Chris, thank you so much for doing all these. I truely appreciate your care and attention to detail! I never really knew ANYTHING about pinball, now I really LOVE what you do to bring people into the genre!
Played the real table now. Good times. Found a private pinball parlor, fairly nearby, set up by three collectors, with some twenty-plus nineties tables. They also had my favorite: Monster Bash. Everything set to freeplay of course. They hold pinballparties almost every friday.
I LOVE Elvira so this was pretty and I love seeing all these pinball videos. I wish Arcades had never died...I never really got to experience one. What a shame.
@Padoca85 The "prototype" mods? They are pretty much sold all over the place (and some, I don't believe, exist anymore). I would check on the rec.games.pinball newsgroup...do a past-message search. You can definitely find them all somehow via that group! :)
There is one of these in a restaraunt where I live, but I went there the other day and it was sad that they let it fall into disrepair. The flippers weren't even close to the same angle, the coffin door didnt lock either you could just shoot it in there for a skill shot everytime which isn't right. The plunger lane exit gate was all bent to hell too, my ball got stuck under it. The spider was nonspinning, just the lights where working. Last time I was in there (8 months ago) it was perfect!
Man, this is a great one! Monser Bash is a pinball that compliments this one well. And is that a No Good Gopers I see there? Your bones turned out great! Love the skull mod.
@kindaaredneckkindaar Definitely. I had a Monster Bash for a few years (side-by-side at one point with this one). Great game, definitely. Yuppers....Gofers is coming soon.......if I can find the tape (gulp). Ha ha. :) Thanks for watching!
@brettybluevein I have had about 50 some games in my collection over the years. At this point, I only have a couple non-Williams/Bally games. But...I do enjoy Data East quite a bit as well (hope to snag a few of those someday). Thanks for watching!
Awesome work as always, I just Love Elvira, this was one of the few pinball games my local arcade in the mall here in SC had before it closed down, and turned into a lame hiphop clothing store. LOL!! So I got to play this one a few times, and really enjoyed it. :-)
there is one of these here in my city (Novo Hamburgo, Brazil). its the best pinball table I ever played. (no, I am not a pinball addict, so I didnt play THAT many tables)
Did you sell this at the White Rose this year? One of the Scared Stiff machines I saw there looked just like this one and I could have sworn I saw a guy that looked like you there. Love your pinball videos.
@blinkstock182 I´ll have to agree with you here. Before this I hardly knew anything about pinball, but now I want my own collection :) Thank you spida1a
Each time i see your videos,im always very impressed,thank you,Chris :} If you ever have a chance,check out Elvira Mistress of the dark on the Amiga,great horror RPG from 1990
Specifically, what is it that you don't like about Sega, the games they put out or the rules Sega uses (e.g. no grace period and ball saver ends as soon as the light goes off)?
I can't seem to find a video of yours covering the Star Trek: The Next Generation table. I really wanted to hear your opinion on it, but I guess you don't have it in your collection...Shame...
@brettybluevein Hey, to each his own. You know? I think Twilight Zone is a borefest (and yes, I'm quite good at it).....and I have no interest in picking one up any time soon. Ha ha. I like Data East , HATE Sega (though I did have a South Park for a short time). I just haven't picked up any DE stuff yet. :) Thanks for watching.
@SemiBaked Ha ha. Nice part is, I've had about 50+ games come and go since I started collecting. And...of those games...I have tons of photos and video footage scattered here and there. Maybe the next series can be my "past collection part 1.." ha ha. :)
hell yeah! i was a little apprehensivene about playing a horror-themed table, but it made me fall off my chair! "ahh... the Deadhead family album.... *announcer AIR-Head!* *elvira* What-ever*
I've never understood the attraction to this game, I find it to be too easy. First time I touched it I hit like 8 ramps in a row. Plus the cabinet is so ugly. Regardless, your collection is amazing. Besides FG and BBB do you only have Williams titles? Is that ecause you don't like DE and Sega machines?
A truly great machine. One of the best WPC-95 machines. You rock Chris!
Chris, thank you so much for doing all these. I truely appreciate your care and attention to detail! I never really knew ANYTHING about pinball, now I really LOVE what you do to bring people into the genre!
2 videos in 2 days! What a treat! I knew your "Scared Stiff" review would be just around the corner...

happy to see another vid so soon. great additions/restorations to the machine.
I actually spoke to Elvira a few months ago about the work she did on Party Monsters and Scared Stiff, and you're right! She LOVES pinball!
great vid as always! The local putt-putt has this machine and i could not be happier! Of course anything with elvira on it is a winner in my book.
That's awesome!! She always seemed to be pretty "into" the whole thing. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I've heard that it is very good! Thanks for watching!
This is one of my favorites on The Pinball Arcade.

I just love these classic horror themed pinball machines like Elvira,Haunted House and Monster Bash. Great review as all ways Chris. : )

Gotta love Elvira! :D
And very nice mod work Chris!

@mjn1332 I do not. Great game though! Thanks for watching!
I know, it's great. Ha ha. I love that part. Thanks for watching!
The best pinball machine ever!!!

@Padoca85 I haven't been looking for a while but...they were hitting the mid to upper 3ks at one point. :)
Thanks for watching!
I've never heard that Elvira quote before... because I've never gotten a bonus that big.
@nlafavore Got it in 2005-ish. Was completed and setup in 2006.
Hey! Sure have. Was one of my favorites as a kid (have it on my "want list" someday). :)
Thanks!
there is one of these here in my city (Novo Hamburgo, Brazil).
its the best pinball table I ever played. (no, I am not a pinball addict, so I didnt play THAT many tables)
@spida1a hm, i found one where i live for around 3.5k .Where do you get all these replacement parts?
Did you sell this at the White Rose this year? One of the Scared Stiff machines I saw there looked just like this one and I could have sworn I saw a guy that looked like you there.
Love your pinball videos.
I'm also looking forward to your Terminator 3 video since I want to know why you don't also have Terminator 2.
hey can you do go-phers next? i have fond memories of playing that game when i was younger. the last time i played it was in grade 6. good times!
Thanks for watching!
holy s**t, i want one of these! for how much it goes these days?
@rogerpenna Thanks for watching!
do you own the other Elvira game? Great channel.
@blinkstock182
I´ll have to agree with you here. Before this I hardly knew anything about pinball, but now I want my own collection :)
Thank you spida1a
I think only a handful of people have ever gotten the spider multiball.
@VinceLatello Ha ha. Ugh....I wish! That would be awesome! :)
Each time i see your videos,im always very impressed,thank you,Chris :} If you ever have a chance,check out Elvira Mistress of the dark on the Amiga,great horror RPG from 1990
@spida1a Don't tell me you lost the No Good Gofers tape!
yes I love this pinball machine! tank you tank you:)
@spida1a how many pinball machines with elvira?

Do you have Cirqus Voltaire?
Another Awesome Review! You need to buy new pinball machiens so you can keep these reviews going.
I used to own it, yeah.
I don't, no. I never got that one. But...it is a great game as well (a system-11 version of it, you know?). Thanks!
Yo chris as always your vids are the shit!
@SemiBaked Ha ha. Nice part is, I've had about 50+ games come and go since I started collecting. And...of those games...I have tons of photos and video footage scattered here and there. Maybe the next series can be my "past collection part 1.." ha ha. :)
@arn0ldaar0n Ha! Totally!
I thought you got your Scared Stiff in 2003.
I'm surprised Danny Elfman didn't sue someone!
hell yeah! i was a little apprehensivene about playing a horror-themed table, but it made me fall off my chair! "ahh... the Deadhead family album.... *announcer AIR-Head!* *elvira* What-ever*
Love me some Danny Elfman music. Ha ha.

A bit fun.. But the best Elvira themed game is Elvira´s House Of Horrors ( released by Stern i 2019)!!
I played this game so much as a kid... So many quarters. The Atari Lynx version sucked compared to the actual machine :D
@spida1a Why do you hate Sega? Please tell me.
And then Stern made Elvira 3
They sure did. Good game! :)
Thanks for watching!
