Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) is a great horror host for 3 reasons. 1) She's a really funny comedienne. If you ever see her out of character and joking around, she's very funny. (The "In Search Of Darkness" documentaries are a must see https://movieweb.com/in-search-of-darkness-elvira-collectors-edition-80s-horror/) Plus this character is great. A lot of memorable characters came out of the 80's. Y'all remember Ernest? (RIP Jim Varney) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_P._Worrell

These 70's-90's pinball and arcade promotions have a surprising amount of production value behind them. Generally funny and well made, they were made to sell arcade owners on the money making potential of these machines. Might have to go into a deeper dive on these.

As for the machine itself:
"A [September] 1996 Pinball game from Williams Electronics (under the Bally label), and the sequel to the 1989 game Elvira and the Party Monsters . For this game, designer Mark Weyna joined Dennis Nordman in the design, and Greg Freres returned for art duties.

This time around you're visiting the sexiest vamp this side of Transylvania in her humble abode, who's settling down for the evening with some spooky television programs. The goal of the game is to activate the Six Tales of Terror, from "Night of the Leapers" to "Terror From the Crate". Get through all the shows, then hit the crate to start the Stiff-O-Meter and see how Scared Stiff you can get. For more variety, scurry though the Boney Beast, peek at The Stiff inside the coffin, and dance with the Boogie Man."
