Evil Dead being #1 on Pinside Top 100 makes no sense due to vote weighting system

Spooky Pinball's Evil Dead theme is too niche - movies aren't good and lack mainstream appeal
"I know the callouts are going to be so funny, so hysterical. It's going to be like the next Rick and Morty. And if you've ever played Rick and Morty, gameplay is atrocious. It is atrocious gameplay. But the callouts and the humor and the personality in that game are just incredible."
Evil Dead will have incredible callouts and humor like Rick and Morty
