What a great intro and cosplay segment! I’ve been waiting for this review. Thanks for finally officially reviewing this pin! Would love for you both to continue doing these this way when possible. Perhaps finally do this for the Star Wars pin and one is Han and one is Chewie? Would love you all to go back and review ones that either didn’t get a deep review or ones that have grown on you over time and perhaps changed your opinions. Great job on this one!!
I like your thinking. Time and money always the issue
CE-380 here, Game arrived in PERFECT CONDITION, Game is Stunning to look at, BUT it has to be the worst shooting pinball machine in the last 20 years. Lasted 2-weeks in my collection. If you like flow,speed, fast pinball? this isn't the game for you!!!!
Great review guys and just a little tip there is a game restart already coded. Just hold the start button for about 10 seconds after ball 1 and it will restart
Damn didn’t know that thanks!
Great review guys! I am considering buying one now. If they ever come out with a Scream Pin. I will take out a loan for it 😂
10/10 intro. Also agreed with the art, the cabinet is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
Hey thanks Marc!
Agree about the art.. 👍
You guys are the best! Love the costumes and the videos as always! Dr Lumis is awesome. HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Hot damn big thanks Nick!
The diverter does not send it across the balcony to the magnet. It sends it down the left return rail
I know!!!! I reshot this and still sent Zach the wrong one!!!! Thank you for correcting!!!!(greg)
Happy Halloween guys! We are huge Halloween and horror fans and love having this game in our collection. I like that it plays differently than our other games. Can't wait for the code to be finished!
Code will never be finished, that’s not Spooky’s m.o. You’ll be lucky if you get code that doesn’t crash.
At first I was a little turned off by the playfield… Now I can’t stop watching UA-cam videos on it. Pretty sure I’ll be buying one soon. The artwork is amazing and I’ve grown to really like the playfield and the game.
LOVE MINE. Gotta learn the rules. The farther you progress the more intense and rewarding the game is. All of the modes are super creative with tons of variety. The Wiz modes are phenomenal and it’s one of the greatest multiball shooters of ALL TIME. It’s 10/10 keeper for me.
Jack-o-lantern multiball is epic..
I just got my Halloween today. I hope I like it as much as you do.
Love these videos. 48 min of entertainment. Thanks fellas.
Two seconds to read your comment and it made our day thanks!
Spooky needs to rewrite ACNC, even with all the 'fixes', it loses the ball WAY too often. Ultraman was like this also. Spooky needs to get their crap together. Thanks for the review!
Those two machines behind Greg and Zach, couldn’t be more polar opposites, when it comes to theme. 😂
Hahaha so so true
Yes. I’d go as far to say that TS4 is literally one of the worst pins of all time. I’ve never seen a manufacturer drop the ball so f’n hard with a license. I feel sorry for Pat if this is his last game ever, given he is a living legend.
@@sadboi7537 what no where near. Not the best but far from the worst! How much have you played it? (Greg)
@@SDTM Yea man. I’ve spent probably a few days worth of actual hours on it at one of my local locations and that was enough for me. Lol. Pat could’ve done so much more with the layout. Also, not being able to use the first three films as cannon is a BIG LETDOWN. A lot of people enjoy it, which I have no problem with of course, but it’s just marketed to a certain demographic I believe and as a pin head of 25 years, it doesn’t resonate with me, especially coming from the guy who made two of the greatest pins ever.
Why are pinball fans so negative? Whenever a new machine gets released there’s so many negative comments. I do like sdtm’s approach of showing the pros and cons though.
for next one, i would love to see a HELLRISER pinball machine! :D
Spooky should do a Hellriser pinball!
I speak for everyone when I say we need a Friday the 13th pinball machine
Excellent review guys, it’s certainly not the best game, but it’s unique and fun. I’ll never sell mine.
Very well said Danzig
My lord this looks amazing. We need a vpx version of this pinball yesterdays!
Great idea
Interesting how you stumble upon some stuff on UA-cam and now you found you new channel lol
Funny Shit guys. This is now a pin I AT LEAST need to flip (not buy and flip lol). Honestly I see incredible potential as a trilogy retheme of this same pin (if factory). I bet this pin becomes a secret treasure down the road. Now my eyes are on Alien 😂
Alien is cool too
I fucking LOVE the subways so good they help with multiball
Interesting
@@SDTM well when the balls are heading for the subway ,i know where they are and where they are going to end up ,and in multiball it gives me chance to get the super jackpots to advance to the wizard
Played it for the first time this weekend, and while it looks and sounds good, the way it played reminded me of a bad 90s Gottlieb.
I'm with ya Greg, I really enjoy this game... and gotta love a SDTM Halloween episode!.. I bet it is even better in the home environment.. only been able to play ot on location
😀👍
@@808zhu Have you had a chance to play Halloween yet?
@@TiltingT Bro, I live in Hawaii. Pinball is practically nonexistent here. 🤷🏻♂️ Unless you have your own machines.
@@808zhu Yeah I knew you lived on the island , you definitely need ti make ot to one of the expos to just catch up and play all the new games!..It would be worth it!! To be able to play and experience so many great games you havemt had a chance to play yet wpuld be awesome!
@@TiltingT it's on my list. I'm planning on going to the museum in Vegas 🙂👍 Also want to start a pinball arcade here
Best horror pin ever made easily my favorite pin right now this game just OOZES Halloween and the fall season I can’t get enough of it honestly
It does the theming correct
Thanks for the pinball content guys! Wish ya'll would go back and review some of the other newer titles ya'll skipped like The Mandalorian, Rush, Led Zeppelin, American Pinball's Legend of Valhalla and Oktoberfest.
Coming Soon…
I have one waiting on me back home. I got mine in about a month ago but I’m still in Iraq for awhile 😩 got me hype to return and play it though. I’m happy to know a few reasons people actually hate this game, cause I keep hearing it but not seeing any real reason.
Stay safe buddy
@@SDTM Thanks! Any ideas where to get that house Mod? Been looking for it since I saw yours
@@theodorerussell9648 Pinside: Vimtoman
Next Spooky, Scooby Doo. It would make me so happy.
Ooh now THAT would be incredible
Zach sounds like a Great Value Brand Dr Evil 😂
eeeeevul
How'd you not get a copyright strike for the Halloween theme song?
After watching this review I gotta hunt one of these down asap. People gotta relax a little. What a unique and cool looking game. Can’t wait to bring one home. Btw that mod looks like a must have, how cool. 🎃
AWESOME review men!
Greg your a gamer to wear that mask as long as you did.
And Zach if spooky needs new call outs you should be hired!
We just got ours a STANDARD version.
I LOVE it , so different from anything i own.
I agree 100% YOU have to LOVE Halloween to enjoy this.
The quirks all go with the movie.
And this NEEDS to be played in a HOME environment
LOVE the adult mode, Is it better then my Sterns NO, but it is bolted to my floor.
STAY SAFE
Matthew
.
Agree with the home environment! That way you are immersed!
Also that damn mask was sooooooo hot!!!!!! is😂 (greg)
I enjoyed this game a lot more than I was supposed to if that makes any sense. If it were one game in a 1 to 3 game line up, well then maybe I wouldn’t consider it, but in a 5-10 game line up, I could see owning it. My two cents deposited. Awesome video guys👍👍
You guys are the best I laughed out loud throughout most of the video. I love mine but it is brutally difficult. but I will never sell it because I love the theme. I’m sort of like Greg I don’t really care what anybody else on message boards say I just keep games that I like. Great review! But I agree with Zach on the scoop. Even though I love the game I hate that shot😂
It’s a solid pin that defies basically any other pin currently on the market. There were some serious issues when the game was initially released, but most seem to be smoothed out and refined at this point. It’s easily the most inventive pin of the last five years or so and only the haters don’t get it.
This game rules and doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
Well there ya go
Agreed. These guys have a L take. Spooky is the last manufacturer with soul.
Played on location, multiple games. Was gratified to get Hedge Multiball because the first scoop sucks. The Pumpkin scoop is worse. However, replay availability was definitely there for this game.
I really like this Pin Best Art on a Pin IN A LONG TIME Same with Audio and use of the the movie stuff
Go Spooky. I fully approve of the idea of making 2 machines based on the same template in order to keep costs down and hit a different market. At this point anything anyone does to get more machines out to more players is a great move.
Wrong! The market doesn’t need to be flooded with turds!
@@ThemMightyPies Where are your 2 machines?
I agree with pretty much everything you said exept the sound. Something is off on the audio quality and integration. I like the sound/music content, but I don't like the way it's mixed together. Also, best intro ever...
I disagree,, they HAVE to do it... in referenced to still fixing this game. I was first time customer of Spooky with this game. No chance in hell I BUY another machine from them. So if they want to save their reputation I feel like they have too... with other more forgiving customers. Greg glad you also noticed the pixel issue on Lori and the hedge scene... for sure on other machines. Sorry guys outside of the voice acting/sounds and art package... only thing that deserves maybe a B is layout, didn't mind the layout or shots myself and give Spooky props for trying something different. Beautiful machine, Good customer support, but bad build quality , code, animations overall this machine has some terrible flaws which is why I sold mine. Last but not least feel like Spooky was very deceiving with the release of this game with things they said on podcast and what not.. that turned out NOT to be true which had a huge factor on me trusting them and buying this machine.
If they come out with a columbo pin u can use Loomis trench coat 🤣
Thank you guys for cussing. I hate watching videos where people will use words like freak or shoot, when they clearly mean to say fuck or shit. But they’re just scared or something.
JOHN CARPENTERS THE THING DONE RIGHT
Great job Guys!
I heard pj soles shows us her knockers on adult mode but never see it. Is this true? Lol
You guys are great and love the show. I just don't think Boney dropping the "f" bomb every minute is necessary and takes away from credibility.
Greg is spot on.
Ugh, Greg Greg Greg PFFT
Please... Friday the 13th next!
I keep waiting!!!! (Greg)
Love it Guys!! lol
We love you!
I surprised either of you have a Halloween considering you don't sell spooky pins. Interesting.
Shocking right?
Weird Zach has videos for Alice cooper mods and they love TNA I’ve seen that game mentioned they’ve always talked about spooky games for years
I peed a little laughing so hard with the intro. Great job.
Can Spooky design a game without hideously ugly and gigantic upper playfield? Or maybe one with flow? I’m from Wisco, there is nothing more I would like to support a “literal” local pinball manufacturer (they are a stone throw from me), but they don’t seem to understand pinball design. Too focused on gimmicks instead of gameplay. They get some of the best licenses, yet, any other manufacturer (besides maybe P3) would do an INFINITELY better version of anything they have ever done given the opportunity. It’s like MLB vs Tee Ball.
You sound like Professor Snape lol
😂 I can see that (greg)
WHERE ARE THE EXPRESSION LIGHTS FOR RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND MORE $2000.00 TOPPERS!!!!! WE WANT $2000.00 TOPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whattup, Gs?
Nada just chillin
@@SDTM Fun show, great review. Thanks for uploading! Hoping for another one soon! 😎🤙 Do you have your list of ratings published online somewhere? Pinside perhaps?
IT!
Crap code and build quality. Layout isn't horrible, but isn't top 100 either.
Artwork and theme are great.
Not a fun pin for the real pinball enthusiasts.
Haha damn so we didn’t make the cut as real enthusiasts?
I’m a huge Spooky fan.
Thanks for stopping by
Why, do you like shit money losing pins?
2 of the WORST Pinball Machines ever created in the background!!!!!!
$ik 👽
After the first 5 minutes I had to stop watching. Just tell us about the game, we don't need comedy skits in our pinball reviews.
Yeah likely wrong channel for ya
@@SDTM unsubscribed as directed.
@@0osha nice!
My trench coat is a cheap piece of shit
Ugh it so was
So funny was laughing my ass off . Just the way you said it
This and ultraman are so bad.. we played ultraman on location 2 weeks ago - if the code is anything like Halloween then yuck! I fear new players plunking down a dollar on these games then hating pinball.
A: it does shoot like shit and b: the art is all it has going for it. Come on guys this pin is horrible. And I love spooky but this was a swing and miss miss miss. The greatest critique is that it’s boring. Boring code, boring shots, no moments, and clunky ball tracking. Y’all ate way too much of the spooky candy corn for this one!
Seems like there are many fans not just Greg and to a lesser extent Zach
That intro is nauseating.
Come on. If you watch it again you will at least smile.
Maybe try last years special! It was a little better! We reviewed Elvira
@@SDTM
The world is full of douche bags… Love the intro and the skits. Keep it up guys. Costumes are great btw
I love how this pinball game looks. I am a Halloween fan. I think 🤔 I could have made a better last movie though.😮 I wish I could afford this beautiful 🤩 game. Everything is so awesome.
