For those with a dark side and enough room in their house for a statement piece, a rare “Elvira: House of Horrors” pinball machine has surfaced on Facebook Marketplace in Utica. Priced at $9,150 (or available for trade for other modern pinball machines), the seller says this machine is in “Home Use Only condition,” meaning it’s been carefully maintained and not subjected to the same number of thrusts Elvira’s machine might receive in a public arcade. The seller is upfront about some minor damage to the underside of the cabinet caused during delivery, but this minor defect doesn’t detract from its campy, spooky allure.
During gameplay, your balls will activate modes like “Gargoyle Multiball” and “Deadhead Family Crypt” while the playfield offers shaking effects and Elvira’s signature wit. This particular machine even has “over $600 worth of upgrades” to make it really pop in your game room. The seller even offers delivery and setup for a small fee.
“House of Horrors” is the third and most modern pinball game fashioned after everyone's favorite “Mistress of the Dark,” one of the most mass-marketed and licensed celebrities of the past 40 years. Her first machine, “Elvira and the Party Monsters,” was manufactured in 1989 by the Bally company, and was followed by “Elvira: Scared Stiff” in 1996.
