice flow when you are playing, it was bit difficult for me to adjust to this machine and my first games I was losing balls in seconds, but I got the hang of it after 10 games I was hitting all my targets. Toys are great, love Dracula and Mrs Frankenstain movement. I really like this machine and hope to be the owner of this machine in the future.

This game has a magical hold on me. Stunningly beautiful all around, with a fantastic campy monster theme combined with rock-n-roll. Smooth flow with great wireform ramps and up to 6 looping shots. Wonderfully cool toys.... Yes, I would prefer a manual plunger and real skill shot and the rules are relatively shallow and good players will claim to beat this game on the first ball... But fun is FUN! This is a pin to enjoy the ride rather than the destination. Brilliant!!! ....... Update: Finally added MB to my collection! I see to reason so far to change my rating. So fast and smooth with a great fun-factor that puts a smile on my face every time I play it.

If there was a rating of over excellent for the fun factor, I would have awarded this game with it. Played it back and forth with Medieval Madness, and to me, this was just plain entertaining. Put a smile on my face and a chuckle in my heart!

I like this machine very much, not my favorite one but definitly in my top 5. I reccomend to play this machine but not to buy, because this was the most expensive machine i bought because it only were made 3361 units.

A really fun game. A refreshing break from the other Williams top 10 machines MM and AFM. The theme is really fun and they do a great job of tying it into the game play. Some great quotes that are rally enjoyable. The gameplay is unique, with shots straight up the middle being relatively unobstructed. Overall a really good game.

George Gomez's Masterpiece. Loved everything about this one, the theme, the music and sound, the pf layout. The game is easy to understand, complete each monster to form a band and perform a monster bash. The only thing that I wished it had was a second wizard where you needed to collect all of the instruments. I definetly find that as my skills have improved, the challenge has diminished greatly. Still a blast though.

In my opinion this is the game that sets the standard. What is not to like. It plays great. The theme is one of the best. The lighting,especially with led's is fantastic. The artwork is top notch.
You got all the monsters. One of the best ever made. I just hope this ranking doesn't make it harder to find one than it already is.
