Great game, I love it its just...to easy and too many multiballs. It would have been nice to have some changes in pace. Love to play it where ever I find it but wouldn't want to own one.

This game screams Beatlejuice's Rockin' Review, without Beatlejuice, of course. Dracula is a hoot with his playfeild antics and the comedy throughout all modes are fantastic. Great music, toys and the phantom flip feature is really neat. Rock on!

Really fun Game and looks fantastic and a fantastic theme. But its quite easy , couple of games and you probably have seen what it has to offer. However probably the best game to get for a beginner as it looks fantastic and the toys are great and theme. If you play a lot has to be in a collection. Great for Newbies. Very similiar feel to MM ( as in easier to play )

Have owned this game for almost a year and have to say it is a family favourite. The integration of the theme, artwork, playfield toys, and music is fantastic! For a game out of the box, they really nailed it with all of the elements that produce a longstanding classic. The ability to further modify / personalize the game is also terrific...making it your own. I don't think this game is going anywhere soon!

Great game for beginners, and one of the best audio/visual experiences in pinball. They really nailed the theme and the humor is great.

However, for the more serious/tournament pinball player, this game is a bit of a bore as it is too easy. Sure, you might not collect all the instruments, but most of the time playing you'll get to the wizard mode. None of the shots are that interesting either.

A ton of fun until you do everything, then it gets a little old. The "It's Alive!" part is always awesome and the mosh pit multiball rules. The music grates after awhile. Some day I will own one of these.

Looks like a lot of fun but very expensive. This game is like the Hollywood pinball machine for the rich and famous!

Great game to collect,if you can afford it :( Bought mine in 1998 when it was more reasonable.

I love almost everything about this game. A great theme, fantastic music and sound, cool DMD animations, awesome bash toys, and one of the most vibrant and beautiful playfields around. It's not a super deep game or particularly challenging for the advanced player, but pinball is all about having fun, and this game delivers the goods.

I never owned this but played it fairly often in an arcade. I love the movie monster theme and all the different monsters on the playfield..I found the gameplay to be quite entertaining... I will have to defer to the owners on the lastability factor since I didn't play it enough times to find out if it would stay entertaining in the long run....I would love to own someday but I think the current price range is a bit steep....but if money were no object I would certainly own this....

Monster Bash is a great game, but I do think it may be slightly overrated. I love the theme and the look of the game. It also plays great, but I wish there were some deeper objectives in the game. The scoring is kind of unbalanced with the only real goals being to get Monster Bash or Monsters of Rock for big points. I still think this game should be near the top because of the gameplay, but as far as fan layout games, AFM has more replay value for me.

Very fun pin to play. Not a very hard pin to play (can be a good or bad thing depending on your liking). The theme is awesome. The toys are fantastic. Dracula running around the playfield, Frankenstein coming "alive" how cool is that? The cabinet and back glass are beautiful. 2 thumbs up!

I played this one at a truck stop on the way home from vacation. Other than trying to bash the Dracula figure that drifted along a preset wire...the game was a bit sleepy. Really. The flow was good but not especially fast, satisfying.....meh....Good use of color though. I wouldn't pay HALF of what is asked for this game.

I bought this pinball, added a new playfield, fixed the toys. It is a great pin but in the end gets a little bit bored. The problem is the high scoring Monster bash and Monsters of rock feature.
