TL;DR

Stern reveals Elvira's House of Horrors with designer walkthrough at factory.

Summary

Jack Danger hosts a factory tour stream at Stern Pinball showcasing the new Elvira's House of Horrors pinball machine. Designer Dennis Nordman, programmer Lyman Sheets, artist Greg Faris, and playtester Mike Vinacore present the game's theme, mechanics, and rule set. The game features a haunted house concept based on B-movies Elvira mocked on her TV show, with eight major playfield shots, multiple multiballs, and a central 'Freak Friar' mechanism tied to game progression.

Key Claims

  • Elvira's House of Horrors is the third Elvira pinball machine produced by Stern

    high confidence · Greg Faris: 'Greg obviously has done the art for all three Elvira machines that have now been produced.'

  • Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) participated in the game via video, appearing on screen to introduce haunts

    high confidence · Greg Faris: 'she participated via video, and she is part of a scenario. When you start a haunt in the house, you'll see her come up on screen, and she'll tell you what this haunt is gonna be about.'

  • The game concept evolved when the development team acquired B-movie licensing, changing from a generic haunted house to a thematic design tied to movies Elvira mocked

    high confidence · Lyman Sheets: 'We had the movies, right? We started out with something a little different—was a haunted house. But when we got the movies, that changed everything.'

  • The Freak Friar mechanism in the center of the playfield ties game progression to house-cleaning narrative and homages Scared Stiff

    high confidence · Greg Faris: 'we tried to come up with a device and mechanism to tie everything together... we pay a little homage to the Scared Stiff with the freak friar.'

  • The playfield features eight major shots, one more than typical games which have seven

    high confidence · Jack Danger: 'So it really has, like, eight major shots on the playfield, and most games have seven. So I squeezed in an eighth line.'

  • Six main B-movies are featured as haunt modes: Werewolf of Washington, Hands of a Teenager from Outer Space, Nature's Pal from Outer Space, Night of the Living Dead, Manoa Sand, and The Brain That Wouldn't Die

    high confidence · Lyman Sheets: 'the six we have are the main ones: Werewolf of Washington, Nanoo's The Hands of a Teenager from Outer Space, Nature's Pal from Outer Space...Night of the Living Dead...and The Brain That Wouldn't Die.'

  • The game includes three sequential multiballs based on movie groupings: Wild Women, Zombie multiball, and Creatures/Monsters multiball

    high confidence · Lyman Sheets: 'have three multiballs in the garage on the house...Wild Women, wild women multiball...zombie multiball...Creatures, monsters multiball.'

    hello beautiful all right so Greg another elvira game yep right everyone is absolutely in love with the first two machines and this is awesome that we have a third one going on like how involved was Elvira with this machine just as much as she was on the first two railings if not more because this time we have a video screen okay and she participated via video and she is part of a scenario when you start a haunt in the house you'll see her come up on screen and she'll tell you what this haunt is gonna be about so she's actually on the screen talking to you lately absolutely that's not it not all the time yeah you know four key events she doesn't make appearances on there that's awesome exactly and as far as like just like the design I guess it's more of a question for you how much influence did she have over like theme or you know what she liked I want like a cool creepy haunted house or I want like she's always been very open with what we want to do we we sent her a pitch okay no and and Klieman is you know the guy that always wanted to do a haunted house game and so when the Elvira license became available again we thought it was just a natural to go ahead and combine what Lyman's been wanting to do with Elvira and create a haunted house theme that's all that was the first thing that I worked with to fit into the game was getting that castle or though I'm sorry the house there was a bit of development in that because it took a while to get to this point to make it look as good as I wanted it to look yeah I don't know the I like all the windows the turret on top which is nuts I guess we'll go into exactly what that's doing when we get there you brought in the leapers uh-huh did quote-unquote the leapers which is brought them back and they still hit the glass oh there you go that's amazing we uh we have the deadheads in here so now we this seems very focused around like her TV show the the more like old b-movies that she played was it hard like getting those movies or I guess their public domain compilation oh yeah when they offered that that seemed like a great basis to like launch off of and create you know all these haunts so the idea of a haunted house it's her house and the idea behind it all is that she is haunted by all the B movies that she's taunted for years from the film her house now because they're upset with her for making fun of their movie that's amazing okay so there is a story behind having the movies a little while too good to that point because I don't think we knew in the beginning we had the movies right we started out with something a little different was was a haunted house but when we've got the movies that changed everything and that's how Greg and I developed our initial concept we're just making it making it louder for you you could see folks we got like they even took the haunted house created it in 3d and everything's happening in there like the windows are lighting up and even inside the the haunted house toy here each window has like a did I say that every window has like a light behind it oh man oh top shows you different modes that you can obtain is freakin awesome freak friar where did that come from we this whole thing in the middle of the play field we we tried to come up with a device and mechanism to tie everything together so so the idea here is you're you're you're cleaning the house of the spirits you're you're working with the the Crypt and you're you're waking the dead heads but you're putting them back again and so each phase of the game is represented by this this mechanism that's you know in the basement of our house so to speak and and so you know and also we pay a little homage to the stiff ohmmeter with the freak friar oh absolutely by every switch that you hit on the game becomes a you know it adds to the freak friar and and then you get these side modes based off of you know once you get that built up like the sniffle meter then you get a chance to get got angry Gappa is from a film called prehistoric
    15:21
    Lyman's been working with you through so he knows yeah Lyman's been cutting scenes from these movies yes yeah that too yeah Lyman sheats everybody you're quite aware of his work he he does amazing stuff and Sheen is something that helps you get the monsters back into their movie oh I see this is sort of like a like a like a like a ghost chamber or a monster chamber your respirator is where you know the higher end players will be able to get hold on the beat yeah okay the beer ester it will zoom in on that later Internet okay sorry go for eventually get to director's cut so it's just a higher level of the game building up that's that is freakin awesome so yeah internet look at all the stuff that is going on here it's also like we got in search for days on this thing I'm excited to see this thing flip I think we're gonna let Lyman sheats talk a little bit about we're gonna hit start have him talk a little bit about like an approach here to code rules and stuff like that if you if you'd love to or we'll just yeah let's just do that that makes a lot more sense than drowning you guys out oh my god this thing is sick oh yeah trust me by the way if you folks have any questions later we will field a few before we kill it here but yeah Lyman what do we what do we got going on here my man the basics of the game on the house entrance you can each of the windows is associated with one of the one of the B movies that you're trying to get these spirits if you will here it's right back on film and out of the house and so I think the the six we have are the main ones werewolf of Washington nan-oh's the hands of a teenagers from outer space nature's from outer space I think Night of the Living Dead probably rings a bell for people like a lot of people know the other ones I mean I don't even know some of them some people knew about Manoa sand yeah werewolf of Washington yeah I got that one yeah and the brain that wouldn't die there was this really long death scene in the movie and so you turned it into a mode where you see you know just images of the guy different stages of the guy you know in his death scene and then they're too big modes one is the party mode in the center of the house it's about the halfway mark through the house and the other is the the Attic mode which is the last the the last mode in the house and there's also a locked room over here you need the key to get over into the locked room and then that is a collection of like kind of like bonus movie haunts that some are really hard to kind of pull information out of to make something like even remotely oh yeah no doubt no no it's kind of hard and then so that's sort of like a collection of of those the other we have three multi balls in the garage on the house they're just in order sequential wild women multi-ball that couple movies one was the wild women of Wango and untamed women that there are some pieces from there add a zombie multi-ball so there's one of the movies is associated with the house one of the rooms and then there was a movie called I eat your skin which was skin eaten but there were a bunch of zombies in it so those guys are kind of represented here and Atika tack is sort of a mishmash of creatures monsters multi-ball the other sort of things always like kind of go around with with what you know people would see the Crypt this is um Greg can you can talk about this to family crypt it's just we took the dead head concept from the first two games and just expanded it into something a little more further developed so you basically bang on the door of the Crypt it lets you in the the ball actually goes inside the crypt and a dead head is presented so you're basically bashing bashing a skull for them for the mode and the skull is morphing into a character on screen like a physical skull shows up that you bash yes when the Crypt opens you you you're the ball actually goes through a trough and comes out the Crypt kicker over here and then enters the back into play and the skull will be exposed and you'll use that as a bash toy and then the character that's the floating head on screen well there's like twelve different characters and that'll be floating around and every time you bash the skull they'll have something to say to you yeah it's you know they're they're annoyed that you woke them up
    21:21
    fantastic what else do we got here so can we talk a little bit about the the junk in the trunk over here was that inspired by one of the scenes from Elvira when one of her shows probably the first one in the series where she was moving and she was fearful that she would have to move so she had things packed up and she wanted to find something in her dusty old box so I loved Elvira's human concept and changed it to junk in the trunk so in Dennis that tends to like crates and trunks fare so so this is just another iteration of a crate trunk whatever models of the game actually said dusty old box what's cool about this is not only is it it's got like rails on top to allow it to be part of the habit rail here but it also opens up to take balls in which is a pretty freakin unique so there's a little kick out sorry I got a little closer so when the ball goes in the trunk it goes into here and kicks out over into the pop bumper area great through there that's awesome so it really has like eight major shots on the play field and most games have seven so I squeezed an eighth line well done squeezing it in I think we should flip on this thing for a little bit and maybe we can as we progress through stuff we can talk a little bit about like modes and stuff as we get there let me set this I'm holding a lot of equipment right now internet so calm down we're doing great hey it's me again Jack danger how are you in certain conditions and you can shoot into the cellar oh the ramp this guy here this lifts up there you go Internet another shot okay dripping in shots who would like to how loud is this by the way I guess we'll just hit start here we go
    23:53
    can you I'm just gonna check with you Internet can you hear the game turn it up [Music] yiii well yes we would love the glass on let's get started little louder okay one second how's that let me make sure the mic is even on
    24:25
    louder good there we go can you still hear me and the game audio we're just gonna put the glass on real quick I'm gonna switch over this while we put the glass on yeah we're good alright sick little louder we could turn it up on the game we we all have pizza fingers shout-out to White Castle or wherever we got pizza from Oh white cottage my back you guys have those White Castle pizzas they're free they're free 100% hundred White Castle pizza alright well here we go let's do a one player game right now just to talk about a few things and then we will play yeah well let Lyman start so they'll be able to hear us just fine [Music] the mode the haunt there's a skill shot in the back the
    25:32
    the Elvira's super secret backdoor unskilled shot lucky you make one of these today so yeah just to go over some of this stuff so the creep fryer this leads to got the angry which is sort of like sniffle meter and in scared stiff when we were going over all this stuff it was such a cool movie like just like I got you know I got till the knock off the movie and had a lot of cool scenes and then it just sort of made sense for for what you guys were wanting to do with that the starting today yeah the orbit is a mode the ramps is a mode the trunk items just kind of cycles through you hit the bank it locks into one of the items if you complete these targets the trunk will open up you can lock two balls in here to ball multi ball and then again that's the haunts there's a drop target there for a multi ball deadheads here and this just switches will build this up if you start haunts the windows will go solid as you work your way through the house you can get the house party mode in the middle and the final house mode at the top defeating deadheads gives you the crew phases and the second one I think likes extra ball yeah three I and these four here if you finished the hunt will give you one of these I think the second one likes extra balls Oh fantastic yeah the game plays like kind of I I feel like it plays kind of friendly little little kind of long so I ended up putting the extra balls on more I guess this is more skill-based kind of thing so Internet by the way Lyman Wyman is working hard on this game so like things what you see here is a good some good bones on it oh there you go I love the silhouette
    27:46
    yo this one here again werewolf of Washington full moon it's on a timer all the house modes are on a timer so I just want to shoot an orbit here can you guys hear Lyman okay and then so the orbits are gone and it lit all these other shots for me these are all I can make as many of these as I want and this is sort of all of these modes are open-ended so there's one part of them where you can just keep going as long as you want this one here you just have to just like keep each shot oh my god it's on a it's on a timer and it's kind of like a combo and you if I hit one of the shots like that or the drop target it'll end that that's sequence so I just have to do this three times this is that's kind of like your disaster drop ran set left flipper into the pop bumper yeah and then as long as I can keep it going I can keep shooting the shots but as soon as I miss or shoot one of the other ones it stops the the sequence so I got the the deadhead oh that is the deadhead let's see if I can get that in a second hold on you can kind of see him in there he popped out so now we get to bash his face
    29:17
    the modes is restart that one there just barely in the grace period so every time you hit a shot it already set the timer to a base value I think like 15 seconds and then you can alright keep it on the dead head alright let me put the mic in here so I don't have to hold this thing and we'll put it in laymen's face and then I will get that you're doing awesome huh what do you think so far guys guys and gals yeah we're getting started oh my god calm down the house changes colors to the house how do you mean the house changes colors like the the lighting of the oh that's fantastic RGB LEDs in there so they could make it any color they want yeah so like the werewolf was yeah like blue or silver whatever color always I guess like probably
    30:47
    so you could see the dead head the dead head floating on the screen she's there to let you know that she is active and wants to be hit in the face like that and now it's a mech holy crap
    31:13
