Six
of Universal Studios most famous Monsters form a band and together they play
at the
Monster Bash. Who knew they could even play
instruments or sing for that matter? Monster Bash features the Creature from
the Black Lagoon, Bride of Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Mummy, Wolfman and
Dracula that are all beautifully represented on the playfield. Even Dr.
Frankenstein and Egor are present.
Collect all the monsters and their instruments to start the Monster Bash, Mosh
Pit and Monsters of Rock modes. In Drac Attack Dracula comes out into the
middle of the playfield while trying to dodge your shots. Frankenstein
actually rises up from the laboratory table extending his arms after he's
assembled. The Brides head pivots up and down, as she gets ready to meet
the man of her dreams. In Mummy Mayhem the
Mummy is revealed after his sarcophagus pushes open. The Creature is under
green plexi glass and comes up from the Lagoon during the Creature Feature
mode. Full Moon Feature includes the Wolf-man as begins to itch and gets
hairy.

If you like interactive toys, horror
monsters and campy humor then Monster Bash is a pin for you. Designed by one
of the geniuses behind
Pinball 2000,
George Gomez delivers a pin that is a lot of
fun to play, watch and hear. The game also includes a "Phantom Flip" feature
that will make certain shots on the playfield like "Thing Flips" in
The
Adams Family. The music is top notch with some modes having creepy
organ music. The speech is amusing and varied enough not to get old. The
light show and DMD animations are some of the best in pinball. The game
feels like it was done in the spirit of
Elvira
and the Party Monsters and
Scared
Stiff. Speaking of Elvira...she makes an appearance in the
backglass (see below). Top to bottom Monster Bash is really entertaining with
solid flowing shots. While not the deepest pin around, its pure eye and
ear candy make it a fun pin to play.
Shop Job included:
Completely stripped the playfield to clean, polish and wax. Underside of playfield and all lenses cleaned. Flippers, pop bumpers and slingshots completely rebuilt. The cabinet was stripped and all imperfections filled with bondo then sanded flat. The inside/outside of the cabinet and hardware was repainted for decals.

Upgrades: Latest game ROM's, Pinball Pro cabinet and backboard speakers
Did you know
In the game there is a "Cow palace" venue.
In the Mosh Pit Multiball animation you can see a cow skeleton on the left side of the screen.
A DOHO is seen in the graveyard when Igor finds a part for the monsters body. Scott Slomiany (aka. Scott Matrix) "created" the DOHO and it stands for Doris Ho, Scott's wife.
Elvira, Elvis, a second Dracula and Wonder Woman can be seen on the backglass.
With a game
started, press the following sequence: B, 11L, 1R, 5L, 1R, 6L, 1R (that spells
KEF). If entered successfully Lyman Sheats will say "Totally" and your next
award at the "venue" scoop will be "Lyman's Lament".
Hitting the scoop with this ball will start Lyman's Lament, playing different
music along with the voice of programmer Lyman Sheats commenting while that
ball is played.
