- Excluded some lamps for UN HAPPY HOUR shot large lamp effect (jackpots,
RGB arrows).
- Record high scores for MANSTER after a switch score (it was missing).
- Added a setting to pause timers w/ no switch activity after a time.
This is enabled for competition mode.
- Added a setting for making UN HAPPY HOUR difficult (the last ramp shot
made is OFF for a time period). Default is HARD for competition mode.
- Added more variety to the short versions of HAUNT completed (i.e.,
instead of "GREAT WORK!" all of the time, also play "NICE WORK!", "WELL
PLAYED!", and "WOW, WHAT A BLAST!")
- Added logic for player score spider. If there are at least two players
in the game and a player is behind by more than 250M and the player who
is up has scored more than 250M on the current ball and has been playing
for 10 minutes or more, a spider will crawl down the screen and spin a
web over the lowest scoring player's score.
- Start GAPPA ANGRY on BACK DOOR skill shot or BACK DOOR sneak-in.
- Added additional logic to keep the CELLAR RAMP from moving too soon.
When the CELLAR entrance opto is made, requests to move ramp are delayed
long enough so the ball can get into the CELLAR VUK. This stops the
motor from running up and down when it doesn't need to when the CELLAR
shot is made during DIRECTOR'S CUT and other modes.

- Allow DIRECTOR'S CUT start display effect to be canceled by the flippers.
- Increased the base value of UN HAPPY HOUR from 250k to 400k.
- Increased the base value of DRIVE ME CRAZY from 100k to 250k for each
deadhead banished.
- Reworked DIRECTOR'S CUT READY to incorporate the TRAILER TRASH rule:
- When completing the 4th HAUNT, do not light TRAILER TRASH.
- DIRECTOR'S CUT READY has LEFT RAMP, RIGHT RAMP, HOUSE RAMP lit in
CYAN (the color for DIRECTOR'S CUT).
- RAMPS behave exactly like TRAILER TRASH for awarding 4th HAUNT
points, except there is no hurry-up involved.
- Release balls locked in TRUNK LOCK after tilt during THEY CAME FROM
SPACE.
- Added a light show for completing the pop bumpers during POOL PARTY.
- Implemented the setting TRUNK DIVERTER WITH LOCKS behavior:
- OPEN = release locked balls at the start of multiball.
- CLOSED = keep locked balls, trunk diverter will stay closed as
long as there are balls locked in the trunk.
The only rule affected by this is MAKE-OUT MAYHEM.
- Fixed up video clips for MAKE-OUT MAYHEM. Some of these ran during the
background display effect when they should not (NOTLD, TFOS, TWOW, and
TWWOW).

- The TRUNK LID was not staying closed ALWAYS when there was a ball locked
in the TRUNK. This has been corrected.
- Lighten up shaker motor effect for GAPPA ANGRY sneak-in.
- Use a better sound for the DROP TARGET when hit.
- Fixed a bug in MAKE-OUT MAYHEM where the super jackpots would never light
up.
- Some sound effects for THEY CAME FROM SPACE would not interrupt sounds
always in progress. This has been corrected.
- When down to one ball during THEY CAME FROM SPACE, sneaking a ball into
the TRUNK LOCK will lock the ball and serve a new ball. After all balls
are lost during THEY CAME FROM SPACE, any balls locked in the TRUNK LOCK
will be released and the mode will continue instead of ending as before.
- "Egads, have you had enough" speech from Sir Normus Cranium did not have
reverb. This has been corrected.
- Shortened the effect for GAPPA ANGRY LEVEL 4 (TRUNK) LOCK when the ball
does not end up in the TRUNK so the illumination is not off when the ball
may be live on the playfield.
- Added video clips, sounds, and lights for DRIVE ME CRAZY total.

- Added new speech for UN HAPPY HOUR start.

- Added video clips, sounds, and lights for HOUSE PARTY total.
- Added adjustment "MOVIE TRAILER LENGTH" (Normal, Short, Off).
- The SUPER JACKPOT value for GAPPA ANGRY MULTIBALL was not being added to
for each shot during the mode. This has been corrected.
- Added sounds and lights for DIRECTOR'S CUT total.
- Added left and right ramp exit for consideration to reset the DROP TARGET.

- Limit the times the DROP TARGET can be raised to prevent balls from
getting stuck behind the target.
- Added video clips, sounds, and speech for GAPPA ANGRY MULTIBALL total.
- Added a MOVIE TRAILER that plays at the end of the game based on what
the player did in the game.
- Added more video clips to GAPPA ANGRY MULTIBALL.
- Added SUPER JACKPOT to GAPPA ANGRY MULTIBALL. Added display effect,
sounds, and speech.
- Added SUPER JACKPOTS to DANCE FEVER, MAKE-OUT MAYHEM, and RUN FOR YOUR
LIFE. Added display effect, sounds, and speech.
- Added additional speech for the start of SCREAM TEST.
- Added jackpot and feature lamps to the start effects for DANCE FEVER,
MAKE-OUT MAYHEM, SCREAM TEST, and RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
- Lower priority of freak fryer super jackpot display effects after some
amount of time (after big sounds and score has been displayed) so other
effects (jackpot) can come through.

- Added video clips for the start of SCREAM TEST.
- Added video clips, sounds, lights for SCREAM TEST total.

total. Removed text before speech. Show Elvira on the total page when
the super jackpot has been collected.
- Added video clips, sounds, and lights for the ATTIC ATTACK MULTIBALL
total.
- Added a lamp effect for the WILD WOMEN MULTIBALL total.
- Increased the volume for level 1 of GAPPA ANGRY; this was quieter than
the higher levels.
- Added video clips, sounds, and lights, for the PHONE-A-FIEND total. The
total page shows the maximum number of phones lit up during the multiball.
- Added video clips, sounds, and lights for the TRUNK MULTIBALL total.
- Added video clips for the FREAK FRYER level award.
- Added WILD MARKET VALUE HSTD to the attract mode.
- Fill out remainder of sound test table (includes MUSIC, FX and VO).
- Added video clips for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T
DIE, THE MANSTER, and THE WEREWOLF OF WASHINGTON totals.
- Changed text color to green-ish for THE MANSTER total page.
- Changed text color to silver-ish for THE WEREWOLF OF WASHINGTON total
page.
- Added illumination lights to FREAK FRYER multiball backgrounds and
awards.
- Added the HOUSE PARTY lamp when ready/active.
(This may be the first time ever that I have an insert that doesn't light
up and the rule is implemented. Note to self: you still got it wrong.)
- If a DEADHEAD is lit for completion where the player is allowed to fire
the ball at the 36-24-36 targets to banish the DEADHEAD and complete the
mode AND the CRYPT is lit to lock a ball during level 3 of GAPPA ANGRY,
then banish the DEADHEAD immediately and lock the ball for GAPPA ANGRY.
- Do not allow the FREAK FRYER to advance towards lighting GAPPA ANGRY
during THEY CAME FROM SPACE.

V1.11.0 - December 23, 2024
=====================

- Now the "Wild Market Value" Wizard Mode has 6 stages. It begins with a 1 ball Hurry-Up
award (stage 1) that is collected at the Wild Market Value Stand-Up target. Once collected
the game advances to 1 of 4 stages. Each stage (2, 3, 4, and 5) has a series/collection of
Jackpot awards that need to be collected to light the House Ramp shot for a Double Jackpot.
Collecting the Double Jackpot advances the game to the next stage. During stages
2,3,4, and 5 the player can make the WHITE Arrow shot (4 times) to add-a-ball into play.
Scores are multiplied by the number of balls in play, i.e. 2X, 3X, 4x, and 5X. Additionally,
hitting the "Wild Market Value" Stand-up target will cycle the game to the next stage. All
of the stages (2,3,4,5) must be completed to light the "Wild Market Value" Stand-Up
target (stage 6) for a Final Super Jackpot. The "Wild Market Value" Wizard Mode mode ends
by collecting the Final Super Jackpot. All of the balls are cycled back into the trough during
the "Final" Award presentation. The Mode also ends when all of the balls have drained without
completing all 6 stages. Once the Mode is over Game Play advances to the next player or to
the Match/Game Over sequence.
- Changed score awards for the "Wild Market Value" Wizard Mode. The stage 1 score award is
the HurryUp score collected at the "Wild Market Value" standup target. This Hurry-Up
award is based upon the Wild Market Value that has been built up thru game play prior to
starting the "Wild Market Value" Wizard mode. All stage 2 thru 5 Jackpot and Double Jackpot
score awards are derived from the collected HurryUp award, i.e. Jackpots = 10% of the awarded
HurryUp score while Double Jackpots = 20%. The HurryUp score Award plus all Jackpots and
Double Jackpots build/determine the Final Super Jackpot Award collected during stage 6 at the
"Wild Market Value" stand up target.
- Added background/award Speaker Lamp Effects to the "Wild Market Value" Wizard Mode.
- Added logic to raise the House Ramp during the "Wild Market Value" Wizard Mode
when everything is completed except the House Entrance Ramp Shot.

starting the mode and adding-a-ball to the mode.
- Added logic to allow the Deadhead rule, if necessary, to have priority of the Crypt
motor during the "Wild Market Value" Wizard Mode.
- Fixed a bug where the total score was not being displayed upon completing the
"Wild Market Value" Wizard Mode.
