Beetlejuice

Released in late 2025 by Spooky Pinball, this official Beetlejuice pinball machine captures the quirky, macabre universe of Tim Burton's 1988 classic film with a fast, packed layout. Designed by Corwin "Bug" Emery and Spooky Luke, the standard machine retails around $9,999 and features custom artwork by Christopher Franchi, alongside sound arrangements that evoke Danny Elfman's movie themes and Harry Belafonte's music. The machine had a production run of 999 units.

The game subverts expectations right from the start with a unique skill shot where a poor plunge can deliberately look like an immediate drain, only for a playfield magnet to catch the ball and fling it back into action to simulate entering the afterlife. The lower and upper playfields connect via an intricate network of ramps, a moving physical sandworm toy that can actively grab shots, and a clever couch mechanism used for locking balls during multi-ball sequences. Players navigate shots toward Dante's Inferno Room ramps, a dynamic roulette wheel feature operated via the action button, and specialized target banks that spell out the titular character's name to unlock modes.

While community discussions on platforms like Pinside note that boutique layouts from this manufacturer can occasionally require mechanical fine-tuning, general consensus praises the machine for its high-energy flow, deep immersion, and faithful tribute to the source material.
