Expat
Nordman/Freres as a team again
YES!!!

jackal2001
LOL.
Glad to see you'll be making a NIB purchase in 2013 or later.

Seriously? Jack is much smarter than that (tired, beaten to death
theme of no relevance or market).
A non-licensed Zombie theme is next!

Yep, I agree. I'd be all over this pin in a huge way! I really hope
this happens.

With so many of the NIB buyers being 40-55 YO old farts with broken
parts kinda people, why not have a hardcore porn theme? I mean
seriously, Pinball has never been known to be a family gaming
adventure. Boys dominate the play in the 70s and 80s, golden era for
porn. Its time to do something 21+ and dirty for the business. I
challenge JJP to do a hardcore porn theme with slam-in-ation toys with
side themes with a dirtier-than-nasty option setting for those with
special purpose needs (bondage, s&m, scat, little people, and so many
more add-on options in both software sales and toys).
Its a mega billion dollar a year business, with tons of 'stars' new
and old willing to license their toys for use in the games. Just
think, a Hedgehog Pin, with Jenna's big life jackets (I mean really,
what is the difference to Mellon kids and this, other than tease and
release?)
Chuck St louis
would be ok with it. I understand Elvira with big boobs and not 1\2
bad looking but that was 20 years ago. Why not come out with a Family
ties or Different Strokes machine too! Geez 100 different ideas out
there and going to make a 3rd Elvira game.
I would rather see a Zombie, Halloween, or Fantasy theme, something
different would be great!

Perhaps an 80s themed machine with an Erkel multiball?

potions is she imbibing? heh), with a current TV show. Her two
previous pins were great. I think it would be fun, and if she 'hosted'
then any array of horror/zombie pesky shenanigans could be added. In
fact, why not use the pin as an opportunity to have all the classic
horror themes again? Give it a comedy horror Creepshow/Return of the
Living Dead vibe and I'd be in.
We all know that the Spooky Pinball folks want another Monster Bash,
and why the hell not? :-)
Anyway, we'll need to cleanse the pallette after WOZ ;-)

Sorry guys, just don't get the excitement with this one. Elvira is
long gone and past any relevance. I was never a fan of the show. JJP
is a much smarter business man than that. Good luck with the Zombie
pins, guess I'll be skipping JJP's second one if he goes that way.
Original is the way to go. IMHO
cody chunn
what they would be comfortable buying next. This is what drove him to
produce Wiz and I suspect their input will carry a lot of weight on the next
theme.
It has been stated repeatedly that he had demand but no product to fill it,
so I imagine he will continue to makes games that fill the demand,
regardless of what RGP wants.
IMO.

licensed theme as we've seen in a decade. I better start saving
up . . . .

Yup...she can be the announcer/host of any generic horror theme. We
may get the long wished for zombie pin, or a bunch of monsters MB
style, or any number of possibilities. With Dennis and Greg at the
helm, we will be in for something special. This is very good news!
mzhulk
Why not make a zombie land pin than you can include a ghostbusters
mode since that is in the movie.
tarzan
I,d love a Zombie Land pin!
Pin Ball
This would be great. Elvira is only the host, there would be so much
more to this. The more themes that could be included the wider the
audience appeal.. Hell throw in Ozzy too! :-)

This is great - I head the webcast too.
If someone out there doesn't like this theme they must be 'soft' in
the head!
badbilly27
would pass on though. If it was a classic monsters or combination of
campy classics that she narrates "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes",
"Attack of the 50 foot woman" "Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein"
that would be way cool. Like she's hosting a monster marathon and you
have to complete all movies to advance. Zombie alone - meh.

I agree...for all the people who are saying Elvira is too old, or
irrelevant, look at WOZ. She's got that beat by at least 30 years lol.
I think it's a cool idea, feels like a 'classic' pinball theme to me. I
love EATPM. How someone can complain that Elvira is too old of a theme
to be doing, then praise JJP for doing WOZ? I don't understand that
one.

Nobody wants a Zombieland pin.

will say: imagine if Stern was doing these themes? There would be a
mob outside the factory with pitch forks and torches.
I think JJP will pull of whatever pins they make brilliantly despite
the theme. Great designers turned loose, two mini-playfields,
Williams parts, high res graphics... Yes, this machine could be
"Oprah" and still be a good playing game - that I have no doubt of.

Agree.
Isn't she in her 60's or 70's by now? Elvira's schtick revolved
around her sex appeal, but at some point (age) that angle ain't gonna
work anymore. The WOZ theme doesn't work for me, and I'm not finding
any appeal here either.

isn't deep enough and it's too easy." Yada Yada. Personally, I judge
games based on whether or not I want to drop some more quarters in
them. Bottom line, SS is fun to play. Great humor, cool crate toy,
nice flowing ramp shots. A new Elvira game will do quit well on
location.

Maybe he means " wishful thinking" that they aren't going to do it ;-)
Besides, Jack told me personally that it was going to be a unlicensed,
fully original, sky's the limit XXX rated zombie theme.
Or was it "Spy vs Spy" ? - I can't remember which ;-)
(how's THAT for a great pinball theme?)

My biggest problem with Elvira Scared Stiff is that it really isn't
very funny. The jokes are all so bad they are bad, and weirdly Elvira
doesn't sound like she's having that much fun to me. And the game
isn't great fun to play. I think it would be a good location game as
the center crate is almost guaranteed to get a multiball (newbies'
shots always tend to go to the middle).
I prefer the original Elvira game in pretty much every way except the
bony flippers, which you can install on an EATPM.

horror/zombie themed pin with her voice could be really good.

I'm sure you could get any number of CHEAPER talent that can do Elvira
better than Elvira.
Here's a hunch - a forthcoming JJ pinball machine will have absolutely
nothing to do with Elvira.

If I have to explain to you why this is a horrible idea, you need to
step out of the virtual world and into reality. I like porn as much as
the next guy, but it has its place.
Pinball machines are not just a home ownership item. No operator is
going to put a porn pinball on location, unless that location happens
to be a strip club, porno theater (do these even exist anymore) or
adult shop.
Even if you are selling to home owners only, a good chunk of that
market won't purchase a hardcore porn theme. Many have kids, wives,
neighbors who would find in insensitive or inappropriate to have in
their homes. Witness the debate about the Lost Vegas for proof of
this.
A little T & A and suggestive themes is one thing, Hard-core porn is
another.

So can someone explain who it was/is exactly that Cassandra Peterson is
supposedly in talks with to do another pin? And while we are at it, why
did Charlie "run this by Jack" before airing it?
Charlie said "I sure don't speak for Jack or anyone else... but I did
make JJP aware
of what Cassandra "let out" prior to airing. I don't want to do
anything that will hurt ANY pinball company. That is the complete
reverse of why our show exists.
Jack was comfortable with it, so I did just minor edits... and what
you hear is what you hear.

Wow do you think there will be a modesty patch? When was the last
time she had a show or movie out? I think she has something on at
like 4 in the morning called Elvira's movie macabre where they show
little known b or c or d films and critique them or something. Didn't
Elvira recently auction off her own pinball game or sell it or
something?

Correct, she has a new show on now in syndication. Elvira's Movie
Macabre. Its like her old show in the 80's where she hosts horror
movies (usually public domain ones). She turns 60 this September and
still looks very good. I'm a fan and all but I agree, 2 pins is more
than enough for that theme. (FWIW, her new show is fun if you are
into that sort of thing)

She's holding up pretty well at 60

SS is a great game, I'd be willing to buy another Elvira pin.
