TL;DR

Dead Flip streams Elvira House of Horrors casual play, discusses dream pinball themes with community.

Summary

Dead Flip streams casual gameplay of Elvira's House of Horrors (Premium Edition) pinball at 0.97 code, achieving 730 million points. The stream is largely conversational, with Dead Flip and chat engaging in extended hypothetical discussions about potential pinball machine themes (Golden Girls, My Little Pony, Prince, Nirvana, Beastie Boys, etc.). Dead Flip briefly mentions Beetlejuice licensing difficulties and hints at undisclosed reasons for pausing that project, while praising the current Elvira game's quality and flow.

Key Claims

  • Beetlejuice pinball license is difficult to work with, and the project has been paused for undisclosed reasons

    medium confidence · Dead Flip states 'I think that license is just difficult to work with' and 'Jack had a storm making it... we're just going to take a chill pill on it for now' without elaborating on specifics.

  • Dead Flip designed the menu system for Jersey Jack Pinball and believes Stern should hire them to design a similar backend system

    medium confidence · Dead Flip claims 'I designed that menu system for Jersey Jack Pinball. I designed that whole thing. And I think Sam Stern should probably hire me to design one for them, too.'

  • Stern will never produce a widebody pinball machine

    low confidence · Dead Flip predicts 'You will never see a widebody come out of Sam Stern for the rest of Pinball's existence' — speculative opinion without factual basis.

  • Elvira's House of Horrors Premium Edition has excellent flow and playability

    high confidence · Dead Flip repeatedly praises the game: 'This game flows like a son of a bitch' and 'This game is really good... Obviously, the first two Elviras were primo. This one is fantastic.'

  • Dead Flip won a YouTube appeal for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stream and retained all ad revenue after the platform failed to act

    medium confidence · Dead Flip states 'Because they didn't act, we won Barnyard default. I got all that mate/man. All the ad revenue.' Terminology unclear but indicates a successful content dispute resolution.

now i brush in the morning and in the evenings oh feels bad we'll do anything you pick what would what would it be and why anything that i could choose that's tough dude um i don't know i i don't even know that i have an answer to the dream theme because in my mind like my brain also likes to go towards the greater good like for opening up genres and shit like that so honestly i dog i don't know i don't know what it would be i truly think a golden girls pinball machine might actually do something Frankie from Florida, thank you for 16 months in a row. I'm sorry if I missed that, my dude. Oh, I didn't. I love you.
1:06
Deadflip also knows NDA secret stuff. True. So maybe my fantasy game is being made. Who knows?
1:20
Golden Girls in the style of Robot Chicken would buy. Why does this happen? So, Mr. Hopwood, the two themes that are used to troll in pinball are Golden Girls and My Little Pony. And I'm going to say I think both themes would freaking slay.
1:41
Bronies have a lot of cash. Have you seen those costumes that they wear? My apologies if that's the wrong terminology. Have you seen their outfits? I don't know what they actually call it, and I do apologize if that's not the correct terminology.

2:50
but maybe I will yo ZZ Top where have you been dude what about Beach Boys that is both a pass and a barf pass no Beastie Boys are fine I just I mean uh Beach Boys are fine the problem is like as the pinball demographic that we're trying to sell to is getting older we need to maybe stop trying to appeal to people that are turning 85 and uh work on you know some younger themes i think deadpool deadpool is great i think um like if we're gonna dip into like older stuff we gotta go into like the 90s you know like the the new old is not in the 70s anymore it's the 90s yeah the beach boys is fine great what's up baby thank you for 13 months in a row you're amazing ladies and gentlemen flippers and butts up what about just boys with an eye oh i like that uh anyone come up with a danny elfman theme yet hmm saved by the bell would honestly i mean think about it a timeout if you could magnetize the whole play field and stop the ball dead in its tracks uh stl um i mean welcome aboard who who knows what i'm doing you know who knows what i'm doing wouldn't it be nice uh rkd14 thank you for 38 months in a row you're amazing ladies and gentlemen flippers and butts up the 90s sucked no way dude prince prince pinball machine Post Malone pen Jack but Why was that a super Oh you ass fart Damn straight Prince or Michael Jackson I think Prince takes it Glares at Prince Planet Buffy style Okay an Apster pen Pick any song you want ever Prince NWA hell yeah Princess 80s, my friend?

5:41
Horrors. No. Yes, it was the ball draining. I refuse? No, I'll do it. Just kidding. We're driving. So, T. Walrus, that's where my head's at. Now, Ren and Stimpy will probably never get made. but something like Powerpuff Girls and all that stuff Samurai Jack I mean you're thinking in the right headspace I think Space Ghost Coast to Coast you could have a little monitor hanging above that comes down displays a random video of a celebrity just standing there you could record fucking celebrities on a green screen saying literally nothing and just coughing and stuff and it would be perfect aqua teen hunger force there you go yeah lego lego's tough lego's tough one i don't think lego wants any pinball but two i would not want to be the designer that has to make a lego pinball machine trying to get that right sounds like a nightmare

Trying to get big enough to roll over the towers or hit the towers and then roll over each other. Dog. C-Lab 2020. Yeah, true.

Yeah, Medieval Madness. Thank you. What's that stupid castle pinball machine everyone's in love with?
9:08
Oh my god. Oh, I wanted to backflip that on the fly. Yeah, we brought it back to life. The grace period on these modes is so ridiculous.

What about a pinball machine about Jewel pods You know Kids love jewel pods right How do we attract the youngins Fast and Furious would have been sick Ooh nice Oregon Yo Big Rob Thank you for 22 baby Roboloco Civilization I heard pogs are popular remember pogs imagine could you imagine if stern came out with something so fucking out of touch like that I honestly it would be I bet it would be a hit it would be such a ridiculous thing that it would be a hit they're like stern literally came out with a pinball machine about pogs and it's freaking hilarious
12:22
You ass turd. Oh, wait, I'm not playing this Gappa style. Damn it. What mode is that? So after three houses, or after three windows, you get to the halfway wizard mode. Yeah, Toyota Boy, sorry, it's not working. For some reason, it's not syncing up.
12:52
Let me see if I can turn it off and turn it on again. Alright, let me turn it off and turn it on again.
13:07
Yeah, let's see if that goes. So, okay. I'm being fully serious right now. What would you think about a Guy Fieri pinball machine? Fully serious. Guy Fieri pinball machine.
13:22
No way lol. No way. Oh my god. This is not what I wanted in chat. Alright, well. Thanks for nothing. Thanks for nothing, pinheads.
13:45
Thanks for ruining it. I'd play it, yeah. Playing it, I'll play anything. It's owning it. I'd gain 4,000 calories just playing it, true.
14:14
Good to know, Internet. Thank you for your input, you frickin' animals. Iron Chef okay I'll play your game it's a great idea no C&K that's not what I'm getting at fine Jack fine I'll play it Geico pinball I really want a cooking pin I want a cooking pin so bad how about an oops all flippers imagine that's kind of what the first game of flippers was how's no instrument tmt right now slappy we're gonna be playing it tomorrow dog sorry look at it behind us though right should we design the the the 80s breakfast cereal pinball machine I think that's our next design stream Blueberry, Frankenberry Count Chocula and the other one I have no patience shit I just started 2x Ghost in the Shell pin yeah that's my buddy Ed who's making a homebrew GTIS I shot the orbit hello and then we could have like there's an imitation cereals the nightmare before christmas homebrew is so good grand theft auto you know what gta has been brought up a lot lately gta has been brought up a whole lot i don't know how the hell that would be done man my phone is going off Am I getting yelled at?
16:22
No, so we're good. Oh, fucking parking. No, I don't want a ticket. If I got a ticket... Internet, if I got a ticket, you're paying it.
16:37
Call of Doobies. God damn it. Are we paying it anyways? I'm joking, but yes. Aren't we paying for everything else? So why not? Wow.
16:57
I gotta watch my mouth, you know what I'm saying? Because you're right, you're right. Okay, we got 2x lit.
17:10
Gappa Angry's almost ready. Rude but true. 2x. Lit. Sanity, what's up? Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebbles, Tornado Tiger. Like, all cereal? That'd be kind of cool, too.
17:30
Oh, we're in a mode for the Deadheads, but my Deadhead kicker thing is fucked up. Because this is a proto.
17:46
Pop culture pins have been best pulp. I... Internet, garbage pail, kids. You know what I'm saying? Maybe we make the official Mad TV pinball machine anyway.
17:57
The giant Hela monster! Yo, T-Wallrus, here's my monthly Jack Danger parking ticket for Uncountry Richmond.
18:07
You suck. I love you. Jesus. True. Whatever happened to the Beetlejuice? that is a dream theme there.
18:21
I mean, is Beetlejuice a dream theme for a lot of people? I think that license is just difficult to work with.
18:33
Yes to Beetlejuice. Black History dedicated pinball machine. Yeah. Stop making what? Jack had a storm making it.
18:42
Jack had a storm. Oh, I had to stop making it. So yeah, we I won't go into why, but we're just going to take a chill pill on it for now. That's all we're doing. We're taking a little chill pill. Like Pee-Wee's Big Adventure pinball machine would be amazing. You know?
19:04
Ready Player One would be sick too. Alright, our Freak Fryer is almost there. You can see at the bottom we're getting close. We just finished a mode. If we can get some good pop action. we don't want to start 2x ready player 1 would be like an impossible pinball machine I don't know why that lights up oh my god get cozy internet fast and furious how well do you think a modern day joust pinball head to head would be awesome Another head would be rad
19:53
Actually, the people that make Mission Pinball were making a head-to-head, a brand new head-to-head pinball machine.
20:02
And it was pretty sick. It was called like Heaven and Hell, I think. We streamed it when we were in the Netherlands. Large Marge Multiball, yeah. Is that a deadhead, a stoner, vampire? Yes. Do you think Stern would ever make a widebody? Hell no.
20:16
You will never see a widebody come out of Stern for the rest of Pinball's existence. Hard to fit in your house? Not if it comes apart.
20:28
If it comes as two separate pieces, or if, much like Joust, if the whole playfield is literally just a standard playfield, But you do have to make room for people on both sides. I'm sorry. Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about now. That's true.
20:47
Those are... they are difficult. Come on. Yeah, as you can see, our kickoff for that is a little borked.
21:20
No. An on-rails story like Dragon's Lair? Oh yeah, that would be sick. Someone's making a Dragon's Lair homebrew. I mean, there's a homebrew being made for actually everything, right?
21:37
And then you got me making a homebrew with literally no theme in mind at all. Because, um, I'm an idiot. There's a cat fight coming on. We're not fighting! Do you think Stern will ever update their backend to full color like J.J.P.? So, STL, I don't know if you know this, but I designed that menu system for Jersey Jack.
22:03
I designed that whole thing. And I think Stern should probably hire me to design one for them, too. Bartender theme, make drinks. Ooh, that would be fun.
22:18
You can base it on the movie Bartender. Okay. Okay, Gappa Angry is lit. So we don't care that we messed up that mode. So we're going to start Gappa Angry and 2X just before we collect the last shot. Okay?
22:35
Which might be kind of difficult. No, we can do it with a ramp shot. Super Troopers. Alright Shadow, have a good night buddy Alright, here we go Don't go, Gappa angry Alright, Gappa Come down to the right Oh, don't screw Okay, we're good We don't want the 2x until we're collecting the very last shot Shit, I forgot there was more than one shot for that We almost screwed this whole thing up
23:14
No go I got a bit angry. So I freaking love Kung Fu Panda. Oh, yeah. You know, there isn't, um, like a Disney princess pin, which I think would probably do some good. That's not what I wanted.
23:36
Shit. I thought I moved it in time. I did not. Okay, we're collecting big numbers here. to the mouse and vpx uh if you hit escape and vpx um there's a setting i think it's called like control ball or throw balls at player or some crap like that bill nye bill nye the science ball okay yeah we get that you can shoot that shot so let's freaking stop Is that Gappa? Oh, he nasty looking.
24:22
Oh, there goes our 2X. Feels freaking bad, man. Can I post catch? Oh, that was almost dirty. Little tippy flippy. Bill, Bill, Bill. I go so far as to say he's angry. I can hear that game in my head.
24:39
Uh, sh... Oh my god. We almost got slingshorted. Oh jeez. Jesus Christ. Oh my god. Alright, we're good.
24:54
Howard the Duck? Ooh, Jumanji is a great idea. Honestly. I think Jumanji would be an excellent pinball machine.
25:09
Welcome aboard, kid. Who is it? Yo, Old Man Christmas gifting three subs to the community. Yo, Old Man Christmas, thank you, Mardude. I love you. Folks, love and chat for Old Man Christmas, please.
25:29
Shit, don't you shitting shit me, dude. It is impossible to anticipate where the two monsters, which suddenly appeared in the Atomic Area, will attack next. The government has listed the aid of the Self-Defense Forces and the United States Armed Forces in an attempt to destroy this horrible menace. Horrible menace. Blimow.
25:49
Bill Nye the Science Ball. Come clean. Clean? Big League Nudging Skills. Thanks. Gappa just blows things up, eh? Yeah, he's pissed. Okay, can we hit it on the fly?
26:09
Shit. Oh, shit. Got it. Yo, that slow... What have I done? Did we try to backhand this? No. Alice in Wonderland would be sick. Did you end up... Did you like Dressness Herman? It was a lot of makeup.
26:38
And wearing that prosthetic forehead. Alright, Internet. Get ready for maximum ball count Gappa angry.
26:54
You ready? Watch me F this up. welcome aboard oh man Christmas thank you my dude Kappa very angry So if we can hit the 36, 24, 36 targets some more, and the hand of fate shots.
27:48
So we need the 36, 24, 36 shots, and then we have 2x playfield. So we certainly have another hand of fate ready.
28:05
Okay, there's 2x. Got it. So if we get a trunk multiball... I'm hitting literally nothing. Hitting nothing. I suck a pinball. Suck a pinball.
28:30
Good! Don't fuck each other. We can get 4x! Here's 4x. Ah, shit, it timed out. Sorry, internet. I thought that was going to be a clean shot turns out it wasn't oh come on game oh sweet baby Jesus
29:16
hold on internet I'm just getting some points here real quick oh jeez my pinball viewing experience what happened why did you miss the show true what's your favorite jjp game uh i really liking um shit wonka i really liking wonka Wonka Pirates is freaking amazing And Eric is also amazing
29:48
I'm a little partial to Woz because that was my introduction to working on anything in pinball. No, don't drain. I need all the points I can get.
30:29
Wonka to you. Alright, we'll let that drain. That was a good ball, too. Whew, Soda Pop, what's up? This game is really shaped up. I don't care for the deadhead stuff. I think that's most people's only problem with this game, is the deadhead stuff is kind of like, eh.
30:47
I'm going to grab a bottle of water. Hold on. Player one, you're up. You gotta come inside Gonna teach you how to drive and well Clap, clap, clap. What's up, Haber?
31:08
Water. Well, gin mixed with water, but you know, it's still good. Man, this game is so good. Was that like the cool 250 mil from Gappa? Yeah, I think so. It could have been a lot more if we were better at juggling our playfield multipliers, which I was not.
31:35
But that's okay. Gin and straight water? Yeah. Gin and straight water. There's something about it. I don't know. It makes it taste sweet. I can't tell you. I can't tell you why or how. He's just really good.
31:59
Goaty, nice. What's up, buddy? Yeah, this game is really good. Obviously, the first two Elviras were primo. This one is fantastic.
32:11
Evervescence. Water releases it. Yeah. Sure. What they said. Yo, Eagle Flip, thanks for the 500 biddies. Oh, man, Christmas again. Thank you so much for all those gifties.
32:28
Okay, so we've got a second multiball waiting for us, which we're not going to collect until the mode starts. Oh, my God, I'm trying not to burp.
32:36
Let it bounce. All right, here we go. This shot's going to start the mode, then we're going to add a zombie multiball to this whole dang thing. Top 10 on pin side. This is Ryder? Nice. What's up, Crazy Rockman? Long time, buddy. T-Wallrus again, if I missed you. Sorry, buddy. I love you. Oh, I didn't. You made fun of my parking tickets. Son of a bitch.
33:01
Oh! It's the second multiball. House out of party. Never mind. Yo, Hobbyman! Thanks for the 2,000 bits. Sorry I'm late. You're not late, dog. Please.
33:17
You are not late, my friend. So we're gonna use this to, I guess, just get all the point glitches. Oh, you know what we should do? Well first off, why isn't the shoot again light blinking?
33:34
All right, is anyone seeing that? The shoot again light wasn't blinking that whole time. you get anything for creep ins we got 2x but I don't think that was because of the creep in all right let's get this over farts
34:02
Oh You're a cheval. Shoot all the shots. This game flows like a son of a bitch. Are you seeing the flow on this damn game?
34:34
okay that was two misses why is the why is that stuck open i don't think that's supposed to be stuck open sorry the the hand cam crotch cam thing it's not a crotch cam first and foremost uh it's not working right now. There's like a web socket problem that I have to update. No combo points in Nivara? That's what I'm noticing. Like, I'm comboing my brains out and we're not getting any extras for it.
35:13
Okay, good. That'll make it go down. So now we gotta start a mode before we bring the multiball in. Birdo, what's up, Mar-Dude? With the 19 months. Good to see you, dog.
35:24
How are you, Birdo? Nice and easy. Super methodical. Has a DMCAB given you shit? You know it. I've been having to fight for my life with my, uh, frickin' pinball streams.
35:44
By the way, um... Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. Farts, farts, farts. Go! Go in there! Oh, you sucking butt!
35:59
There it is. Having a beer? Watching pinball? Hell yeah. Zombies are everywhere. The more, the scarier. Add a zombie multiball. Our initial, what is it, TMNT stream, finally we won the appeal and we got all the money that it was supposed to make on YouTube only because they didn't act.
36:32
I don't know when we did that stream. Was it like 16 days ago? A month ago? I don't freaking know anymore. But because they didn't act, we won by default. I got all that money.
36:46
All the ad revenue. I don't understand this mode. Like, what does add a zombie mean? Because it doesn't...
37:08
There are no zombies added. Like, you don't get balls added to the game. Oh, shards. Bounce. Thanks, Mom. I mean, wait. I didn't just reveal the secret.
37:36
Okay, game. Elvira's my mom, by the way. Lmao. Raise the button to stop the wheel. Hell yeah, you see that? Let's go! Yeah, you wish. Why would I wish that my mom was Elvira? Don't move! What benefit would I get out of that?
38:11
I would get an attractive mother. That's what I would get. Oh my god, game. Freudian issues True Fuck you game Sorry internet You're the new Grand champion Oh to this complex True who's the last person to sub? Birdo, this is for you, buddy.
38:59
Will drink fit? Well, we'll put as much as we can. It fits perfect. There you go, Birdo. How far into this? remind me to look at one hour and 28 minutes for the best game of the night it's not going to be the best game of the night but typically when i say that it is the best game of the night
