She was the theme of 3 different pinball machines produced over the years and all of them are sought after by collectors. They are really fun games with great art and theme integration. Scared Stiff is probably my favorite of the 3 (the other 2 being Elvira and the Party Monsters and Elvira’s House of Horrors)
Pinball aside, as another commenter in the thread stated: she kinda influenced my taste in women, as well 😅
Actually very well-designed games, imo! I love Scared Stiff because it has distinctive modes/challenges and particularly for the “wizard mode” where you try to run the “Stiff-o-Meter” to it’s limit. It’s got frogs (“Leapers”) that jump when you hit certain targets, it has a spinning spider in the backbox that you occasionally get to spin like a prize wheel to collect various bonuses, and the whole playfield gets used in creative ways to set up the various objectives. The sense of humor is spot-on too. I would add one to my collection if i had the money and space for it…
I don’t think they would be quite as sought-after by collectors if they weren’t genuinely good games. If I’m not mistaken, all 3 titles were designed by Dennis Nordman – a well-known and beloved designer who made some of the classics from the late 80’s into the early 90’s.
