How many pinball machines can you name that have something to do with Dracula?

[thinkhector]

I'll give the obvious one, (Bram Stocker's) Dracula.

 

[EldarOfSuburbia]

Monster Bash.

 

[jaredmorgs]

Class of 1812?

 

[Dedpop]

 

[Captain B. Zarre]

Stern Dracula.

 

[stevevt]

Taxi

 

[workshed]

For an obscure one, how about Mr. Evil? http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1638 and no, I've never seen one in the wild.

 

[MontanaFrank]

Elvira and the Party Monsters - Dracula is a party monster - I guess you could include Party Zone and Dracula is on the back glass.

 

[Extork]

I'm pretty sure the voice on Scared Stiff is Drac. "Hurry' stop the spider!"

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

Blade features Dracula on Pinball FX 2, but it wouldn't count as a real machine.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Nosferatu and Cyclone.

yeah, a ton of 'em - although another thread that asked something like "most commonly reoccurring character in pb," where i once guessed "dracula," noted that there are perhaps more easter-egg "cows" in modern pbs (a modern insider designer joke that started awhile back i guess). "taxi" is prebably my favorite "whuuut?" table where he appears...

jared, is he really in 1812 though? i hadn't looked closely, but i didn't think he was in that one (unless he's in the table/backglass art) - if you're thinking of the voiceovers, you might be confusing the "karloff/frankenstein" voice for a "drac" vocal... :0 good excuse though to pull that one up and play it again...

p.s. that's so awesomely groovie-ghoulie i'd expect to find it in sven's dungeon at the opening of his show!

I got to play it today. Surprisingly fun, if you can ignore the butt-ugly artwork.

heh! awesome... the artwork had to match the simplicity of technology of the time, usually it seems for older tabs. best part is i like the spare "plinkeyness" to the bell sounds of older machines. any cool special sound fx to it?

p.s. if the art and translucent pieces mounted up over the table were redesigned with modern LEDs and maybe different materials, could look rather rad! talking with a fellow artistic (lol AUtistic! co-worker earlier, i got to thinking about all the different ways to light up table designs - that high-reflectivity tape used in movie fx sometimes, "cold-light" chem-light tubes of goo (obviously would be a bit of a pain to replace in pb tables!) - fiber-optic thread-ends (something i hardly ever see used in design; probably the pain of drilling all the micro-holes to push fiber-ops into - still, a very dramatic effect!...heck, have any pbs ever been made with -lasers??- ;0 lol!!! that'd be such an awesome instant-sell for a rw table... "our pinball's got frickin' -LASERS!-" ;0

i'll reply to my own q here, now that i replayed it - i don't know if that mohawked guy on the table is the same character, but there does seem to be a "drac" guy just under-left of the "1812" on the backglass... plus that spinner does do the drac-cy "blblbl-blah-blah-blah!" thing, lol! so that must count; yeah that's that drac in 1812!

well it don't look like much! to begin with... (helk if they can do it with movies... revisit/resequel/relaunch... ;0 man the modern "hulk" series really got off on an awkward foot, didn't it? ;0 but it redeemed itself eventually...

You don't know hell until you've lived in a town where your only choices are Dr. Dude and Hollywood Heat.
