Tales from the Crypt

Tales from the Crypt is a licensed pinball machine based on the 1950s horror comic books and the horror anthology television series on HBO. The game was designed by John Borg, with art by Kurt Andersen and Markus Rothkranz, and released by Data East in 1993.

Similar to its namesakes, the Crypt game is centered on twelve frightful "Creature Features". As the cabinet shakes with the souls of previous players, Crack some Skulls, rob the Crypt, dodge the Guillotines, then try to select a Door Prize (but avoid the hangman!). Hit the Keeper's eyeballs, pound on the Tombstone, then confront the Werewolf and Play the Organ. Complete all twelve Features, then sit in the Electric Chair and fire it up for the Crypt Jam — all while the Crypt Keeper cackles away with his nonstop barrage of horror(-ble) puns...
