Fun House is an iconic Williams pinball game from 1990 designed by Larry DeMar that became a landmark turnaround title during a sales slump for the company. Featuring innovative design elements like the famous Rudy head mechanism and 'crazy toy' design philosophy, it has inspired generations of pinball enthusiasts and operators. The game has been remade multiple times, including versions by Padron Gaming (2024) and Pinball Brothers/CGC, and remains a staple in pinball museums and collections worldwide, with significant secondary market presence and continued cultural relevance.
