Scared Stiff Pinball Machine is a 1996 horror themed pinball game designed by Dennis Nordman and released by Midway (under the Bally label), featuring horror show-hostess Elvira. It is the follow-up to 1989’s Elvira and the Party Monsters, also designed by Nordman.
Scared Stiff Pinball Machine featues a B-movie horror theme. Players have to go through the Six Tales Of Terror to level up the Stiff-o-meter: Eyes Of The Bony Beast, Terror From The Crate, the Stiff In The Coffin, the Monster’s Lab, Night Of The Leapers, and the Return Of The Deadheads. The interactive backbox contains a player controlled spinning spider. It is used to collect unique features and start special modes. Scared Stiff uses the DCS Sound System.
