I'm going to start things off today with some awesome new pictures of Spooky Pinball's factory in Benton, Wisconsin. You know how I love factory pics, so I asked my good friend Brady to grab some for us on his recent visit to Spooky HQ to work on the music and sound for Beetlejuice and several upcoming games from the Company.
